Jesus spoke about the kingdom of God over a period of forty days in Mark’s upper room. This signifies the importance of the kingdom of God. We must see things in such a way that all things that take place are necessary in establishing the kingdom of God. If we find the great joy of enjoying the kingdom of God, all our problems will turn into joy. How can the kingdom of God be established?
1. God’s time schedule
First, we must see God’s time schedule in order for God’s kingdom to be established. In all things is God’s time schedule. And at an appointed time God fulfills it. It is important to have the eyes to see this time schedule, and there are a few things that we must keep in mind. We must be able to see the rightfulness by which God’s time schedule has no choice but to come and God’s time schedule has no choice but to be fulfilled. And at such times, we must be able to see the inevitability that is needed and the absoluteness that takes place. Once that happens, we will be able to see God’s precise time schedule through all incidents, all works as well as all people that we meet.
2. The kingdom of God
We can wait upon the kingdom of God if we see His time schedule. And for this, we will see the challenges that we need to take up and be able to become considerate of others, as well. It is at this time that the works of the Holy Spirit take place. God will open the door of heaven and send the heavenly army of angels before us, and Satan will be bound wherever we go. This is precisely the kingdom of God. When God’s kingdom is established, we will come to an important conclusion and the works where our surroundings begin to change will take place. And we will live our life as we enjoy the blessing of the throne along with the citizenship of heaven.
3. Method
It will be done only if God’s kingdom is established in our lives. First and foremost, we must see and enjoy the kingdom of God that has been established in us. If we can see this, we will also see the answers that we are to receive and the things that we must do.
