The amazing thing is that even when we make the dumbest mistake, the heavenly Father still loves the repentant sinner. We would rather run into the arms of an angry God than turn away from Him. Isaiah 57:14-21.

Proverbs 1:22-33 depicts the plight of those who choose to ignore godly wisdom. I am sure we can all identify with the two positions mentioned in that portion of scripture. May we be encouraged to choose wisely. May the Lord help us.

Then there is the extreme we should guard against. In 1 Kings 21:1-24, an innocent man loses his life and inheritance due to the greed of a king. What is it that may push us to such extremes? We should be careful and also have others who can hold us accountable.

If mortal things are the primary focus of our life on earth, then we may just miss the Messiah just like the Jews did in John 10:22-42. May our primary focus be the immortal or eternity. That will help us escape corruption & many vices.

Greed leads one to even break the law in order to acquire wealth or possessions. Many of the murders being committed countrywide are motivated by greed for material wealth. Proverbs 1:19 warns against this. If the desire to acquire something by any means consumes you, be careful.

One of the things that hinder or slow down the establishment of God’s kingdom in our hearts and midst is greed. Our inability to be content even where we want to be ambitious may lead us away from God’s will. There is a fine line there, but it exists. May the Lord help us. Luke 12:13-21.

If we are to aspire to be part of those used by God to establish His kingdom here, we ought to consider a few things. Are there traditions that we hold on to more dearly than the fear of the Lord, that do not honour God, that contradict His word? Mark 7:5-13.

The work of God on the hearts of men (the establishment of God’s kingdom) is continuous. The extent of its impact depends on the willingness of man. As we walk this journey of life, let’s allow the fear of God to guide us. As we do that, we shall keep growing and His kingdom will grow & be dominant. Psalm 103.

In Luke 17:20-21, the Pharisees asked when the kingdom of God would come, not knowing that it had already arrived. It begins with the work of the Holy Spirit in people’s lives and in relationships. Let us resist looking at institutions or programmes for evidence of the progress of God’s kingdom. Instead, we should look at what God is doing in people’s hearts.

The establishment of God’s kingdom is a process that probably started with the coming of the Messiah over 2000 years ago- Matthew 2:1-2. It is mentioned severally in the old testament because of its significance-Micah 5:2. It demonstrates God’s love through what Christ and His disciples did while one earth-Luke 10:17-24. It will culminate in His rulership when He returns Revelation 11:15-19. May we allow Him to use us to have the impact He desires towards its establishment.
