Have you ever thought about what it means to be unstoppable? It’s not just about our own strength or abilities. In fact, it’s not about us at all. It’s about something much greater – the unstoppable power of God’s Kingdom.
We recently wrapped up a series on the signs of Jesus with the most significant event – His resurrection. But that wasn’t the end; it was just the beginning of God’s plan to establish His Kingdom on Earth. When Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He emphasized praying for God’s Kingdom to come on Earth as it is in heaven. This is still God’s agenda today.
The resurrection marked the start of the establishment of God’s Kingdom. It was a continuation of God’s original purpose from Genesis, which sin had disrupted. Jesus’ victory over death signaled the reestablishment of the Kingdom through us.
Christianity spread remarkably across the globe, starting from a small group of scared individuals without established leaders or resources. Yet, it reached the ends of the earth. This spread demonstrates the unstoppable nature of God’s Kingdom, despite opposition from kings and states throughout history.
We want to share with you how God’s Kingdom is unstoppable and how He uses us to accomplish His plans. Our participation is crucial. There are only two kingdoms: the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of darkness, which represents ignorance and separation from God’s goodness. We must choose which kingdom we align with.
God’s Kingdom is one of righteousness, peace, joy, love, health, and prosperity. It stands in stark contrast to the Kingdom of darkness, which aims to steal, kill, and destroy. Being part of God’s Kingdom means being part of something good, something that provides for our needs and brings healing and restoration.
But God’s Kingdom doesn’t just stop with us. It spreads because people decide the mission is important enough to share the good news with others. Each person who has embraced the message of Jesus has made a sacrifice so that others can enjoy the benefits of the Kingdom.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll dive into the book of Acts to see how a small group of people with nothing going for them managed to fill the world with their message. They faced persecution and death, yet the Gospel still spread. This didn’t happen by itself; it required cooperation with God.
God has done everything necessary for the establishment of His Kingdom, but He needs us to work with Him. When we declare Jesus as Christ and put our faith in Him, we get enlisted in His mission. Life following Christ isn’t easy, but it’s filled with hope. With God, we overcome challenges.
Being active in God’s mission prevents discouragement and boredom in our spiritual walk. When we focus on the mission, we look beyond our differences and offenses. The mission unites us despite our diverse backgrounds because Christ and His mission are the equalizers.
We are called to be witnesses of His resurrection, trusting and proclaiming the risen Jesus. God resources those on mission. When we are missional, God provides what we need to fulfill His vision. So this week, think about who you can minister to, who you can witness to. Don’t let fear of man hold you back. Find your validation in God and reach out to someone in need of the message of God’s Kingdom.
Remember, God’s Kingdom is unstoppable, and He wants to use you to spread His message of hope and love.
