I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.Matthew 16:19 (NIV)
Nor will people say, Look! Here [it is]! or, See, [it is] there! For behold, the Kingdom of God is within you [in your hearts] and among you [surrounding you].Luke 17:20-22 (AMPC)
I recall an incident where I had misplaced a key to some crucial items. In my busyness, I was distracted from what was truly important. Similarly, as His Kingdom people, let us not be encumbered by busyness or succumb to fear. Instead, let us focus on His truths that unlock the treasures to which the impossible is made possible and empowerment to bring transformation and freedom in Christ. Let us live out His Kingdom as His people here on earth.
Loving Father, thank You that through Jesus redemptive sacrifice, we are given the keys of the Kingdom of heaven. Forgive us Lord for the many times we have forgotten this inheritance as Your children, living a life of defeat. Teach us Lord that we may live victoriously through You to reveal Your Kingdom love and glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
