Kingdom Principles

Kingdom Concept #1

I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask Me for any thing in My name, and I will do it (John 14:13-14). Kingdom citizens may always exercise kingly authority because the King is always present with them. 11. A king’s wealth is measured by his property. The larg er and richer in resources a kingdom is, the wealthier the king, because the king owns everything in his kingdom. Dictators become wealthy by stealing from the people. Democratically elected leaders may or may not be per sonally wealthy, but they definitely do not own their country. This is one of the major distinctions between a king and other government leaders. Kings own every thing in their domain by right of birth and kingship. As a matter of fact, property is so tied up with a king’s identi ty that without it a king is not a king. We will discuss this more thoroughly in Chapter Six. Why is wealth so important in a kingdom? So the king can take care of his citizens. A righteous and benevolent king does not amass wealth for himself but for the wel fare of his citizens. This is why it is only in a kingdom where we truly find commonwealth ; that is, the wealth is common to all the people. No kingdom is greater or richer than the Kingdom of Heaven because it encompasses all that exists. And no king is wealthier than the King of Heaven because He owns everything everywhere in both the natural and supernatural realms. Consequently, no citizens of any government are more prosperous or have greater welfare than do citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven because all the infinite wealth of that Kingdom is their common wealth.
