We’re Not Subjugated Servants, We’re Royal Sons Of God

Christianity today is categorised as a religion. But Jesus can’t be classified with religions. He’s a King. He’s far above all religions. The world was changed by Him. And the Kingdom of God is the inheritance of believers. “It is the Father’s good pleasure to give us the Kingdom.” (Luke 12:32). That’s right… we’ve inherited a kingdom. It makes us “the head and not the tail”. (Deut 28:13).

The commonwealth of the kingdom means that wealth is common in the kingdom. In the Kingdom of God: “My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches.” In the Kingdom of God, instead of the subjects dying to protect the king, the King died to protect His subjects.  Hallelujah.

It’s the only kingdom where we can walk right into the courts of the King and have intimate communications with Him, anytime we want. “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” (He 4:16). 

We’re so blessed, we’re so equipped and we’re so empowered.

We’re not subjugated servants, we’re empowered sons of God. Remember the prodigal son, when he decided to return to the father’s house, he said to himself, “I’m not worthy, I’ll ask my father to make me just a servant,” but the father ran to him and greeted him back as a son. He said, “My son who was once lost is found again“. God wants sons. (Lk 15:24).

The kingdoms of the world make their people “subjects”. But in the Kingdom of God, we’re all “family”. In fact, Jesus is the King of kings. We’re ALL made royalty. We’re a royal priesthood. “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.” (1Pt 2:9).We’re a commonwealth of kings; not religious believers, but legal citizens of a kingdom. “But as many as received Him, to them gave He power (legal right) to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name (Jn1:12). The word ‘Christian’ was never used by Jesus. It was introduced by pagans in Antioch. Jesus called us SONS of God.

Jesus said that God is looking for true worshippers. “The hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him.” (Jn 4:21-23).
