PROCLAIMING THE KINGDOM OF GOD

PROCLAIMING THE KINGDOM OF GOD
(no matter what)
NOTHING in this world
Should hold us back
From PROCLAIMING
The Kingdom of God
Proclaiming the kingdom OF LOVE
Today's reading describes Paul
As being UNDER house arrest=
He is in chains and LIVING
Under house arrest=
With a Roman soldier-his guard
For two years=
Yet he WELCOMES ALL
That come to see him
And PROCLAIMS the Kingdom
Of God="without hindrance"
"Paul received all
Who came to him
And with COMPLETE assurance
And without hindrance=
He PROCLAIMED
The Kingdom of God
And taught about
The Lord Jesus Christ"                                                                                                                  Acts 28:30-31
NOTHING stops God
From loving us
In this world
In fact=when we endure setbacks
God LOVES US
Even more
Therefore we should proclaim
The Kingdom of God
NO MATTER WHAT
"Sing the praises
Of the Lord
Enthroned in Zion
PROCLAIM among the nations
What he has done"                                                                                                                            Psalm 9:11
"In that day you will say=
'Give praise to the Lord
PROCLAIM his name
Make known
Among the nations
What he has done
And PROCLAIM
That his name is exalted'"                                                                                                                 Isaiah 12:4
Proclaim the Kingdom of God-
The kingdom of LOVE
No matter
What is going on
In your life
NO MATTER
What setbacks you are encountering
Paul's EXAMPLE
Is ENCOURAGING for
All of us
For no matter what we bear=
Illness-old age-inexperience-
Or time-consuming responsibilities
We can still
PROCLAIM the Kingdom of God
Like Paul=we can still
WELCOME OTHERS=
Dear Lord=let nothing
Hinder us
From proclaiming
Your GOODNESS and love
In your world today
"He is the one
We PROCLAIM
Admonishing and teaching everyone
With all wisdom
So that
We may present everyone
Fully mature in Christ"                                                                                                                   Colossians 1:28
Dear Lord=help us
To continue to PROCLAIM
Your word and your love
As well as your goodness
NO MATTER=what may be
Our situation
In this world
In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our ALL LOVING FATHER
