In the first reading we read about how Paul dwelt for two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to him, preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 28:31)
I was talking to the Lord one evening and I asked Him: What should I teach to your people?
The Lord said to me: Teach them about my Kingdom and the finished work of Christ.
It dawned on me that evening that all my messages to His people should always be focused on the Kingdom of God, Jesus Christ and him Crucified.

In this post I would like talk about how the Kingdom of God takes care of its citizens. (Philippians 3:20) | Taken from The Kingdom of God by Brother Krish Fernandez
In some developed countries when a person does not have a job, the government takes care of their basic needs. In some countries the government will also give them a house with a TV connection. If a government on earth can do so much for its people, much more does the Kingdom of God do for its citizens. In the Kingdom of God, God is able to provide for all his children in abundance (Matthew 6:33) and it is also His will to make every citizen of His Kingdom very rich. (Proverbs 10:22)
When you are born-again and enter the Kingdom of God, God becomes your provider and SOURCE. In most cases I have seen that God wants to provide far greater than we want to receive. God wanted to give the Israelites a land flowing with milk and honey. (Leviticus 20:24) The word 'milk' here refers to basic necessities while the word 'honey' refers to an abundance of luxury items. I believe God always wants to give His citizens both basic necessities as well as luxury items.
The Bible says: “So it shall be, when the Lord your God brings you into the land of which He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give you large and beautiful cities which you did not build, houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, hewn-out wells which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant—
The Israelites did not enter into the promise of God because they did not mix what they heard with faith. (Hebrews 4:2)
It is my prayer that you will not limit God. God wants you to be a person who can lend to nations. (Deuteronomy 28:12) He wants to bless the works of your hands so much that your nation will look at you and say: You have become mightier than us. (Genesis 26:12-16) And after that God wants to bless you still more. (Psalms 115:14)
It is only when we believe God and like Mary say- Let it be to me according to your word. (Luke 1:38) that God can bring these things to pass in our lives. Selah.
