# What the heirs of the kingdom must know and understand at this present time.


Good day beloved, Following our discussion yesterday, I told us that the purpose or the mind of God for his elect is not just that they'll just live to make heaven, its much bigger that that, expecting or working to make heaven without understanding God's own burden and what he want you to accomplished in the body of Christ is total selfishness, and if a man say he/she is trying to be good in other to make heaven, then it means that he or she is merely engaged in works, not in love.


Before we go further today, i guess you may also like to read through the previous discussions and other related topics, please follow the links bellow.

We’re not talking about works, what am talking about is not works, what am talking about is understanding, for example; when you wake up in the morning and set out to do some certain things everyday like going to market to buy food stuff, that’s your constant natural schedule, it’s not works, you understand that eating is necessary for your sustenance, so you cannot say that going to the market to buy food stuff is works. You have an understanding that this is part of what you need to do in order to sustain yourself; now when you understand what the body is all about, it goes beyond works, it becomes love.


It is only love that can enable you to do anything for the body, Jesus Christ died for the body out of love, knowing that this is God’s, and you love that which is God’s, with your whole heart, and you want to see to it that this building which God is desiring to inhabit is established.


Then it’s no more works, rather you’ve seen a necessity, a program and an agenda of God which is also beneficial to you and you want to be a part of that agenda, like the Bible talks about Christ in Ephesians 5:29
For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 

when you now understand that that your neighbor is also part of that Gods building because Gods building is not only you, as a matter of fact; if you’re only concerned about making it alone then you can never build with a sustainable materials just like in accordance with what we read.

The day you understand that the kingdom of God is not you, then you’re set to start the journey, the kingdom of God is a group, for long now, men has been possessed by self which is why love has be thrown away. You must understand that the body or the kingdom of God is that group of believers that God is going to inhabit as one! And then you’re able to love, you’re not loving your wife because of that general understanding of love among men of this world, rather you’re loving your wife because your wife is part and parcel of that kingdom and that body of Christ, it’s not a carnal thing.


Let me say something to you; until you’re able to understand that without the body, without that your neighbor, there is no you! In other words, if you’re talking about the kingdom, it can not be about you, the only reason why you have a chance and opportunity for God to inhabit you is because of that your neighbor, without your neighbor you’re nothing. Let me say it again; THERE IS NO YOU WITHOUT YOUR NEIGHBOR! Yes, because the body of Christ is not you, that’s why it was instructed that this is the relationship between the church and Christ not about husband and wife thing. Yet some so called bishops are using that place to organize marriage seminars and think that they’re discoursing Bible and word of God when they can’t even understand what God is saying.

Until you can relate the word of God  to the kingdom; what God is saying, if you can not relate them to the kingdom, you’re off course. There is something that the spirit of God is trying to let us know about the kingdom of God each time we gaze into his word, but that’s the problem and difficulties that we have, because we always water down the word of God to begin to talk about self and worldly things. You need to understand and to see it clearly, so when the Bible say, who is your neighbor?  then you understand who your neighbor is, your neighbor is the one who made it possible for you to have an opportunity for God to inhabit you.

If you can see your neighbor that way, then is there any reason why you shouldn’t love your neighbor?
It means that if you’re not loving your neighbor then you intentionally made up your mind not to inherit the kingdom of God and his life, you have to understand the seriousness of everything about this body of Christ. That’s why he was warning so that anyone who must build upon that foundation Jesus Christ to be very carefully of the material that he is using to build because it’s a very serious matter.

When you understand how critical your neighbor is to your salvation as it were, you’ll seat up, sometimes we don’t reason well, probably because of how the world has taking a grip on us, if running a race is just an individual thing then why are we preaching and making effort to spreed the good news, why is there gathering of the saints? It’s not about your own thing and that’s why God wants you or demands that you must discern the body.

God bless you beloved! More grace.
