fulfilling our destiny and that there are those that must be given our lives to christ but do not live for christ all because they fail to understand what it means to live for god what i'm saying is that there are a whole lot of christians who fail to practice their faith in that though they may get to worship services are good and good we've got a good perfect profession but have not followed through with what it is god has called us to be about we have started off will lives doing what they want to do living like those they see on television are movers and shakers and just living their lives for the survival mold of from day to day they fail to conform to the rightness of christ by struggling past they where they have been in their past to come into we're god's calling them to be their president in their future in order that we might realize that this destiny that god has for us to find ourselves sinful for the good of the kingdom of our god we need to understand several things about the kingdom living destiny so that's what we want to talk about today some things that god is looking for each of our lives to feel good all of that we might realize what is our destiny in our role in the kingdom of god god didn't call you out of darkness into the light god  on you to be his servant to be his sons and daughters just for you to come to church on sunday just for you to be able to say that you belong to him just for you to be able and so therefore we will look at three three things today first of all what does it mean to be a part of a kingdom what does it mean to be a part of a kingdom because if you don't know what it means to be a part of the kingdom you will fulfill the role that god has for you to fulfill illustrated bible dictionary says about the kingdom of god he says the kingdom of god is god's rule in earth god's rule in the earth a future period for told by the prophets of the old testament  happiness he's and joy those who live in the kingdom know all the happiness peace and joy this was the main expectation of the old testament prophets about the future to be a part of the kingdom one must understand that there has to be a key you can't have a kingdom without having a king the king is one who sits on the throne and gives evenings of all single ruler you may have advisors but he is the ruler he is the one that makes the decrees he's the one that makes the decisions the monarch wolves and is an autocrat with absolute power over the state and government for example the right to rule by decree policy laws or to make laws to him totals punishments on those who fail to follow through with  when we are understanding kingdom of god and our part in it we have to realize that god is the absolute monarch who rules his kingdom with on top on top autocracy you understand what i'm saying in other words when we consider what it means to be a part of the kingdom of god it implies several things to us first of all we have come to the place where our mindset ha transform asian from where we been in the past and how we thought and how we've lived in our perspective what life in the past to what it is now as a result of us coming into god's kingdom and coming into god's be who's kingdom you're going to be in part because if you choose to be a friend it didn't say that i've been spouse that i am of the world i'm just the friend of the world i have an affinity towards the world he says you make yourself can live with the disposition or understanding of kingdom principles rather than the limitations of earthly existence when we are kingdom minded in other words we have limitations  kingdom of god is greater than the team that was of this earth and that's how many years that you can find a stephen who gives appearing in one place in the scriptures that he was transported to another place or that's why i do is that we can find a jesus that is able to walk on water because of the fact that his mindset is not limited to the realities of this realm of existence because he is from my kingdom to existence and has power over all the powers and all the forces of this arena that we're that we're here where you can't do that if you're functioning with this this earthly might say right you can't do any of those things you can't you can't be those things you can't accomplish those things you see somebody secure and there are there is no deliverance there is no help for them because of the fact that we can see when you see this work that you know you've got to go to the doctors if you're going to get well you got to take medicine there's no room for the supernatural now if a station of the power of god when you're functioning from this whirlwind tower t v i mean you get what i'm saying i mean  don't mind just like everybody else i like to think i'm further down the road than million of us but the reality is that all of us have that battle that we go through to one degree to another and we understand we have a kingdom mindset that that we understand that there is no power greater than the power of the key of our q there's no power greater than the you i wish you could hear what i'm trying to say to you today what i'm saying is that when we come into the younger standing that we're not just down here on earth going to church every now and the end but that we want to and we  keeping the mindset that go on that that we're not there we're here but we are really somewhere else in our thinking and they are acting how one going to be full of the  something's wrong with that picture of some special stuff about it and i think the reality is that a lot of us really don't know who we are but what god is really brought to us and that's why we can be in the club one night and we can be in church the next day and we can act like nothing is wrong because of the fact that we don't really know we who we are or what god has given to us i mean i remember growing up there was some stuff i did that was not right but i sure didn't have my parents more about it you know i didn't do it in the because why i respected them too i didn't want them beat my behind i didn't want to go through what i would go through if they knew i was doing what i was doing i remember i had some friends and we had gone out i was around thirteen years old you know we were living in germany and i was out in the woods we were in the wood smoke and you know him and so i had a cigarette and i hit him in my drawer and i didn't t didn't want i had more respect for you the to do some things in there with how you want to have god welling in you living in you and you can do the best you do with the stuff that you do  possible to hew jesus is basically saying is that when you come into my kingdom and when you come into a kingdom mentality you can say to mount rainier majority of you of barry are automatically came up with that can't happen you know that can't happen that's not possible because of the fact that we're functioning from an earthly mindset or else he was telling the truth not believe he was telling the truth so the problem wasn't with jesus and what he's saying to us the problem is with us and the mindset that we're living with we're is impossible so nothing is impossible with god where do the limitations that come forth in your life come from do they come from god guy doesn't care about you but what's the problem the problem is we haven't come into a key to the mindset where we can appropriate what god has already provided for us you which was also in christ jesus we're going to change our way of thinking we've got to change our mindset you know we can't just go by what we've seen others do or not do in the church throughout the centuries we can't even go by what some of these theologians say because they're functioning from a limited mindset is well we've got to understand what the word sin as and applying appropriate that word to aren't doing it for our walk with god you know order for us to see the manifestation of what god has appropriated provided for us and that is the reality that nothing shall be impossible until you why because understand that god has given us some divine nature god by his spirit has empowered us and that we're doing and must integrate basically means to show forth signs and wonders and miraculous come to the earth to be manifested it takes a whole slew of us who are pro fast to be the children of god we have to have a kingdom i am certain we have and we have to manifest the kingdom in what we say we have to manifest the unger's biblical dictionary in the new testament the word for the lord is curiosity greek it means master or it means supreme one jesus is the supreme one he's the master and it applies to whom he to whom the person or thing belongs so basically it's still saying that we're not our own you know like the scripture says you jesus and when i don't feel like it today well well well i'm tired i don't feel like worshipping how you can do that and then and he owns you do you know what i'm saying  you know sometimes i'm up and i'm busy and i'm doing stuff and it gets later i'm even drift off to sleep sometimes i'm so tired but i know going to happen my scripture is before i go to bed at night and so sometimes it's three o'clock in the morning and i've got to get my scripture reading and i've got to spend time before the lord before i go to sleep because of the fact that that's a commitment that i made to god that i would do that i'm going to follow through with even when i don't feel like doing  master of the house lord of the sabbath all these are terms that are used for the lord as having the power to determine what is suitable to the sabbath releasing himself this partnership with the divine and it ministration look and acts the chapter verse thirty six this is the word which god sent to the children of israel preaching peace by jesus christ your own and you own person and you can do whatever you want to do and you could live the way you want to live and you don't have to give no account to nobody that's why you don't want to be a part of nobody because of the fact you want to do your own  then find yourself busting the hell wide open through all of the scriptures we come to understand if we are truly born again in our life is here and in christ we have accepted the ownership  the lordship of jesus our lives are not our home because we've been bought with the price of the blood of jesus christ how can you say you give your life to jesus and then you live the way you you will how can you say you give your life to jesus and then as soon as things don't go the way you want to go you don't have no praise no more you don't have no joy no more you don't have no no positive disposition anymore the light is  we have time to stand that if he doesn't lower it calls for requirement of our us being subject to his command and coming into this way that's where we get into the word d because the word decidable is one who follows the teaching of his leader and is able to teach others that same doctrine and bring them to the place where they can teach someone else a disciple you know because we're  presented how can we say that we are his disciples i believe that many of us have to question how much we have come to the place where we are truly disciples of christ there's one thing to just come to church on yes to the world because jesus left the earth and so therefore god is empowered us to be able to be that reflection to do the same things he did in greater works than he did so that others may be able to come to know and be assured says he says because as he uses so are we in the world and as jesus is in heaven so are we here in the earth in the world how how can you be like him if you don't know anything about him we spend more time studying all these television programs and all these other things that we've been studying who he is some of us are so caught up in him in christian television even though we can't even come to the place where we don't tease us for ourselves but the reality is we're called to be his disciples to come into his likeness and  make any any any any sense for us to just know that we've got a problem and not solve the problem we've got to get to the place where we do something different than what we've done in the past so really there are three areas that we looked at nineteen chapter verse twelve twenty seven therefore he said a certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom so in other words we're kingdom until he returns we have to understand that our that all of the work that we're called to do is greater than being in a bank or being the lawyer even a doctor being president of the united states we're called to do work for the kingdom of god i didn't make you difference what your profession is or what your job is your first responsibility is to god and his kingdom that's your first responsibility not just second or your third or your fourth that is the first responsibility you're not going to get into the kingdom of heaven because in fact into world bank around because with the present priority has greater then their service to their to their team the good what i'm saying and in many of our lives that's just the case we're caught up with our daily living we're caught up with our jobs were caught up with the responsibility of raising the kids we call them with the responsibility of health peace and this person and that person and all this other stuff and i just don't have no time to serve the lord you love him delegation after him saying we will not have this man to reign over us ok other responses like meeting of us who state that we are not going to have god the rule for us that we want to reign over our own lives you know i want to make my own faith because god gives it to each of us but the question is what are you doing with it how are you using it for his good for his glory to be called to him that he might know how much every man had gained in by treating then came the first saying master your mind i have entered ten minus now remember all of them were given the same amount just might not have given his spirit was freely it is like like there's two spirits you know that he gives the one you he gives one another spirit he gives us all the same spirit but the question is what do you do with what he's given to you and so the first person with his one mind and what he does is he goes out and he really does he goes home wow with that and he learns to or minus  and day he's laboring you know with that moment into being the make it into something that's greater than what he had even going don't belong to him belongs to his master he's working for the good of his master not for his own glory but for  and because of that he was given to cities he goes on at least first when he says and then another came saying master here is the mind of which i have kept and put away in a handkerchief for i feared you because you are an austere or harsh or rough or a region person that's what austere means you know that the rough of harsh or rigid you collect what you did not what you did not deposit in you read what you did not so and he said to him out of your own mouth i will judge you the position of which we near our positions of our judgment here during this listening in the kingdom of god would function in fear  when we function out of the negativity of our own minds for it's all right hinders our ability to be functional and positive bring forth positive results to the good of god's kingdom  perspective of one who gives the owner of this money he wants it to be productive he wants it to bring forth a positive result and so he takes the money from the one and he gives it didn't do nothing with their they wanted the one who did the labor to not been a fit but i couldn't some more minor they wanted him they wanted the master to give it to the ones who were less productive now you tell me that with what he has given us he gives us more and he takes away from those that don't use it you want to know why you've lost it because you haven't been as productive as you should have been for the good of you when you failed to be productive god will take away from you and he will give it to somebody else so in his kingdom some work will be established and feel we need to understand and realize it's not about us it's not about what we want it's not about our so he said to those that stood by he took it from them and so so in verse five and twenty twenty six he says for i say unto you that every one who has will be given to him who does not have even that  how are you being productive for the causes of christ how are you a harvest for for god sake because that's what god is concerned about he's concerned about winning souls he's concerned about his keep them being establi productive in the kingdom there is a negative reaction to our not using what god has given us for the good of the kingdom of god is looking for us to be more productive than just showing up to church on sundays he's looking for us to come into the likeness of christ and manifest the power of the kingdom of god here on earth that those who still walk in the darkness can see the light of god and be transformed into the lightness of on your assignment with god i know that's a hard state but it's a real state god is giving you everything you do you need to be productive and to bring forth a positive fruitful outcome and so what's the problem we have the fullness of god to wellington us he's given us his power he's made us more than conquerors he's known all these things he's given us his word to lead he's given if not could it now what is the message of this passage jesus has given us a message that he's looking for us to bear fruit he's given us time and time and time again to come into the place where we're fruitful but the question is what is the problem why isn't we're not there reading the fruit and so he says i'm going to cut it down he says i'll give you fruitful there's a negative consequences to our lack of productivity with him he has given us everything we need for us to be productive and we are without excuse look fourteen twenty six this man come to me and hate not his father his mother his wife or
