Presentation transcript:

Work and God’s Eternal Purpose I. God wants His kingdom to come on earth as it is in heaven. A. Jesus instructed us to pray that His Kingdom come and His will be done (Mt. 6:10).

B. His kingdom coming starts with believers themselves. 1. We must enter the kingdom ourselves through the new birth. We must: a. Repent (Mt. 3:2; 4:17; Mark 1:15). b. Believe the gospel (Mark 1:14-15).

c. Be born again (John 3:3). d. Be born of water and the Spirit (John 3:5). e. Be converted (Mt. 18:2-4). f. Become like little children (Mt. 18:3; 19:14; Luke 18:16-17; Mark 10:14).

g. Press into the kingdom (Luke 16:16).

2. We must make the principles of the kingdom number one in our lives. We must therefore choose Him over other pressures that will confront us. a. Over social pressures (Luke 14:26). b. Over traditions (Luke 9:59-62).

c. Over material possessions (Mark 10:17- 27). d. Over sin (Mt. 18:6-9). e. Over all (Mt. 6:33).

3. We must structure our lives in such a way as to extend God’s rule and reign in the earth.

C. His kingdom coming involves believers seeing themselves as representatives of the kingdom 100% of the time. 1. Some believers go to work with no concept of being a representative for God in their place of business.

2. Some believers feel that the principles of the kingdom of God are not relevant to the world of modern business. 3. Some believers see no value or importance in their jobs and see it as the boring part of their lives and are constantly waiting for the enjoyable and important things to happen after they “punch out.”

4. Some believers may actually do damage to the cause of Christ and kingdom extension by their attitudes and work performance. 5. Some believers see working with the unsaved as a painful necessity rather than a privilege.

6. Some believers do not see those with whom they work as their personal flock to shepherd or their personal garden to tend and keep. 7. Some believers feel that this message only relates to those who have positions of authority in the marketplace.

II. God’s kingdom comes when His purpose is exalted in every area of society. A. The General Sense In a general sense, the Kingdom of God refers to the realm of God that includes everything in the universe whether seen or unseen (Ps. 45:6; 145:10-13; 10:16; 103:19).

B. The Specific Sense In the specific sense, the Kingdom of God refers to the reign of God and only includes those spiritual beings and areas that are submitted to the will and purposes of God.

1. We can pray for God’s rulership, government or reign (His Kingdom) to come on earth as it is in heaven. 2. We can extend the Kingdom of God or extend God’s rule in the earth. We extend the Kingdom by bringing other freewill beings and areas of society under submission to the word and will of God.

III. God’s kingdom is extended through believer’s who represent His purposes in life. A. Character B. Relationship C. Reproduction D. Function

IV. Every believer has a personal responsibility to help fulfill the dominion mandate in their area of rule (II Cor. 10:12- 18).
