The Kingdom of God...(part 1)

Well, as the custom is that whenever i do a new post, i must first apologise for the long MIA, so so sorry guys, really hard to find time to blog, but i guess most of you guys have already gotten used to it right? Anyway things that are rare are more appreciated isn't it? hahaha... btw here is something that happen very recently that i really felt a lot for.

Last monday on the 18 of August, i went for the morning prayer at the Heart of God church, and Pastor Aries was sharing with us that even as we come and pray, lets seek to lift up the name of the Lord and not come with the Lord with our prayers needs all the time, it was really that sets me thinking, and when i went for my company's devotion later on, praying by the beach, i remembered what Pastor said in the morning.

So i ask God, if He has anything for to me to pray and to intercede, and for that day, i just wanted to be an intercessor and pray for the needs in the Kingdom. However, the first thing that God asked me to pray for is my business (i'm self-employed btw, if you do not know...) so i felt... ok... since God asked me to pray for my business, why not? so when i finished praying for my business, i asked God if He has any "Kingdom" stuff for me to intercede? And God told me something very powerful, God said i just did...that my business is His kingdom agenda, and from there i understand that when we pray Your kingdom come and Your will be done, we are praying that Jesus will reign over a particular sphere of influence that we are in, for example, our school, our work, our ministry, etc... and God work through people, so the only way for Jesus to reign in that sphere of influence, is that we have dominion over it. So if all the Christians rise up to take dominion over the spheres that they are in in the marketplace, then truly we are going back do what God has called us to do in Gen 1:28 “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” therefore work has taken a whole new perspective for me, marketplace ministry has never seem so real...cos i know i'm it for something....

P.S so sorry, i'm too tried to finish off everything, look out for part 2 k? hopefully won't be too long. =)
