The Kingdom - A kingdom is a governing influence of a King over his territory impacting it with his will, his purpose and intent. Producing a citizenry ofpeople who express his culture and reflect his nature.
- Myles Monroe - “Rediscovering the Kingdom”
If the Kingdom is about impacting a territory with his will, his purpose and intent. We know there is a purpose within the Kingdom.
God is a God of purpose and intentionality. - Our purpose ultimately is to be a part of fulfilling HIS purpose. Not our Kingdom but His.
Jesus came to turn the world upside down. Disciples went about turning the world upside down - Paul and Silas were just walking in Kingdom purpose.
Acts 17:6 - “...These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also”
TO UNDERSTAND YOUR KINGDOM PURPOSE YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND:
1. YOU ARE AN AMBASSADOR OF THE KING
2 Corinthians 5:20 ESV
The Kingdom of God is seen in and through the ambassadors of the King. As an ambassador you carry the Kingdom with you.
Luke 17:21 ESV
Characteristics of an Ambassador
• Represent the kingdom to foreign territories
• Committed only to the interests of the state or Kingdom
• An ambassador’s goal is to influence the territory for the kingdom he represents
• Ambassadors maintain connection and communication with the king
• Never speaks his personal position on any issue, only his nations official position
2. YOUR KINGDOM PURPOSE COMES WITH KINGDOM ASSIGNMENTS
Our lives have a purpose and multiple assignments within that purpose.
An ambassador carries out assignments from the kingdom
To receive assignments we have to maintain connection & communication with the King
Importance of having daily time with God. Allowing the Holy Spirit to relay any information He needs to relay for our purpose and assignments.
John 16:13 ESV
Daily, seasonal, lifetime. - Assignments keep us on mission for our purpose.
3. YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO FULFILL YOUR KINGDOM PURPOSE
You were created on purpose, for a purpose. Your very existence is proof that God still has purpose and assignments for your life.
Ephesians 2:10 ESV
- Every way God made you is intentional. Your height...your gifts...your family...your time in history...where you live...every part of you even your past.
Romans 8:28 ESV
4. YOUR AVAILABILITY OPENS DOORS TO FULFILL YOUR KINGDOM PURPOSE
Your best ability is availability. What keeps us from being available? Distractions.
Ephesians 5:15-17 NLT
• If you don’t have a plan for your time - Someone else does.
• You might need to make a not-to-do list
• For everything you say yes to....you’re saying no to something as well.
Assignments come to those who are available. Available to hear, respond and act.
Samuel heard & responded “Here am I” - Isaiah heard the Lord “who will I send?” - “Here am I” - Ananias “Here I am”
Who is waiting on you to fulfill an assignment to walking in their purpose? - Our Kingdom purpose and assignments are tied to someone else’s Kingdom purpose and assignments.
Acts of the Apostles 20:24 NLT
Much of the frustration, pain, anxiousness and emptiness of life...are caused by a life that is not aligned with kingdom purpose.
You will never be fulfilled in this life, until you’re walking in Kingdom Purpose.
You are an ambassador of the King - you represent the King
You have assignments within your kingdom purpose - From the King through the Holy Spirit You already have what you need to fulfill your kingdom purpose
He’s just asking you to be available.
