The Offence of the Cross in Us vs. Kingdom.

ከሕይወት ዛፍ እንዲበላ እሰጠዋለሁ! I give to eat of the tree of life! 4/25/2018 Bro. Bini.

If you are truly of the church of God or Overcomer[He that hath an ear to hear what the Spirit saith is Overcomer.] and being called and chosen and faithful unto the end, then would you not believe that the kingdom of God is within you…now even more you are the kingdom of God .

የዮሐንስ ራእይ 2/7 መንፈስ ለአብያተ ክርስቲያናት የሚለውን ጆሮ ያለው ይስማ። ድል ለነሣው በእግዚአብሔር ገነት ካለው ከሕይወት ዛፍ እንዲበላ እሰጠዋለሁ።

Rev 2/7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

የዮሐንስ ራእይ 3/21 እኔ ደግሞ ድል እንደ ነሣሁ ከአባቴም ጋር በዙፋኑ ላይ እንደተቀመጥሁ፥ ድል ለነሣው ከእኔ ጋር በዙፋኔ ላይ ይቀመጥ ዘንድ እሰጠዋለሁ።

Rev 3/21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

የዮሐንስ ራእይ 5/9-10 መጽሐፉን ትወስድ ዘንድ ማኅተሞቹንም ትፈታ ዘንድ ይገባሃል፥ ታርደሃልና፥ በደምህም ለእግዚአብሔር ከነገድ ሁሉ ከቋንቋም ሁሉ ከወገንም ሁሉ ከሕዝብም ሁሉ ሰዎችን ዋጅተህ ለአምላካችን መንግሥትና ካህናት ይሆኑ ዘንድ አደረግሃቸው፥ በምድርም ላይ ይነግሣሉ እያሉ አዲስን ቅኔ ይዘምራሉ።

Rev 5/9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

It’s all about “Not I, but Christ!”  So what is the kingdom? We are God’s kings and priests, We are the kingdom of priests, and an holy nation, We are the kingdom of God. We are the kingdom of the heavens. Where does God reside? In heaven. God resides in heaven, but it is not called the kingdom of heaven in the Greek, you can check all those, it’s kingdom of the heavens, plural. We are the temple of God. God resides in His temple God resides in heaven. We are the heaven in which God resides, where He dwells. But don’t get to haughty, because the Scriptures say, not even all the heaven of the heavens can contain Him.

 

2Chron 6:18  …Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You.  How much less this temple which I have built!

The Word was God, and the Word was made flesh, a child was born but that child is not only a child he is the mighty God, also that child is not only a child he is the everlasting Father, Father is a Spirit and now the child return to the Father glorify with his own self the glory which he had before the world was. He ascended up far above all heavens, he fill all things and all heavens. Eph 4:10

But never the less it is true, He does dwell in the heavens. But they can’t even contain Him, He’s bigger than that. But He does dwell in His heavens, we are His heavens, we are His spiritual kingdom. But it does not yet appear what we shall be, we only have the earnest, down payment of His spirit.

Eph 1:13 In whom [Him] ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Eph 1:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Luk 17:20 And when he[Christ] 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: 
Luk 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

Was not the suffering that Jesus went through for His kingdom, the offence of the cross in us is all the church [elect] the same suffering that we must all go through in being crucified with Him daily?(Joh 6:63…the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit…) Does not being seized and pressed daily by virtue of dying to self from the fire, living for the Christ, cause one to be drawn[dragged] violently away from ones own ‘self-righteous’ evil ways?

By dying to self we will suffer the same suffering needed to be seized and pressed…in suffering for Him…by the killing of that beast within. to become Overcomer to get the reward of the tree of life and to eat it, now, by the dying of our old man adam, and the putting on the new man, that is [Christ in us], thus bearing the fruit that leads to aionion life, which is His Spiritual fruit in us…now. If you are Overcomer guarantee to eat of the tree of life.

Mat 12:33  Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

Joh 12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

Php 1:29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

Gal 2:20 I am crucified with Christ:nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God,

Luk 18:16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

1Co 3:15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

1Jn 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment[condemnation]: because as he is, so are we in this world.

We become that new man in Christ  when we learn obedience, by the things which we suffer, unto salvation.

Heb 5:8  Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 
Heb 5:9  And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

because we can now…

Col 1:24 …rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church:

What is the symbolism of how Christ returns? He returns on, what is He riding? A white horse. Is anybody with Him? An army. Are they walking? They are riding on white horses too.

Rev 19:14  And the armies in Heaven followed Him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

What is the kingdom of God? IT’S US! We are continuously coming with Him and he with us, He is gathering US up. Gathering up what? His army, His kingdom! Bro. Bini.
