There are two things that need to happen before God’s magnificant kingdom become evident in ones life. Many people today attend church services around the world with the\u00a0hope of experiencing such evident as the kingdom of God manifest; even if they do not really know why they go to that specific church. So, then the question that comes to mind is why do people go to church? What is it that draw \u00a0people to church? One of the things that we need to be ready to accept is that Jesus really came from God, and that the very signs that he did and is doing are also God’s work, and I think that that is the real reason why we go to church.<\/p>\n

John 3:1-3<\/p>\n

3\u00a0Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council.2\u00a0<\/sup>He came to Jesus at night and said, \u201cRabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.\u201d3\u00a0<\/sup>Jesus replied, \u201cVery truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.<\/p>\n

Nicodemus a man who knew the law and was very knowledgeable person all of a sudden dawned on him the Kingdom of God. His mind was opened so that now he could see the Kingdom but he had one last step to take before he could enter. Nicodemus saw Jesus drive demons out (Mt. 12:28) with God’s finger. The tone of the voice in Nicodemus displayed in John 3 was that of worrisome. He understood that the same way it came it could leave; the kingdom of God (Mt. 21:42).<\/p>\n

When we are in God’s kingdom all its secrets are revealed to us (Mk 4:11). God likes to share his plans with us; those secret things that no one else knows are the things that he likes to share with us (Deut. 29:29). God, from now on, is and will be showing his people those hidden things (Is. 48:6-8). God’s kingdom is not\u00a0hidden these days and times it is very noticeable to those who are born again.<\/p>\n

The Kingdom of God is accessible to everyone, but a condition of child hood is required in order to see it (Mk. 10:14). Many are expecting and waiting for God’s kingdom to come and therefore many cults have arise like the\u00a0“Jesus cult<\/a>” (Lk. 27:20-21). Something has to happen to a person before he or she can see the Kingdom of God; something like a clear understanding who Jesus is and believe in the miracles that follow him. The kingdom has come!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
