GOD'S KINGDOM IS GROWING

GOD'S KINGDOM IS GROWING


Do you know that RIGHT
This moment=that GOD'S KINGDOM
Is growing?


EVERY time your will FOLLOWS
GOD'S WILL=God's kingdom grows=
Sometimes=it grows=even
Despite you=despite us


“It is like a MUSTARD SEED that
When it is sown
In the ground


Is the SMALLEST of all the seeds
On the earth” Mark 4:31


Jesus tells us that the
KINGDOM of God starts out small
Like a mustard seed


But it is destined to GROW
And EMBRACE all of us
With its fullness


Yes=God's KINGDOM is always GROWING
And hopefully=it is always
GROWING in us too


“In the same way
The GOSPEL is bearing fruit
And growing


Throughout the whole world---------
Just as it has
Been doing among you


Since the day you heard
And truly understood
GOD'S GRACE” Colossians 1:6


GOD'S KINGDOM IS GROWING!
In you=and in me=and
THROUGHOUT the whole world


“.........So that you
May LIVE a life worthy
Of the Lord=and please him
In every way


BEARING FRUIT=in every good work=
Growing in the knowledge of God” Colossians 1:10


“WE ought ALWAYS
To thank God
For you =brothers and sisters


And rightly so
Because your FAITH
Is growing more and more


And the LOVE all of you have
For one another
Is increasing” 2 Thessalonians 1:3


Yes=our FAITH is GROWING=and our
LOVE for each other is GROWING too


And because of it
GOD'S KINGDOM is growing


We don't hear a lot
Of good things in the news=
But I ASSURE you
Good things are happening


People CARING for their sick loved ones=
People donating their TIME too=
FEEDING the poor


A lot of people VOLUNTEER
Their time and efforts=out of
The GOODNESS of their hearts


Much of this CONTRIBUTES to
The GROWING KINGDOM of God


The kingdom of God
BEGINS with God's initiative=but it
Takes our COOPERATION
With the PLAN of God
For it to work


“Do not those
Who plot evil go astray


But those=
Who PLAN what is good
FIND love and faithfulness” Proverbs 14:22


The KINGDOM of God
Is indeed GROWING


Dear Lord= we PRAY that we COOPERATE
With your PLANS for the kingdom


In Jesus' name
