What is the Message of the kingdom?

Kingdom message is defined as the lifelong, Bible-base, Christ-centered process of leading a person into a new identity with Christ. Kingdom message priority is to seek, find, and follow the will of God. Kingdom message works to develop people based on the teachings of Jesus, according to their specific abilities so that a person will be empowered to live a life characterized by power, love, trust, and obedience to Christ. The kingdom of God is a dynamic reality, not a static idea. The Kingdom of God is a central concept in the teachings of Jesus. It refers to the reign and rule of God in heaven and on earth, where God's will is done and his glory is revealed. The ultimate goal of the kingdom message is to develop a mature disciple of Jesus Christ whose life glorifies God and exemplifies righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. 

Where does the Message of the Kingdom come from? 

Kingdom message philosophy was pulled from Jesus' teachings in the four gospels. The Bible provides every believer with the principles needed to put the Kingdom message into practice. To understand the Kingdom's message, these biblical principles must be studied, understood, and practiced in every aspect of life. The kingdom message focuses on integration, once received you must "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. We understand we cannot influence what we avoid. The kingdom message also focuses on impacting the world, not departing from it. In other words, we have been trained to abandon Earth rather than transform it. 

 The Bible makes it quite plain that God, the Creator, is king over all creation. 

It is only fitting that our Creator has a kingdom because He is a king. 

We enter God's Kingdom when we confess faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, becoming "born again" believers. We become citizens of God's Kingdom but joint heirs with Christ to govern as kings and priests under the direction and power of King Jesus.
