God created all things for his pleasure and purposes, Revelation 4:12
“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure, they are and were created.”
Man’s arrogance assumes they have the power to determine the outcome. However, life can take unseen twists and turns.
Sin reached fullness in Egypt. God said, let my people go!
The first plague, turning the waters of the Nile River into blood, was enough to accomplish God’s will to deliver the Children of Israel out of Egypt. Pharaoh was willing to let the people go.
BUTGod hardened Pharoah’s heart
The second plague was an increase in frogs. The river brought forth an abundance of frogs, which entered their houses, bedrooms, beds, the houses of Pharaih’s employees, the citizens of Egypt, ovens, and kneading bowls.
Frogs invaded Egypt and were everywhere, in everything. As the frogs began to die, the stench of rotten frog carcasses saturated the land. Pharaoh was willing to let the people go (Exodus 8:8), but God again hardened his heart.
Frogs in our midst
The Bible doesn’t say how long the frogs stayed in the land of Egypt. But we know it was long enough to break the will of Pharaoh.
“For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.” Romans 9:15-16 (KJV)
There many distraction in the land. Many threats against our well being. Many people talking about the illuminati, George Soros, Elon Musk…
The God Factor
But have anyone thought about God’s plans for today?
For example, no where in recorded human history did this level of unity exist:
“And the whole earth was of one language, and one speech.” Genesis 11:1
Nowhere in recorded human history has there ever been a moment when everyone worked together. God said,
“And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.” Genesis 11:6 (KJV)
Amid incredible unity, the God Factor stepped in, confounded their language, and scattered them across the earth.
We are in a time when it would be wise to ask what God is doing!
The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land, as opposed to the Word of God which contained in the New Testament or what is called a Covenant!
“For when God made a promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he swear by himself.” Hebrews 6:13
New Covenant
“By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament” Hebrews 6:22 (KJV)
The original government over the earth was situated in the Garden of Eden.
According to Genesis 2:10, A river went out of Eden to water the garden. The river was divided into four streams that flowed into the earth.
What is the source of the river?
Revelation 22:1 (KJV)
“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.”
The Bible tells us that God is the river’s source of the river. The river comes out of His throne. The river is called the river of life.
What caused the river to be cut off?
Theft! They were forewarned! The moment that they ate fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they died. The source of life was disconnected.
The governing system of creation was created by God to be a worship system.
The governing system that will take us into eternality is a worship system
“And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him.” Revelation 22:3 (KJV)
Why the image of a Lamb?
Why the image of a Lamb on the throne?
The revelation of Jesus which God gave to to show his servants was that Jesus is the sacrifice, the LAMB of God
Revelation 5 is the coronation of the LAMB of God
Why give us the image of a slaughtered lamb in the midst of the throne? (See verse 6)
Why is God showing us thousands and thousands and tens of thousands of angels worshipping the Lamb? See verse 8
The four beasts, 24 elders and angels fell down before the Lamb
“Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and honour, and glory, and blessing.” Revelation 5:12 (KJV)
What is God saying about His system of government?
Making the connection
Presently, we see many forms of government on earth. We have experienced many forms of government by people for people.
According to Daniel 2:34-35, the last form of government will be a global government headed by ten kings. Daniel was given a vision of a stone cut out without hands. God shall set up a kingdom
His government shall fill the earth. God has never abandoned his creation.
“Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD’S thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.” Deuteronomy 10:14 (KJV)
“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” John 7:38 (KJV)

A kingdom is a country, state, or territory ruled by a king or queen.
“The spiritual reign or authority of God.”
In a kingdom, one person makes the decisions for everybody else. The government meets people’s needs. People enjoy security and peace.
Republic
According to the Oxford Dictionary, a republic is,
“a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch.”
Citizenship
A person born into a country is entitled to the rights and benefits of that state. You are given a birth certificate signed by a doctor with your footprint. You are obligated to follow its rules, laws, and statutes.
Age Old Conflict
We bring the form of government in which we were born into our worship of God. God is represented by Jesus, a king.
For example, a difficult transition for most people entering the kingdom of God is how they relate to money.
Jesus said It is impossible to serve God and money.
The forces of wealth pull on a person’s heart. The love of money is the root of all evil
Jesus said,
“No man can serve twomasters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24 (KJV)
“And Jesus looked round about, and said unto his disciples, How hardly shall they have riches enter into the kingdom of God! And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!”
Faith
God has chosen the poor of this world,rich in faith heirs of the kingdom, which he promised them that love him, James 2:5
“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder to them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6
Jesus addressed the issue of food, water, and clothes. What impressed me was that he said the Gentiles sought after these things. Those who have no relationship with God are consumed with seeking food, water, and clothes. But Jesus said, your father already knows what you need. Jesus, seek the kingdom of God and his righteousnessfirst, and all those other things shall be added unto you!
I noticed that during Superbowl 59, some of the focus was on the expensive watches Tom Brady and others were wearing.
God’s Love
In Matthew 6, Jesus calls attention to the Lillies of the field. He said, consider how they grow. He said they don’t toil, neither do they spin!
Compares the Lillies of the field to the glory of Solomon. He said,
“And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like of these.” Matthew 6:29
I read of Solomon’s glory. It is said that Queen Sheba almost fainted when she saw how wealthy he was and how happy his servants were (1 Kings 10:1-10)
Jesus said,
“Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothed you, O ye of little faith?” Matthew 6:30 (KJV)
So the battle that we fight every single day is a battle of faith. Some people’s faith will only go so far. They have little faith. Then there are people like the Centurion soldier who sought Jesus to heal his servant. Jesus was prepared to go to his house. The centurion soldier said to Jesus, ‘you dont have to come to my house, just say the word and my servant shall be healed. Jesus was astonished at the centurion soldier’s faith. He called it great faith.
Great faith doesnt grow in one day or week, month or even after many years. But it does start the moment to turn and seek God with all your heart.
Many of us know our citizenship rights and the laws of the land. We know the economic system. You know how to work the system.
Do you know your kingdom’s rights and benefits? Do you know your covenant rights? Do you know your inheritance? Have you worked the laws of the kingdom from seed to harvest?
I leave you with this final word taken from 1 Timothy 6:17,
“Charge them that rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richlyallthingstoenjoy.”
This, again is the battle that we fight every single day! Apostle Paul said,
Fight the good faith of faith lay hold on eternal life. You want the gift of life to flow upon everything to everything!
Many believe our battle is with the government, Maga, the Republicans or Democratic parties, the Chinese government, terrorists, or the banks.
The truth is, according to Ephesians 6:12,
“For we wrestle not flesh and blood, but against principalities, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
We fight against unseen forces of spiritual darkness.
Ephesians 2:2 says,
The prince of the power of the air, the spirit that works in the children of darkness.
The prince of the power of the air is another title for Satan, also known as the serpent from Genesis 3:1, the Devil, and the great dragon!
As the prince of the power of the air, he influences culture. He works through people to get them to produce his music, to spread his message; to grow and sell his drugs.
He is also known as the god of this world. Why does he want us to strive against one another?
God gave man dominion over the works of his hands. When we fight one another, dominion is being exercised against dominion. It’s like two vice presidents of a company fighting over the same resources.
There is NO DIVISION in the Satan’s kingdom
Jesus said,
“But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.” Luke 11:17
Jesus said,
“If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.” Luke 11:18
I would have believed the kingdom of darkness operates as a unified force if Jesus had not said this
Go back to the Original Source
God created everything. God chose to give man dominion. All creation exist for this singular purpose:
“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure, they are and were created.” Revelation 4:11
You want to know what Satan fears more than anything?
You becoming like God. Genesis 1:26
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and OVER ALL the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”
Once you become what God created you to be, Satan loses all power over you. You cease to be a victim of circumstances
God had no doubt about man being made in his image and likeness. However, he never intended for them to know good or evil.
God decided that man should sacrifice the knowledge of that fruit to him as an offering of worship.
Satan, working through the serpent, got them to take their eyes off God and focus on obtaining knowledge to be like God, knowing good and evil. The woman saw that the tree was good for food, pleasant to the eyes, and the fruit good for making one wise, and she took it.
What should we be doing on this day and at this hour?
Jesus said,
“Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness.” The problem is that none of us, having been raised in a democracy, truly understood what the kingdom of God is like. We do not know the benefit of the kingdom of God.
Today, I checked my checking account balance on my banking app. At the top of the banking app is this statement:
“FDIC-insured-Backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government”
You know what God says to us
“By myself have I sworn,”
God confirms his word by an oath, Hebrews 6:17, by two immutable, unchangeable things: God can not lie and his oath.
Jesus was made a priest by an oath. Hebrews 7:21, “… The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.”
We are coming to
“And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.” Hebrews 12:24
We got a representative that stands before God on our behalf.
We have a new contract backed by the full faith and credit of Jesus’ sacrifice.
All Hell may be releasing its power against the world
Do this:
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.” Ephesians 6:10
Then he tells you to put on the whole armour of God,
He also tells us to do this:
Let Christ dwell in your by faith. Be rooted and grounded in love, that you might be able to know the breath, length, depth, and height, to know the love of Christ that transcends human knowledge
That you might be filled with all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:17-19)
If you didn’t know God’s original purpose in Genesis 1:27, that God destined you and me to be created in His image and likeness, it might be easy to say the apostle Paul got excited when he wrote these things.
Apostle Paul was led by the Holy Spirit to write those things.
“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end, Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21
The power is at work in us to transform us into His image and likeness!
