BUILDING THE KINGDOM=HIS WAY

 

BUILDING THE KINGDOM=HIS WAY

 

Did you ever NOTICE

That the Kingdom of God=

The Kingdom of Jesus

That our FAITH

Is full of paradoxes?

 

For example=

Jesus is the

KING of the Universe

 

And yet he humbled himself

And became ONE OF US=

He became HUMAN!=

He FACED all the

Trials and tribulations

That we all face=

And even more=

Death on the CROSS!

 

“MY KINGDOM does

Not belong to this world”                                                                                                   John 18:36

 

Jesus washed the feet

Of his apostles=

And expects us=to do the same

In other words=

We BUILD up the Kingdom

By BEING OF SERVICE

To others

 

BUILDING UP THE KINGDOM=

HIS WAY!

 

“Unless the Lord-

BUILDS the house=

The builders-labor in vain

 

Unless the Lord

Watches over the city

The guards stand=and watch in vain”                                                                                         Psalm 127:1

 

“But knowledge puffs up=

While love BUILDS UP”                                                                                                            1 Corinthians  8:1

 

Jesus had PERFECT LOVE

No one else=

IN the history of mankind

Has ever done this

 

He is no ordinary KING=

Ruling with POWER and fear=

HE SERVES US=serves us with love

We should do=the same

 

BUILDING UP THE KINGDOM=

HIS WAY

 

Jesus is the=King of Mercy=he is

The King of gentleness

We all=should be the same

LIVING LIVES OF SERVICE

And waiting on=the Kingdom of God

 

We pray=”Thy kingdom come

Thy will be done”

 

BUILD UP=the kingdom

Living lives of SERVICE=

And waiting on

The Kingdom of God

 

“There are=different kinds

Of SERVICE=

But the same Lord”                                                                                                                    1 Corinthians 12:5

 

“…….to equip his people

For works of service=so that

 

The body of Christ

MAY BE BUILT UP=until

We all reach unity=in the faith

And in the knowledge

Of the Son of God

 

And become mature=

Attaining to the whole measure

Of the fullness of Christ”                                                                                                 Ephesians 4:12-13

 

Jesus’ Kingdom

Is NOT of this world=

That is WHY=we don’t understand

Doing things=HIS WAY

 

Dear Lord=we PRAY

Help us to BUILD UP

YOUR KINGDOM=in this world

 

By being your WILLING SERVANTS

And doing it=YOUR WAY!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our ALWAYS SERVING=Holy Father God!
