Have you listened to Myles Munroe talk about the kingdom before? I want to use this third part of this topic to prove to you that there is a work that Christians are meant to do on the earth and this work is what will bring our Lord Jesus back to the earth.
For a while now, we have believed that the reason why God left us here on earth after we got saved is so that we can preach to others to get saved. That is quite true, but it's not complete. We are also meant to preach what Jesus called the gospel of the kingdom.
There is this story that is very fascinating in the bible. It's the story of how a King had a dream and forgot the dream, but he wanted to know the meaning. I wondered how cruel he must have been to call for the head of his counselors who told him that his wish was impossible.
The king was definitely uncomfortable with the fact that he had forgotten his dream and he knew that the dream was very important. But there was no one to tell him. In fact, they said "no man on the earth can reveal this matter".
Then, an Israelite was called and he solved the entire problem. There is another similar story, but this time, the king could remember his dream. His wise men, however couldn't interpret the dream too. This king was also very troubled like the first king. It was another Hebrew boy that solved this and saved the whole world.
This two stories point to the value that Christians will carry before the end of this age. Before rapture, the world will come to respect the army of God on earth. It would interest you that these two Hebrew boys were not in there home at that time. They were far away from their kinsmen. Let me remind you of a scripture
1 Peter 2:11 Beloved, I beg [you] as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,
You see my friends, even as pilgrims on earth, we are meant to subdue the earth with the power of the age to come. We will see this kind of stories happen in our days before the rapture will happen. Someone once said to me that there is truly no new thing under the sun, but what about above the sun?
There are folks that believe that until the millennial reign of Jesus, we wouldn't see any trace of the influence of righteousness, peace and joy on the earth. That's not true. Bible talks about tasting the powers of the age to come...
Even if it is just a taste, I am interested!
Will you be part of the army of the LORD or you will be a spectator?
