Taking TERRITORY
The most
important thing to every living thing in life is the pecking order we are
subjected to.
Authority and
position is every thing in regard to our relationship with God and our
influence to others.
- Satan said: 5 things
- I will
- I will
- I will
- I will
- I will
- The fall of Lucifer was due to his
position not being good enough for himself. Luke 10:18 Jesus told them: I saw
Satan fall from heaven like a flash of lightning:
- Satan is the God of this world:
- Satan took authority and territory from Adam & Eve:
- We are called to repossess and
dispossess:
- Deu
9:1 You must gain territory pass
over your Jordan today, go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier
than yourself, cities great and fortified up to heaven,
- Deu 31:3 Your God,
will go over before you; he will destroy these nations from before you,
and thou will dispossess them.
- INCREASING TERRITORY - Jos 1:3 Every place
that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, to you have I given it, as I spake unto Moses. From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even unto the great river, the
river Euphrates, all the land of the
Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall
be your border. There shall not any
man be able to stand before thee all the days of
thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee; I will not fail
thee, nor forsake thee.
- INCREASING TERRITORY – BODY – Body is
the temple of the Holy Spirit.
- INCREASING TERRITORY – SOUL – Renew the
mind in Christ – Sober in all things -
- INCREASING TERRITORY – SPIRIT – Build
yourself up in your most Holy Faith.
- Jesus Christ took back the keys of
life and death - Rev 1:18 and the Living one; and I was dead, and
behold, I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys of death and of
Hades.
- There is no death in Christ.
- We are called to rule with all the
authority of Christ.
- We are called to set people free so that
they can be positioned with Christ and live.
- Missions & Outreach Matt:28 19
- We are to go into all the world
- We are to impact every segment of
society – turn the world upside for Jesus.
- In this last century, Korea has sent out more
missionaries than any other nation.
- God will honour that.
- To whom much is given – much will be
required.
- This honour might be given to other
nations, if we do not be follow the precepts of
God.
- Your political outcome will determine your influence in North Korea
and Missions and outreach thrust.
- Impact your nation through God fearing
leaders.
- Be relevant with your present influence.
- Give to the poor and you lend to God.
- Show kindness to the people of God.
- Heathen Kings of Persia occupied Babylon
- their territory grew as they showed favour to God’s people
- King Cyrus financed the rebuilding
of wall for Nehimiah
- King Ahasuerus
replaced Vashti by marrying Esther (Est_2:16)
and saved the nation of Israel
- Rehoboam had lost much territory as he was harsh on the
people of God.
The successor of Solomon on the throne,
reigned seventeen years (975-958 B.C.). Although he was acknowledged at once as
the rightful heir to the throne, yet there was a strongly-felt desire to modify
the character of the government. The burden of taxation to which they had been
subjected during Solomon's reign was very oppressive, and therefore the people
assembled at Shechem and demanded from the king an
alleviation of their burdens. He went to meet them at Shechem,
and heard their demands for relief (1Ki_12:4). After three days, having
consulted with a younger generation of courtiers that had grown up around him,
instead of following the advice of elders, he answered the people haughtily (1Ki_12:6-15).
“The king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the Lord”
(Compare 1Ki_11:31). This brought matters speedily to a crisis. The
terrible cry was heard (Compare 2Sa_20:1): “What portion have we in
David? Neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: To your tents, O
Israel: Now see to thine own house, David” (1Ki_12:16).
And now at once the kingdom was rent in twain.
CONCLUSION:
If Korea wants to
remain a major force in the missions field globally they need to care on how
they tend there own flocks.
This will
have a direct impact on the national elections and this in turn will close the
doors for Korea or open the
doors very wide for Korea.
