TOPIC: Rules Of Kingdom Life
READ: Luke 6:24-37
24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
THE MESSAGE:
The Kingdom of heaven belongs to those whose lives are ruled by the Spirit of God. In the Kingdom of God, there are basic rules which serve as guide to the children of the Most High. In today’s text, we are told these rules as follows:
a) Be not rich in evil.
b) Be not satisfied in error.
c) Do not rejoice when all men speak well of you.
d) Love your enemies, bless and curse not, give to the undeserving one without expecting a return.
Be merciful always, judging not, condemning not, always forgiving. If you must be a true and free citizen of the Kingdom then, make Romans 12 your daily focus and guide. Remember, those who keep the rules of a society reap the rights and privileges of the realm.
PRAYER: Lord, help me to be obedient to the rules of the Kingdom, and let Your will be mine. Amen.
