Why does God Bless Us?
Psalms 8:4-6 TPT [4] Why would you bother with puny, mortal man or care about human beings? [5] Yet what honor you have given to men, created only a little lower than Elohim, crowned with glory and magnificence. [6] You have delegated to them rulership over all you have made, with everything under their authority, placing earth itself under the feet of your image-bearers.
Psalms 144:3 TPT [3] Lord, what is it about us that you would even notice us? Why do you even bother with us?
Psalms 144:3 NIV [3] Lord, what are human beings that you care for them, mere mortals that you think of them?
Job 7:17-19 NIV [17] “What is mankind that you make so much of them, that you give them so much attention….
Why does God bless us? Why is God committed to us? Why does He work with us even when we make obvious mistakes, failing many times, and no doubt flawed at times with doing life? Because we are a part of His Kingdom.
4. His Kingdom:
He wants us to be a part of the expansion and growth of His Kingdom. As Christians, we have already been born into His Kingdom. He created mankind to fit perfectly into His Kingdom.
Luke 17:20-21 ‘Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”
20-21 ”Jesus was once asked by the Jewish religious leaders, “When will God’s kingdom come?” Jesus responded, “God’s kingdom does not come simply by obeying principles or waiting for signs. The kingdom is not discovered in one place or another, for God’s kingdom realm is already expanding within some of you.” ‘
The Kingdom is His business, and He created us as family to be included in this business. It is the family’s business. He wants us involved in building the family business. He wants to use you no matter who you are and no matter your past, or what you know or don’t know, and no matter your race or ethnicity. His children are to inherit His Kingdom. He has made us to be co-heirs with His Son.
The mission of Jesus was to save, we as Christians know this, most people on earth have heard this. But looking at elements of a Godly vision, you will also see how much Jesus loved and cared about mankind the same as His Father did, also how much He wanted all to truly see and understand He was a Father, committed to His family. Jesus also wanted all to know about His Fathers Kingdom and to show them how to be a part of this Kingdom.
Just like any good father is to do, He raises up His children in the way they are to go. He sent His Son to show us everything we need to know to be a part of the family business. As mentioned before, we are born into the family business. Everything we learn, as a follower, is meant to be reproduced into all aspects of life around us.
Luke 12:32 ‘So don’t ever be afraid, dearest friends! Your loving Father joyously gives you his kingdom with all its promises!’
Parents are to teach their children right from wrong and as they grow up they imitate their parents. It is no different with God, He is teaching us as Christians to imitate Him as our Father and Jesus as our oldest brother. As we grow Spiritually we automatically learn how to grow the family business. Everywhere we go we represent the Kingdom.
It’s sad but so often many sons and daughters only think of themselves and what they can get out of their Father. They do not care about the family business. Many sons and daughters act entitled and use the Kingdom resources and influence for personal gain. Their mindset is only to think in terms of what they can get out of the Father for their own use. We must remember part of His plan was to raise you up to be a Kingdom builder, taking your rightful place and position in the expansion of the Kingdom. We need to know this Kingdom was designed for us, our birth into this Kingdom was part of the whole picture of life. We are to be responsible for increasing our family’s business.
Matthew 25:31-34 “All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world”.
If we have His Spirit living inside of us then we have everything we need to be a part of His global enterprise which will one day take over the whole earth. His family is everywhere advancing His Kingdom. Throughout the earth we find those of kindred Spirit, Kingdom building men and women. These are those who know it is not about themselves but building the Kingdom into as many they come in contact with. They are part of a global enterprise which encompasses all of life , everywhere they go.
Be a Kingdom builder and ask yourself what you are doing to advance the family business today.
