The Bible compares the Kingdom of God is to being like
Ten virgins who took their lamps to meet their Husband.
This story is about being dressed, ready, prepared, supplied, rested, knowledgeable, having wisdom and understanding, and being timely. Its more than being the proverbs 31 woman its about being a woman after God's own heart first before pursuing a marital relationship. To understand that you are the light in the darkness and your lamp does not go out yet there is light throughout your whole body if the eyes have light so do you. To remember that God will be the lamp to your feet and guide your steps even your precepts, even foresight.
Having justice, mercy, and faithfulness is the perfect recipe for a successful lifestyle geared towards God.
The Bible tells us what is required of us to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. It is simply as being the vessel that shares the good news. Its as simple as being the light in the darkness and shining your lights before men that they may become like God. That your likeness in God may be revealed and the Holy Spirit may dwell in them also.
The great mystery of the kingdom of God is a matter of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17-19) It is a matter of the heart and the Holy Spirit resting upon you. Well how do I get this type of power so I can gain access to the kingdom of God many people may ask. Acts 1:8 says you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. To gain the Holy Spirit is to be born of water and of the spirit.
To be born of water and of the spirit may be similar to a blood cleanse, a water fast, a renewing of the mind, a renewing of the heart, a renewing of the attitude. This may require a lifestyle change, a dialogue shift, and a total transformation geared towards Christ. It is choosing to live your life and dedicate everything you do for God. Living a life honoring God and His righteousness.
The Bible tells us that where your heart is, there your treasure will be also. Therefore may we intentionally store up treasures of love. The Bible also notes that your words are stored up in your heart. Therefore we must be aware of the types of treasure we are storing in our hearts. We must be aware of the words, thoughts, memories, images, and hopes that we are storing in our hearts and be sure we are filling up our hearts with the word of God that our hearts may not be hardened like pharaoh's heart that we may be pure hearted enough to do the will of our father faithfully.
Take up your cross daily and follow God. Cross out the drama in your life, cross out the complaining, cross out the doubt, cross out all limitations and follow God. Take discipline, take courage, take faith, overflow with joy, embody love, cultivate mercy, and treasure every good thing.
Seek God daily and all his righteousness and more will be added unto you.
Wake up with positive thoughts being grateful for as many things as possible
Worship God with your words, breath, and everything that you do.
Fill up your day with plans to do what God has placed it on your heart to do.
The Kingdom of God is like walking and not being faint, running and not growing weary yet instead soaring on wings like an eagle and seeing the glory of God, being the glory of God made in Gods image!
