Kingdom Citizenship

God created us to rule and have dominion over the earth.

Psalm 103:19 (New International Version) 
¹⁹The Lord has established his throne in heaven,
and his kingdom rules over all.

The Kingdom of Heaven:
Sovereign そうーあぼあん ruler-ship and governing authority, it is the divine/kingly authority of a king over His territory.

★ In a Kingdom, the king impacts his territory with His will ★

The Kingdom of God:
The Kingdom of Heaven is God's Throne in the  3rd Heaven.
It is an Invisible kingdom, manifesting (God's) attributes and character through His children.

Luke 17:20, 21 (King James Version) 

²⁰ And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
²¹ Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

The Kingdom of Man:
It is literately the Kingdom of this World, which is dominated and influenced by Satan!
It was devised by Satan.
It is Governed by Satan which he was made to rule it through the fall of mankind.
★ the original Greek word for "world" is kosmos which means: worldly system ★
It is the system of the world which is influenced and controlled by Satan.
★ Satan/demons travel throughout the 1st and 2nd Heavens, and the World with a 3 fold assignment to steal kill and destroy! ★
In the beginning, Adam was the first citizen in the Kingdom.
The Earth was governed by the King (Adam), He was made in the image of God, God gave Adam dominion. He was charged by God to be a ruler,  God gave Adam delegated authority in all things and the kingdom of this world was under Adam's territory.
But as we learned in Genesis, Adam lost his authority when he fell into temptation.
Thus allowing satan to take over the World.

John 1:12 (AMP)
¹² But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name—

John 1:12 (New Living Translation)
¹² But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.
 

★ Only those who become the children/son's of God can become a citizen of the Kingdom. ★


"Jesus Christ is the king and we are the citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven."
