Mastering and understanding the workings of a kingdom will bring us from ignorance when we finally become born again. Unfortunately, this crucial and inevitable step of our faith has been ploughed and diluted into a religion by pagan Christians. Merely standing before a group of people, confessing your sins and accepting Jesus as your personal savior does not make you born again. Remember Nicky who said;

“Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”

Christianity is just as confused as Nicky was. Nicky was “Israel’s teacher”, he was a member of the Jewish ruling council. He was what I could call our modern day pastors, priests, imams. Yet he was told he could not enter the kingdom. Why? Because he could not understand the things of this earth nor those of heaven. In other words, he was religious!

To repent, to me, means renewing one’s mind;

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Rom 12:2

it means changing the traditional way that I think and replacing it with the right way, with the truth. Jesus showed us the truth;


“I am the way and the truth and the life..”
John 15:6


he told us how to think;

“You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all. Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience…”
Col 3:7-12

Using Jesus, analogy of the wind, we cannot see wind, it is invisible. We can only see its effects, like a leaf blowing round and round in an alley of a whiff of a little girls dress. In the same way you cannot see one who is born again- born of the spirit but by their actions. If people only say you are born again when they see you, then we are not yet there, yet only those alive and begotten of the spirit will inherit the kingdom.
I have said the so-called “believer’s prayer” many times and claimed to be born again, though never changed my mind. It is only recently when I became focused on the truth of Jesus Christ, when I studied the plan of God and I found out why I was created, when I know that I am not of this world, though I live in it, when I believe that the kingdom of God is conferred on me through Christ; when i believe the Christ is the Son of God and i, in faith, confess it; then i know with certainty that my spirit has been reborn.

In His Likeness

I lay on my bed throughout the afternoon listening to Dr. Myles Munroe teaching about the kingdom of God.

I have been consumed by this message and its meaning for months and even though I have read most of Dr. Myles book and listened to his sermons about the subject, I feel there is a lot more about the kingdom that I do not know.

“Let us make human beings in our image, in our likeness,”. If God made us in His Image and we appear with 2 arms 2 legs, a torso, 2 eyes, ears, a nose, wit hair etc. does this mean God looks like me, short, fat, killer legs, cute fingers, cellulite et al? Is God human like you and me? Of course not.

So what is this likeness and image in which we were created? If God cannot be like us, can we be like him? Yes we can.

God is a spirit and in us he created a spirit. It is this likeness that is spoken of in Gen 1:26. Isn’t it amazing then to know that we have the very same spirit in us that is like God? We have the capability to be holy like him, to be truthful, faithful, gracious, righteous etc. We are on this earth, but being like God, we are not of this earth.

We are human beings because we need to live on this earth. God created the earth perfect for us to dwell in. He made the seas, the sun to give us light, the plants and animals to give us food. Spirits are not allowed to inhabit the earth, thus God needed to send his son (A spirit) to take the form of a human body.

“Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature e of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a human being…” Phil 2:6-7.

All my earthly traits are not of God. Realizing and knowing this feels like I have finally overcome. For now I know, and I have proof that whatever worldly experiences I go through, these are not meant to be me, therefore I simply turn to God and ask Him what we should do, because remember, Him and I are alike in spirit.

“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”- Ps 73:26
