Walking In the Kingdom Reality

1 Corinthians 15:50-51 (NET) Now this is what I am saying, brothers and sisters: Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
Listen, I will tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed

While Jide was a freshman in college, he joined a frat group that had roots in occultism. He eventually got interested in Satanism and witchcraft. His study of sorcery quickly made him realize that there was no way a human being could overcome the powers of darkness with his willpower. This was only possible by a higher power than the power of darkness. So when he saw Brian delivered from the many demonic bondages that he was under before he believed, he knew that the power of Christ could do anything, including the resurrection of the dead into the kind of body that can inherit such a kingdom that can wield such power. This was what the preacher taught when Jide accepted the Lord Jesus.

It is clear from today’s verses that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. There is a resurrection body that believers would receive that would enable us to walk fully in the realities and power of the kingdom of God. But while we are still in this body of flesh, we can only walk in certain realities of the kingdom if we walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh.

The more we walk in the Spirit, the more we would be able to walk in the reality and power of the kingdom. Walking in the flesh hinders this from happening.

Go into today remembering that the way to walk in the reality and power of God’s kingdom is to humble yourself, walk in the Spirit and not gratify the lusts of the flesh.

Prayer: Father, please help me from this day walk in a higher level of your kingdom power and glory. Deliver me from all hindrances, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
