“Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:10)
The word “kingdom is from the Greek word basileia which means royal power, kingship, dominion, and rule. This includes all authority to rule over a kingdom. Almost everyone can quote what we call the Lord’s prayer in its entirety, including some unsaved people. It has become such a routine passage of scriptures used for benedictions and other ceremonial occasions. The in depth passage is a total description of God’s kingdom. When Jesus spoke in parables most of them He started with “The kingdom of God is like.” Most of them were not parables just for the future kingdom like what we think about, especially during the millennium period. He was speaking about God’s kingdom that should be operational and established right here, right now, on earth.
When John the Baptist sent his disciples to inquire if Jesus was the Messiah, Jesus responded by giving him a description of what was happening according to the kingdom of God. John knew the prophecy Isaiah had given to describe the Gospel of the Kingdom that Jesus preached and demonstrated, “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed and qualified me to preach the Gospel of good tidings to the meek, the poor, and afflicted; He has sent me to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the [physical and spiritual] captives and the opening of the prison and of the eyes to those who are bound,” (Isaiah 61:1). He then knew the message that he gave as forerunner had come to pass, “the kingdom of God is at hand!” When we receive the power of the Holy Spirit according to Acts 1:8, we should also be operating and preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. We should be moving under the power of the Holy Spirit moving in the supernatural. Let’s really demonstrate what Matthew says and start establishing God’s Kingdom.
Every time a kingdom moves into or invades a place, the first thing a king does He establishes His own supremacy. – Apostle Renny Mclean
