The Kingdom of Heaven has been forcefully Advancing

Mt 11:12

“From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing,

and forceful men lay hold of it.”

There are times  the church of our Lord Jesus is like a hospital, people who are wounded, broken and are sick can come and received healing from the true physician – Jesus. There are times also that the church is like a directional sign that will lead the people who are lost to find their way to the real reason, purpose and meaning of life. And we have to start from this point as a church of Jesus Christ, but after being healed and redirected, we have to understand that the kingdom of God is at war with the philosophy of this world and in the spiritual realm that will try with all their might to destroy God’s plan for His people.

This is the reason why the weak is made strong for the kingdom of heaven is forcefully advancing by those who are willing to go all-out for the gospel; it is not given to those who just wait for it, doing nothing. Not a portion of the kingdom is for a man who does not take hold of it. The kingdom of God is not for men who just keep company with God in favorable conditions and for blessings but are not willing to do his best when being challenge for what he stand for.  

Whether you stay put or move forward, the kingdom of heaven will continue to forcefully advance “and forceful men lay hold of it…” Think of our brothers and sisters in other countries who kept their faith in God to the end, even in the face of death could not destroy their faith. Such a faith came from their strong will to forcefully advance the kingdom of heaven. The kingdom of heaven is forcefully advancing by all who have the positive thought, 'Everything is possible in God.'

Will you go all out for God?

Will you use your Spiritual gift for the advancing of His Kingdom?

Remember God has given opportunities equally to all individuals.
