This is the sermon deliberated by John Koroi at Warehouse, Walu Bay, Suva, Fiji Islands, on Sunday 30th Sept, 2007.
Text: Ps 103:19
(Psa 103:19)
The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom rules over all.
Introduction:
• When we adopted the Kingdom agenda we come under the sovereign rule.
• Gods supremacy over all of his creation, visible and invisible.
• Gods rule is universal, absolute and comprehensive. God is accountable to no one.
• Sovereignty is what most people don’t like but it’s the way God does His business.
• (Psa 115:3)Our God is in the heavens, doing as he chooses.
• (Psa 145:13)Your kingdom will never end, and you will rule forever. Our LORD, you keep your word and do everything you say.
Gods Kingdom Agenda – Have Rules & Regulations
• (Rom 14:17) “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.”
• When we come to the Kingdom of God we have to live by the rules. We can all have opinions but we have to live by the rules of the Kingdom because this is Gods Kingdom and He sets the rule.
• (Mat 6:33) “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you”.
• This walk is about Gods agenda not my agenda and not my ways. Let God be God, let him have His ways and not mine.
• God is not for sale, when you receive Him, you receive his Kingdom and you also receive his rules & regulations
• (Psa 24:1)A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. (Psa 24:2)For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
• Friends God owns everything that we have we stewards of His great planet earth. Gods sovereignty means that He will be responsible when something goes wrong. He will fix it, I had rather be under Gods ownership.
• (Psa 24:3)Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? (Psa 24:4)He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. (Psa 24:5)He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
• Living in Gods Kingdom brings blessing but you do not get the blessing if you are not willing to live for His Kingdom.
• Until we become Kingdom people with a Kingdom Agenda, we will miss much of the blessing God has for us.
• You cannot have dual citizenship, the citizen of Gods Kingdom and the citizen of Babylon (Darkness).
Sovereignty & Our Choices
• Gods sovereignty means that He either causes all that happens or He permits all that happens,
• But whether He causes it or permits it when everything is finished, it will come out the way He wants it to come
out.
• (Rom 8:28) “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
• This means whatever happens whether we like it or not when it is said and done it will come out Gods way and His will.
• He can still do it without us, but I want to be in Gods bandwagon and experience the joy of fulfilling His purpose in this time.
• I do not want to be a spectator in this and I do not want to be a hindrance to the plan of God because He can go through me or over me.
• My prayer Lord do not pass me by.
Operates for His Glory:
• (Rom 11:36) “For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory forever. Amen.”
• God created the universe for His pleasure and glory. Everything under the universe was created by Him for His pleasure and glory. • (Rev 4:11) “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”
Christ Holds It together:
• (Col 1:15-17) “Christ who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:” (16) “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:” (17) “And he is before all things, and by him all things hold together.”
• Let me tell you that if you adopt Gods Kingdom Agenda, Christ will bring together the things in your life that are falling apart.
• He either fix the situation, fix you in the situation or fix you in spite of the situation. Christ can do that for you because he is the one that holds things together.
• Today I want to make you Lord significant.
According To Gods Will:
• (Mat 6:10)Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
• This Kingdom operates according to Gods will, you can not have the Kingdom if can not submit to the Kings will.
• (Mat 13:11) He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
• The Kingdom is a mystery to those who were aren’t willing to hear and see and understand what God is doing.
• Jesus would not reveal His Fathers will to people who are not willing to obey it.
• God knows you can do it and this is why He want you to be part of His Kingdom.
• (Dan 7:13-17) I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him(14)And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.(15) I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.(16)I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.(17)These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
• You are brought into Gods Kingdom to serve Him and to do His will and to confiscate from Satan that which belongs to God.
• (Isa 6:1)In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
• Some of us it takes tragedy that happens will make us see Him much clearer than before like the prophet Isaiah.
• We will see that our God rules the whole universe. (Isa 6:3)
• And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
• We can see ourselves clearly. (Isa 6:5) “Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.”
• We will experience GRACE. (Isa 6:6)Then flew one of the seraphim’s unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: (Isa 6:7)And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
• (Isa 6:8)Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
• Isaiah got to know the will of God and got the power to do the will of God when he saw God.
• He got into Gods Kingdom Agenda when He responded to Gods will
Becoming A Kingdom Person:
• (Mat 6:13)And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
• Kingdom Agenda is about doing Gods will and not ours even to the point that it is painful.
• Friends it is Gods program, Gods agenda that we want.
