Kingdom of Heaven

So we know that there is a Kingdom of God and a Kingdom of Heaven. The Kingdom of Heaven is a physical place (Gods Throne) and the Kingdom of God is within us. While we are here we are to manifest the Kingdom of God that is within us. We do this by planting that superior Kingdom while here on the earth through our gifting. 

God left us in charge of the earth (subdue and replenish, Genesis 1:28) and then put a gift in each one of us according to our ability (Matthew 25:15) to get this accomplished. We all have different gifting but they are ALL important and all work together. “There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.“ I Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ 

Your gift is not only to provide for you while you are here on assignment but it’s to draw all men to Him. The goal simply put is to plant the heavens and point to Him. It is no small thing to sit on gifting. Think about the servant with one talent in Matt 25:26. He was called wicked and unproductive, THEN tossed out into the abyss. However the one who had the most was rewarded with even more. 

Make no mistake, you will be responsible for sitting on your gift. Fear is no excuse as we see with the wicked servant. God expects us to BOLDLY share our gifts with the world and each other. He expects us to occupy territory until He returns! He expects us to increase in every way. 

**Here is the CEV version of the parable of the sower. I LOVE it because it puts it in a different perspective. 

”The kingdom is also like what happened when a man went away and put his three servants in charge of all he owned. The man knew what each servant could do. So he handed 5,000 coins to the first servant, 2,000 to the second, and 1,000 to the third. Then he left the country. As soon as the man had gone, the servant with the 5,000 coins used them to earn 5,000 more. The servant who had 2,000 coins did the same with his money and earned 2,000 more. But the servant with 1,000 coins dug a hole and hid his master’s money in the ground. Some time later the master of those servants returned. He called them in and asked what they had done with his money. The servant who had been given 5,000 coins brought them in with the 5,000 that he had earned. He said, “Sir, you gave me 5,000 coins, and I have earned 5,000 more.” “Wonderful!” his master replied. “You are a good and faithful servant. I left you in charge of only a little, but now I will put you in charge of much more. Come and share in my happiness!” Next, the servant who had been given 2,000 coins came in and said, “Sir, you gave me 2,000 coins, and I have earned 2,000 more.” “Wonderful!” his master replied. “You are a good and faithful servant. I left you in charge of only a little, but now I will put you in charge of much more. Come and share in my happiness!” The servant who had been given 1,000 coins then came in and said, “Sir, I know that you are hard to work for. You harvest what you don’t plant and gather crops where you haven’t scattered seed. I was frightened and went out and hid your money in the ground. Here is every single coin!” The master of the servant told him, “You are lazy and good-for-nothing! You know I harvest what I don’t plant and gather crops where I haven’t scattered seed. You could have at least put my money in the bank, so I could have earned interest on it.” Then the master said, “Now your money will be taken away and given to the servant with 10,000 coins! 

📍Everyone who has something will be given more, and they will have more than enough. But everything will be taken from those who don’t have anything. You are a worthless servant, and you will be thrown out into the dark where people will cry and grit their teeth in pain.” Matthew‬ ‭25‬:‭14‬-‭30‬ ‭CEV‬‬
