Kingdom enforcers

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,” 
Matthew 28:19(KJV)

The Church has been given the responsibility to enforce the kingdom of God in the earth. What does it mean to enforce? To enforce means to make a law or rule active or effective.  Secondly, to enforce is to make sure people do what is required by the law. Also to enforce is to make something happen.

From the above, it means that the Church ought to take the elements and principles of the kingdom of God and get them into the affairs of men. We have a responsibility to see that the culture of our kingdom spreads.

This is why we teach that it is wrong for a married man to sleep with a woman outside of his marriage, because it is against kingdom culture, the Bible calls it adultery so he has to stop it. We also teach that it is wrong for someone to sleep with anyone outside of marriage, the Bible calls it fornication and it is against kingdom culture. The Bible says in 1Corinthians 6:13, “…Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.” Therefore, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says, “…your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. ”

Taking anything that is not yours either by deceit, secretly or by force is wrong, the Bible calls it stealing and it is against kingdom culture. The Bible says in Ephesians 4:28, “Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.” Therefore, the Bible says in Colossians 3:17, “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.”

PRAYER
Dear Father I thank you for you are at work in me both to will and to do of your good pleasure always in Jesus Name.

For further study read:
Romans 2:1-29, Ephesians 4:17-24, Philippians 4:8-9.

DOING THE WORD
Consciously express kingdom culture in your daily lifestyle even as you teach others to do the same.
