The Keys of the Kingdom









"And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations. He shall rule them with a rod of iron; They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter's vessels as I also have received from My Father; and I will give him the morning star.” (Rev.2:26-28)

Citizens have been desperately yearning for change in their nations. Certainly, it should never be another fraudster. Except the believers resumed their place of authority according to the teaching of the Holy Bible; leadership of trickery and illusion will continue to have the upper hand in oppressing the masses.

Another aspect of disenchantment and terrible fear among the citizenry is the endless calamities, terrorism, protests, threats to lives and properties and disasters and the like are frequently caused by human nature. There is never a human government upon the face of planet earth that can redeem nations from all these, except the believers distinguished themselves as the Spirit equipped Daniel. 

"Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king gave thought to setting him over the whole realm." (Dan.6:3)

Having easy access into the kingdom of heaven requires the appropriate keys. No one gives the keys except the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. But one had to be qualified to become the key recipient.  

“Simon Peter answered and said, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God…’ And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."(Mt.16:16, 19)

Until we know who Christ Jesus truly is, we will never talk of Him as the Son of the living God. It is only by the enabling of the Holy Spirit that we can declare Jesus as the Son of God. That is what qualifies us to receive the keys of the kingdom of heaven.
  ‘Oh Lord, let me know my place in You and Your kingdom, so that I can restore the dignity of Your Rule on earth and rescue the creation from oppression by the power of Your Holy Spirit in the Name of Jesus. Amen!’
