 DEFINITION OF A KINGDOM
•A kingdom is a sovereign rule of a king
over a territory or domain impacting it
with his will purpose and intent.
Producing a culture values morals and
lifestyle that reflect the kings desires and
nature for his citizens
• THE BIBLE IS ABOUT A KING HIS KINGDOM AND HIS ROYAL FAMILY
• THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS THE REIGN AND RULE OF GOD ON EARTH
• IN SHORT ITS HEAVEN ON EARTH
• THE WILL PURPOSE AND INTENTIONS OF GOD ON EARTH
• HENCE JESUS DEMONSTRATED IT WITH CASTING OUT DEMONS LUKE 11 V 20
• IF WITH A FINGER GOD CAST OUT DEMONS THEN THE KINGDOM HAS COME
• HEALING THE SICK MATT 10 V 7 TO 8
• GO TELL JOHN WHAT YOU SEE AND HEAR MATT 11 V 5
• HE CAME TO DEMONSTRATE WHAT THE FIRST ADAM WAS SUPPOSE TO DO
WALKED ON WATER, CALM THE STORM, TOOK MONEY OUT OFA FISH MOUTH,
FEED THE MUTITUDES, SPOKE TO TREES
CAME TO DEMONSTRATE THE POWER OF THE KINGDOM
• THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOT HEAVEN, ITS NOT THE CHURCH, ITS NOT RELIGION
And as you go, preach, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' 8 "Heal {the}
sick, raise {the} dead, cleanse {the} lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received,
freely give. MATT 10 V 8

Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come,
He answered them and said, "The kingdom of God does not come with observation;
21 "nor will they say, 'See here!' or 'See there!' For indeed, the kingdom of God is
within you." (Luke 17 V 20 - 21
Difference between the kingdom of heaven and GOD
Members of the religious group known as the Pharisees asked Jesus when the
Kingdom of God would come. Jesus provided a great truth to them, and to us, that
the Kingdom of God exists within us! How does the Kingdom of God exist within
us? Through the indwelling of God’s Holy Spirit who enters into us when we are
spiritually born again! It is through the actions and the power of the Holy Spirit
that believers are enabled to bring about that which exists in heaven into the
earthly realm! The dove of NOAH
• RELIGION IS WHAT MAN DOES UNTILL HE FINDS THE KINGDOM
• RELIGION PREPARES MAN TO LEAVE THE EARTH, THE
KINGDOM EMPOWER MAN TO DOMINATE EARTH
• RELIGION FOCUS ON HEAVEN KINGDOM IS GOD COMING
DOWN TO EARTH
• RELIGION IS REACHING UP TO GOD, KINGDOM IS GOD COMING
DOWN TO MAN,
• RELIGION WANTS TO ESCAPE EARTH THE KINGDOM IMPACTS
AND INFLUENCE AND CHANGES EARTH
• RELIGION SEEKS TO TAKE EARTH TO HEAVEN KINGDOM SEEKS
TO BRING HEAVEN TO EARTH
• READ MATT 23 V 13 TO 15
“Too many ‘Christians’ are simply religious people,
but citizens of the kingdom are legal people — legal
in the sense that by virtue of a spiritual birth each
individual in the kingdom has the rights and
blessings of citizens of this heavenly kingdom. We
must be delivered from our religious mind sets and
have our thinking readjusted so that we can take on
a regal mind set”.

The Parable of the Mustard Seed
31 
Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The
kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man
took and sowed in his field, 32 which indeed is the least of
all the seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the
herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air
come and nest in its branches.”
The Parable of the Leaven
33 
Another parable He spoke to them: “The kingdom of
heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in
three [c]measures of meal till it was all leavened.”
Matthew 13:44
¶“44The kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. A man
found it, and he concealed it. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he
has and buys that field.” (Matthew 13:44).
The hiding of the treasure means that when you find the kingdom of God, you
must SECURE it for yourself so that you keep it safe from the thieves and robbers among
the devil and his ilk.
The extreme value of the treasure was recognised as greater than all the man's
possessions, because he sold them all to buy the field in which the treasure was hid. The
kingdom of God has treasure more valuable by far than anything we possess. We should
gladly sacrifice everything we possess, if need be, that we might possess the
kingdom of Heaven.
The man was overwhelmed with joy when he found the treasure. God brings us into his
kingdom for this purpose, that we might share in his joy, and that for ever. This world has
no lasting joy, but heaven has. That's why we should seek and secure our place in heaven,
and not love the things of this world (1John 2:15-17).
Matthew 13:45-46
¶“45Again, the kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant in search of fine
pearls, 46who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and
bought it. ” (Matthew 13:45-46).
This parable is like the one before it. Again a man sells everything he has
to buy a treasure he has found. No doubt there were many pearls on offer to
this merchant, but he found one far superior to to all of them. The merchant
could not resist this pearl, and he sent himself broke to get it.
It might be stretching this parable a bit but I cannot help asking why Jesus
chose a pearl rather than a gold nugget or a diamond. It may be that a pearl
is a ready made treasure that cannot be improved upon by man.
A pearl need not be melted down and purified, nor does it need facets cut
upon it so that its glory may be seen. The kingdom of God comes to us
already perfect. We cannot improve it in any way, or make it more
valuable than it is.
 
Matthew 13:52
¶“52And he said to them, 'Therefore every scribe
who has been trained for the kingdom of Heaven is
like a master of a house, who brings out of his
treasure both what is new and what is
old.'” (Matthew 13:52).
Mark 4:26-29
¶“26And Jesus said, 'The kingdom of God is like a man scattering seed on the
ground. 27He sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows —he
knows not how. 28The earth, by itself, produces first the blade, then the ear, then the
full grain in the ear. 29But when the grain is ripe, at once the man puts in the sickle,
because the harvest has come.'” (Mark 4:26-29).
The spiritual nature of the kingdom of God is shown in this parable. The
kingdom is of God, not of man. How does the gospel seed sprout in the
hearts of men, and cause them to bear fruit for God? It is the Lord's doing
and it is marvelous in our eyes.
We cannot make the kingdom of God by laying brick upon brick, or by
multiplying gold and silver, or by sending ships to Tarshish. All we mortals
can do is plant the seed God gives us, and wait for God to make it grow. We
can nurture and husband the sprouting seed, but it is God who gives the
increase.
