THE MESSAGE OF GOD\'S KINGDOM IN THIS GENERATION By Major Frank Materu
Introduction
In this generation, God desires the truth of His Kingdom to be proclaimed, so that people may be drawn to Him. Over the years, many deceptive narratives and myths have distorted His truth. However, God is calling His people to seek His ways and deliver His message of truth. This is the hour where the distinction between true followers and hypocrites will be revealed. Those who seek Him in spirit and truth will be set apart as His spiritual army.
The Kingdom of God is not about religion but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17). Many profess religion but lack righteousness. God is now raising a generation of spiritual people, ready to walk in His ways, free from the chains of man-made doctrines.
1. The Call to Seek God’s Ways
"But seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." (Matthew 6:33)
God’s desire is for His people to pursue His ways, not the traditions or systems created by man. Many religious systems have enslaved His people, but this is the time to break free and walk fully in His truth.
- Key Point: Religion often misleads, but God calls for a relationship.
- Supportive Scripture: "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free." (John 8:32)
2. The Separation of the Righteous from Hypocrites
"Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time, I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn." (Matthew 13:30)
God is separating His beloved people from hypocrites. Hypocrisy and wickedness will be exposed, while His righteousness, mercy, and justice will be evident. This generation is being purified and equipped to carry out His divine mission.
- Key Point: God will expose falsehood and establish His truth.
- Supportive Scripture: "The Lord knows those who are His." (2 Timothy 2:19)
3. The Rise of a Spiritual Army
"They will march like warriors; they will scale walls like soldiers. They all march in line, not swerving from their course." (Joel 2:7)
God is raising a spiritual generation—a mighty army that will walk in His power and authority. This army will carry the revelation of His Kingdom and engage in spiritual warfare, dismantling the works of darkness.
- Key Point: The spiritual army is equipped with heavenly weapons.
- Supportive Scripture: "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds." (2 Corinthians 10:4)
4. Overcoming Opposition with God’s Word
"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me." (Matthew 5:11)
The Word of God is a stumbling block to those who oppose Him. As bearers of His truth, His people will face opposition and persecution, yet they must remain steadfast. The enemy’s curses cannot nullify God’s blessings.
- Key Point: Do not fear opposition; victory is assured.
- Supportive Scripture: "No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you." (Isaiah 54:17)
5. Breaking the Chains of Falsehood
"Then Jesus said to His disciples, ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.’" (Matthew 16:24)
This generation is called to reject falsehood and embrace God’s truth. The structures that have enslaved God’s people will crumble as they walk in freedom, empowered by the Holy Spirit.
- Key Point: Freedom comes through submission to God.
- Supportive Scripture: "If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." (John 8:36)
Summary
God is shaking this generation, exposing falsehood, and raising a spiritual army to advance His Kingdom. This is the hour to seek His truth, walk in His ways, and stand firm against opposition. As His Word is proclaimed, it will bring freedom, power, and transformation to His people.
Conclusion
This is the time for God’s people to rise and fulfill their divine calling. God is leading His chosen ones into a deeper relationship with Him, free from religious bondage, to walk in the fullness of His Kingdom. As we face opposition, we must remain steadfast, knowing that the Lord is with us. Let us answer His call to be His spiritual army, proclaiming His truth to the ends of the earth.
"The Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the gospel." (Mark 1:15)
