The word “kingdom” indicates the richness of the heritage of the saints. It is no petty estate, no happy corner in obscurity. I have heard good men say that they would be content with a cabin in the corner of gloryland or a spot just inside the gate. I shall not be! The Lord says we shall inherit a kingdom. Jesus said that He has appointed unto us a kingdom, as His Father has appointed unto Him. We could not be satisfied to inherit less, because less than that would not suit our character. “Thou hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth” (Rev. 5:10). Those blessed ones who have received the call to sonship must reign with Christ, or be as wretched as deposed monarchs. A king without a kingdom is an unhappy and unfulfilled man! If I were a poor servant, a servant’s quarters would be a great thing, for it would correspond with my condition and degree; but if I am made a son of God, an heir of God and joint-heir with Jesus; if I am made a priest and a king, I must have a kingdom, or I shall not have attained to a position equal to my nature and potential. He who makes us kings gives unto us a kingdom to fit the character He has bestowed upon us. Aren’t you glad!
