THE KINGDOM IS ALREADY YOURS
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom (Luke 12:32).

God isn’t holding back anything from you. Jesus said it’s the Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom. That means everything God has, everything He rules over, and everything He’s established as part of His dominion, He has joyfully given to you. This is a present reality. You’re not going to inherit the Kingdom someday; you’ve already been made a partaker of God’s glorious kingdom.

Colossians 1:13 says He has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the Kingdom of His Love-Son. When you were born again, you were born into a Kingdom, a spiritual territory, where Jesus is Lord, and righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost reign. You’re not an outsider but a bona fide citizen of the Kingdom: “Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household” (Ephesians 2:19 NIV). You have rights, privileges and authority in this Kingdom.

Many still live with a religious mentality, thinking they have to qualify for God's best. But the Kingdom is not a reward; it’s an inheritance. An inheritance is not earned; it’s received by birthright or bestowed to you by choice. In Christ, you’re an heir of God and a joint-heir with the Lord Jesus (Romans 8:17). The Kingdom is yours both by right and by divine providence—grace.

Understand your Kingdom identity and reign in life. Speak with authority. Walk in dominion. Dispense favours and blessings. Enforce your victory. Something else that’s so amazing is that not only were you born into the Kingdom when you were born again, the Kingdom was also born in you. The Lord Jesus said in Luke 17:21, “…behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” Therefore, live boldly. Walk like a king. Declare that the Kingdom is yours and function from that position of power and grace. It’s the Father’s pleasure to see you reign.

Prayer / Confession
The Kingdom is mine now! I have been translated into God’s glorious Kingdom, and I live by its power and principles. I walk in righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. I reign in life by Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!
