In the last episode of this spiritual discussion, I emphasized that whoever doesn't have the gospel of the kingdom or Christo message inbuilt in him cannot withstand the end and will not be able to handle the emerging kingdom efficiently. This is the absolute truth because what can deal with things to come are "news" of the kingdom of Christ. These are things that are indeed news because it's from Him who has spoiled principalities and powers. Dear believers of the Way, it should be noted that what we are listening to in mainstream media is not what God expect us to concentrate on. Most of us know what is going on in our world 24/7 (which is good), but there's a better newscasting from the heavens which is the gospel of the Kingdom. Let's reason spiritually and compare the natural with the spiritual. If we consider the news and information from media outlets as important, and we monitor CNN, AL Jazeera, and Euronews just to know what's going on in our sphere; how much more the news coming out of the heavens for us to know what we Ecclesians are supposed to do in latter times and the way of escape from the system of this present age? The gospel of the Kingdom brings to us what we should do in a particular season on the earth like the sons of Issachar.
Now, look around you and ask yourself this question: how many are really listening or gaining access to the news of the Kingdom (which is the gospel)? Check the gathering of the saints and calculate how many of are listening to the gospel of the Kingdom... What are they listening to? It's simple: the strategies of this evil age, making them at par (or lesser) with the children of this world. We need to listen to the news of our own world. We people of the Way need to thirst after our Kingdom and not the Kingdom of this age that is meant for destruction. Preaching the good news is administering the gospel that is meant for our souls. Reveal this gospel to the saints, and you are showing them their world; a fish do well in water bodies. The gospel of the kingdom is actually preaching the world to come, and revealing the world of Truth.
After all these, the question remains: how does the gospel of the Kingdom relates or will bring about the end? I think we've answered this question so far in the three episodic discussions of this topic. It's simple: preaching the gospel of the Kingdom is calling out the Kingdom of Christ out of its realm to ours. The more we reveal and preach this gospel, we are weakening the kingdom of this world. Remember Nebuchadnezzar's dream of the enormous stone?
That's exactly what will happen in due time, but if we fail to administer this gospel, we won't bring about the end. In a nutshell, we Ecclesians are the ones delaying the coming of Christ and the end. I hope you now understand what it entails and why unveiling the gospel of the Kingdom is important. Let's encourage one another to get prepared, for the end is now. As you partake of earthly things, remember to partake of heavenly things in maximum fold. Prepare for the coming gospel. Amen.
