Sept 29 The Power of God’s Word
I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God. – John 3:3(NLT)
WHO CAN SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you looking forward to see God’s kingdom?
Are you free from sin and enjoy freedom?
Are you inclined to be good or remain a sinner?
Do you allow the enemy to lose or be the winner?
Unless you are born again, you cannot see heaven
Abiding in his will makes you one of his children
Be like these little ones who are pure in their spirits
If you live by God’s word, you’ll always want to seek Him.
What does it take to see the kingdom of God? Many believers have many views about this. Even the apostles and disciples of Jesus in their time didn’t comprehend what are the prerequisites to enter the heavenly realm. When Jesus was teaching, some of the children were gathered around him, but some of his disciples where shooing away these little ones. So, Jesus told them that unless they become like these little children, they won’t enter the kingdom of God.
The reply of Jesus to his apostles when they asked how to see the kingdom of God is to be born again. They didn’t realize that Jesus was speaking of being born by the spirit.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to stay pure to see your kingdom.
REFLECTION
When were you born again?
