5 catalyst principles of the kingdom for christian believers to live victorious
1 – “And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
2 – And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 – Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 – Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 – Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 – Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 – Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 – Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 – Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 – Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 – Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 – Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13 – Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 – Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 – Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 – Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17 – Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 – For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 – Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 – For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.” (Mathew chapter 5 verses 1 to 20)
1. THE PRINCIPLE OF FORGIVENESS:
This principle is hinged upon one primary premise: If you extend Mercy to others, you will receive mercy from where it counts:
21 – “Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22 – Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
23 – Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
24 – And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
25 – But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26 – The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
27 – Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
28 – But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
29 – And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
30 – And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
31 – So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
32 – Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
33 – Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
34 – And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
35 – So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.” (Mathew chapter 18 verses 21 to 35)
The Lord Jesus is abundantly clear in the above scripture; If you do not forgive others from your heart as you have been forgiven, you will never receive forgiveness yourself. This Principle is best applied to our lives whenever we get offended.
“Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.” (Luke chapter 7 verses 47)
Remembering that we have been forgiven much reminds us to forgive others, releasing them from the offences they have caused us. Never forget that the Kingdom Life is fueled by Kingdom principles.
2. THE PRINCIPLE OF GENEROSITY:
This Principle is very straightforward and simple, provoking the law of cause and effect.
“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” (Luke chapter 6 verses 38)
If we can reach a place where we become conduits of God’s Blessings, we would experience blessings like never before. If we can only allow His resources such as money and time flow freely through our hands, we would definitely reap a great harvest of blessings in our lives.
3. THE PRINCIPLE OF FAITH:
Everything under the Sun is established, created, authored, and perfected through Jesus right from the Beginning of Time.
1 – “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 – The same was in the beginning with God.
3 – All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” (John chapter 1 verses 1 to 3)
We must learn to trust God by trusting His Word and Promises.
4. THE PRINCIPLE OF PATIENCE:
This particular Principle was established and displayed at the very Beginning of Time through God’s Own Creative Process and is a Characteristic of God Himself.
22 – But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 – Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” (Galatians chapter 5 verses 22 to 23)
He meticulously crafted and skillfully put everything in its place one by one, causing Light to shine out of darkness. Throughout the entire Biblical and historical account of Israel, God displays and teaches Patience, demonstrating that.
“Good planning and hard work lead to Prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.” (Proverbs chapter 21 verses 5).
5. THE PRINCIPLE OF PRAISE:
This Principle reminds us that God inhabits the Praises of His people.
“But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.” (Psalms chapter 22 verses 3)
His Promise to never abandon us is captured in our Praise of and Thanksgiving to Him. Praise caused the walls of Jericho to fall down flat.
“So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.” (Joshua chapter 6 verses 20)
Even Apostle Paul and Silas caused a severe earthquake that set the stage for a jailbreak as a result of their Prayer and Praise.
25 – “And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
26 – And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.” (Acts chapter 16 verses 25 to 26)
Praising God causes our bonds to be loosed and guarantees that we who are bound are set free.
Conclusion:
These aforementioned Kingdom principles have their root in Matthew 6:33, which says,
“But seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness and all these things will be added to you.”
It is only when we practice these principles that we can know and begin to fully comprehend the abundant life made available to us in Christ Jesus. Unto the Great and Mighty God do we ascribe all the glory forever and ever.
