KINGDOM CULTURE

KINGDOM CULTURE

2 Peter 1:10-11 (KJV)
"Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ."

Jesus said, “…many are called, but few are chosen.” It all boils down to being teachable. As Jesus said, few step into their election (chosen, elected) because they cannot or will not be taught. Jesus also said, “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me.”

Kingdom culture begins with the wiliness to be taught, eagerness to be taught. If we already know what we want to know we cannot know any more than we do. Being a disciple of Christ begins with submission to Jesus and it continues with submission. Learning Jesus is inexhaustible; we can never learn all we need to know as believers individually or corporately.

Consequently, exploration in the kingdom of our God is not limited by institutional paradigms. This exist not to aggravate leaders of institutions or to even challenge authority afforded to them and their positions in the institutions. It exist to keep both leadership and those being led in check to the Cross and Kingdom culture.

We cannot negate the freedom afforded to us when the hinges swing open wide “into” the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It is a freedom afforded only to those willing to be taught, afforded to those with a holy violence of siding against themselves for  Jesus sake and the Kingdom’s sake; “…the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force” (Matthew 11:12 KJV). “Many are called, but few are chosen” (Jesus).
