DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE GOSPEL OF SALVATION OF DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD?

Many have preached every gospel you can think of that there was to preach but not the gospel that Jesus preached.  Have we preached about what Jesus did but not what Jesus taught us to preach? We’ve preached the gospel of salvation, the gospel of prosperity, the gospel of healing and the gospel of faith, but we haven’t truly preached the gospel of the Kingdom that Jesus preached.

WHAT GOSPEL DO YOU BELIEVE IN?

The word “gospel” is the word evangelum and it means “good news”. When we see that word gospel “good news” in the New Testament, watching how Jesus use the word “gospel” we begin to discover that there is a gospel that has not been preached.

Mat 6:33 AMP

But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.

Jesus is telling the disciples to “seek first”, the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things, (everything the Gentiles seek, food, shelter, clothing, security) will be added to them.

True believers need to reverse the curse of religion, denominationalism, and doctrinal dogma, and the traditions of men that have made the Word of God “ineffective” and that have made us like the scribes and Pharisees.  In order for us to do this we must rediscover the gospel that Jesus preached and you must preach the same gospel to the nations of the world.

Mat 24:14 AMP

And this good news of the kingdom (the Gospel) will be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then will come the end.

The preaching of the Kingdom is also preaching the message that signals the return of Jesus.  Now let’s look and re-discover the Kingdom message Jesus preached.

We live in a time where everything has been commercialized.  Unfortunately this tendency has now also come to the church and is widely practiced in the church at large.  Very few pastors and spiritual leaders are willing to recognize that they have been peddling the gospel of salvation rather than the gospel of the Kingdom of God.  Scripture is very clear with regards to preaching a false Gospel.

 Gal 1:8-9 KJV

(8)  But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

(9)  As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

The gospel of salvation that is being preached today is focused on winning souls for Jesus which sounds so spiritual.  The problem does not lie in winning souls for Jesus but rather in the message that is used to win these souls to Jesus.

I would like to present to you this short summary table explaining the difference between these gospels:

Its time to rediscover the Kingdom and return to preaching the gospel Jesus commanded us to preach.

When you preach and live the gospel of the Kingdom as Jesus preached and you live your life submitted to the Sovereign King allowing Him to “actively” reign in your life, then the provision of heaven is open to you and you will find yourself living according to God’s divine plan for man. You go from being orphans with a form of godliness, denying the power thereof, to being sons and daughters of the Most High King, operating according to the purpose for which God sent you into the earth.

YOU ARE AN AMBASSADOR

As a truly born again believer, as a son of God, you are an ambassador of the Kingdom of God.  Your mandate is to takeover territory, advancing the Kingdom of God as you preach, teach and demonstrate the Kingdom and His righteousness to the nations of the world.

2Co 5:17-20 AMP

(17)  Therefore if any person is [in grafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!

(18)  But all things are from God, Who through Jesus Christ reconciled us to Himself [received us into favor, brought us into harmony with Himself] and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation [that by word and deed we might aim to bring others into harmony with Him].

(19)  It was God [personally present] in Christ, reconciling and restoring the world to favor with Himself, not counting up and holding against [men] their trespasses [but canceling them], and committing to us the message of reconciliation (of the restoration to favor).

(20)  So we are Christ’s ambassadors, God making His appeal as it were through us. We [as Christ’s personal representatives] beg you for His sake to lay hold of the divine favor [now offered you] and be reconciled to God.

May you be blessed in beginning to rediscover the Kingdom of God, the central message Jesus preached. There is so much more, but thanks be to God that out of 6.7 billion people on the planet, God has chosen you and many others to discover, embrace and experience the Kingdom now.
