Having A Kingdom Mind ~ Dr. Wilfred Lai

Dr. Wilfred Lai ~ JCC Mombasa, Kenya

I want you to know I love everyone of you and the devil can do nothing about it. Here we are raising an army and not civilians; people who have a kingdom mind.
Isaiah 55:6-11

I want you to know that every accomplishment in your life will come from the word that God has said. Little faith which comes from hearing little word makes us not to live like kingdom people. Your Father loves you and He does not want you to run around for things like sinners (Matthew 6:33), He wants you to seek him and call on and He will take care of you. You cannot be a God seeker if you are not a prayer warrior. When the church backslid, it started those small groups of intercessors, everybody is supposed to be an intercessor, if you don't have a burden to pray, you have backslid! The Lord is not far, He is near to those who seek Him. The Holy Spirit is the one who helps us. 

If you want to be a Kingdom minded person, you must change the way you think. You must not hear the word only once a week and think you are okay. I always say the word is food, if you eat one meal a week, you will be malnourished and become so weak. That is why I say Sunday worship is of the devil! If it is of God, where in the Bible was that day given to Christians as a day of worship? When the church was born, they met daily! You also need to understand that Jesus is not the founder of Christianity, He said in Matthew 16:18-19, "... on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. ¹⁹ And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven ..." When we have very little of the word of God in us, then we believe every wind of doctrines of men and that's why Christians are running around looking for miracles, why don't you seek the Lord and miracles follow you (Mark 16:17)? The kingdom of God is not run with men's ideas, the Bible is the kingdom constitution! 

The Kingdom of God does not operate in weakness, it operates in power. God has got power to accomplish all He needs to do and so He does not beg anybody to do anything, He commands us, He commands every one to get saved. God operates in power because He is not a president who will come asking for your votes; He is a king! The people who know their God shall be strong and do exploits but if you don't know God, you will operate everything in fear. When situations come, speak to them words of faith because I have learned that everything has an ear. Look at the devil on the face and tell him, "not here!" When Jesus came from the wilderness, He returned in power (Luke 4:14), raising the dead, calming storms and healing the sick. That's the power of the kingdom; it is not mere words, it's operated in Power! How do you get the power? Seek the Lord and call on Him (Isaiah 55:6). There are powers of darkness that control where you are and if you are going to go where God wants you to be, you must get out of this sleeping business (Proverbs 24:33-34) get up and pray, make right confessions and watch what God will do. 

When the church begun, nobody played church, the story of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5:2 shows how the kingdom operates. Ananias came in the spirit of religiosity like some people who think preachers need their money. The preachers of the day never sought for money, they did not do harambees to buy a car, they preached the gospel and the people sold their lands and houses (Acts 4:35) and brought the money at the Apostles feet who in turn did not steal it but used it for the gospel.

When you begin to operate the way God does - doing everything for His glory - you will begin to see immediate results. When you have power you don't worry about small things. Your new level will not happen when the word of God is not dwelling in you richly, forsake your thoughts and return to the Lord (Isaiah 55:7) for He will abundantly pardon and open doors because it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
