The Nine Stage Life Cycle the Kingdom Key of Life & Death


READ | I Peter 2:19-25

“Jesus’ experiences provide us with an example; therefore, we are to

follow in his footsteps (I Peter 2:21).”

Jesus is our Wayshower, our example of what it means to be fully human and fully divine. Jesus can relate to every part of our divine and human experience. He was tempted in all points like as we are yet without sin (Hebrews 4:15). How we see ourselves and others often depends on where we start the story of our lives.

The Church focuses on Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection and calls it the gospel. However, beginning with death is like starting a book in the middle of the story. The Church has this awful habit of beginning in the middle and missing the full perspective. The Kingdom embraces the whole of the life cycle, not just a part of it. The Kingdom teaches that Jesus was an example to us throughout his entire process: his pre-existence with God before the foundation of the world, birth, early life, ministry, death, burial, resurrection, ascension, intercession, and Second Coming (I Timothy 3:16).

Another example of this is with the first Adam. The Church begins with Adam sinned and all the things that happened because of him missing the mark and eating of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 3:6). The Kingdom begins with Adam walking with God and the intelligence that he had to name all the animals of the land, fish of the sea, and birds of the air (Genesis 2:19). It is completely up to you where you start your story. You can begin with your oneness with God and your perfection, or you can start with the sin and separation.

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory. Why am I experiencing this persecution, this headache, this pain? So, God can get the glory. Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization? So God can get the...

There’s a Grace on Your Life

  There’s a Grace on Your Life "By grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God."    Ephesians 2:8 (KSB)    In Ephesians chapter 2, one word stands out repeatedly: grace . But what is grace? Grace is God’s unmerited favor, His love poured out on us, not based on anything we've done or failed to do. It’s not about what we think or don’t think. It’s simply a gift. A beautiful, divine surprise.  Imagine receiving an unexpected bonus at work, you did your job, and suddenly you're given more than you earned. That’s grace. It comes when you least expect it and fills you with joy and wonder. This is how God extends His grace freely, abundantly, and lovingly.  Throughout Ephesians 2, Paul highlights how grace is woven into our salvation. “By grace you are saved” means you didn’t do it yourself. Salvation is the awakening in your spirit to the truth that  you are God's beloved .   ...

You Are in God’s Will: How to Receive Your Divine Inheritance

  You Are in God’s Will: How to Receive Your Divine Inheritance "In whom also we have obtained an inheritance because we were predestined according to the purpose of God, who works all things after the counsel of Divine Will."  Ephesians 1:11    Affirmation: My health is optimal because it’s God’s will that all of my relationships are harmonious.                                                    Ephesians 1:11 reminds us that we have obtained an inheritance through Christ. If earthly parents and grandparents can leave behind an inheritance of tangible and intangible value land, homes, recipes, wisdom, or even prayer, how much greater is the inheritance from our heavenly Father?  An inheritance implies that someone thought of you before their passing, made intentional plans, and had a desire for your future. Similarly,...
