Todays Effective Kingdom Living post: 12/5/14 An Ambassador The message of the Gospel of the Kingdom was so costly, that it took the life of Jesus Christ. This costly message must have been very important to God and His Creation. The Kingdom of Heaven is an actual place, that is not limited to Heaven only and it is where God the father lives, while the Kingdom of God is the principles or instructions that the Kingdom of Heaven operates. This concept of the Kingdom embraces the fact that the Kingdom of God gave birth to the Kingdom of Heaven; for instructions are always given first. It is also very important to know that the Kingdom of Heaven is not limited to heaven meaning that it has the ability to extend, stretch or relocate it to wherever it is invited. How can this Heaven extend, stretch or be relocated to earth? This question can be answered in Jesus instruction to His disciples in regards to prayer. Luke 11:2 “When you pray, Say Our Father who art in Heaven hollowed be thy name thy KINGDOM come, thy will be done on EARTH as it is in HEAVEN.” Prayer is therefore necessary for the bringing of Heaven to Earth. We must remember the Kingdom was on Earth since the foundation of this world. The task to bring back Heaven to Earth is given to men and women who would represent Heaven on Earth. The Kingdom left Earth because of the fall of man. After the fall Jesus came to RE-PRESENT the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth AGAIN!!! Jesus clearly performed this task through His early morning prayer. Jesus was truly an Ambassador of Heaven on Earth. Definition of an Ambassador An ambassador is a person who represents a country and Jesus was and is the first Ambassador of the country of Heaven to Earth. We are Ambassadors just like our Lord. Scripture says in 2nd Corinthians 5:20 “Now then, WE ARE AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us; we implore you on Christs behalf, be reconciled unto God” To become an Ambassador of a country, a person must first become a citizen of that country. Lets check the constitution of the country of Heaven to see if we would qualify, Philippians 3:20 “For OUR CITIZENSHIP is in HEAVEN from which we also eagerly waits for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.” Since we are citizens of Heaven we are qualified to become Ambassadors.
