Now, let’s dive into today’s teaching: The Kingdom Colonization Mandate – Session 10
In this session, we will focus on three key words that define God’s plan: Colonization, Culture, and Community.
God’s Plan: Establishing Heaven on Earth
It’s important to understand that God created the world with the purpose of extending His Heavenly Kingdom to Earth. According to Scripture, God’s primary plan was never to establish a religion, but rather to create a heavenly community on Earth. The ultimate goal of His Kingdom is to develop a community that reflects the culture of Heaven.
Today’s theme is “The Colonization Concept of Community.” When a kingdom colonizes a territory, its goal is to establish a community. That’s why we’ll be exploring the priority of community in a Kingdom.
The Role of Community in a Kingdom
Kingdoms are designed to create a unified people under the rule of a king. These people reflect the king’s character, values, and culture. In other words, a kingdom is recognized not just by the presence of its king, but by the lifestyle of its citizens.
You can tell what kind of king rules a kingdom by observing its people. The way they live, speak, and conduct themselves is a direct reflection of their ruler. This principle is evident throughout Scripture, but one of the most vivid examples is found in the story of the Queen of Sheba’s visit to King Solomon.
The Queen of Sheba and the Kingdom of Solomon
King Solomon, known as the wisest and richest king of his time, ruled the most powerful kingdom on Earth. When the Queen of Sheba traveled from Africa to meet him, she had already heard great things about his wisdom and wealth. But what truly overwhelmed her was not just Solomon himself—it was the lifestyle of his citizens.
The Bible says that as soon as she entered the city, she was astonished by what she saw. The clothing of the people, the quality of their food, and the luxury of their surroundings left her breathless. Even the servants ate from silver plates and used golden utensils. The housekeepers wore fine silk, and the palace grounds displayed unimaginable splendor.
By the time she reached Solomon’s throne, she had no spirit left in her—she was completely in awe. This is how kingdoms manifest: through the culture, wealth, and excellence of their people.
The Kingdom of God: A Reflection of Divine Majesty
The concept of kingdom culture isn’t just found in earthly monarchies. The Bible gives us a glimpse of Heaven’s majesty through John’s vision in Revelation. When he was taken to Heaven, he described streets of gold, floors sparkling like precious gems, and a throne surrounded by brilliance. What people on Earth fight for, God uses as pavement!
This is why earthly kings, inspired by divine greatness, adorn their palaces with gold, jewels, and splendor. When I visited Buckingham Palace, I saw firsthand how a kingdom reflects the majesty of its ruler. The palace’s golden ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and vast royal grounds all declare the greatness of its monarchy—even before you meet the king or queen.
Living as Citizens of the Kingdom
As believers, we are called to reflect the Kingdom of God in how we live. Our words, actions, and way of life should demonstrate the culture of Heaven. In God’s Kingdom, prosperity is not something to seek—it is simply a reflection of His rule.
Stay tuned as we continue to explore the Kingdom Colonization Mandate and what it means to live as true citizens of Heaven here on Earth.
