What are the biggest mistakes people make when visiting your country?

View all responses

My country is the kingdom of God. God has freely rescued me from the kingdom of darkness and brought me into His Kingdom with the risen Jesus as my King and Lord. (Colossians 1:13) The biggest mistakes people make about the kingdom of God are: 1) They believe that they can earn their way into it by good works; 2) They believe that they can bring it about through political power; and 3) Many Christians believe the kingdom of God can only be experienced by going to Heaven.

However, Jesus taught that “the kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:20-21) The Bible says, “Christ in you, is the hope of glory.” (Colossians 1:27) The kingdom of God happens every time someone allows King Jesus to lead and direct them from deep within.

Kingdom of God Ministry

There’s no way to earn
God’s spiritual gifts.
People want to learn
Details about God.
But they need to learn
To let their heart yearn
To be closer to God.
That’s why Jesus said
To hunger and thirst
For God’s righteousness,
Which is a free gift
That no one can earn.
With all your heart turn
And ask God to burn
Within you like fire.
Let Christ overturn
Your pride’s self-concern.
Begin to seek first
The kingdom of God
And actively learn
To let Him rule and
Reign deep within you
And to demonstrate
His presence through
What you say and do.
