The call to repentance in the new dispensation started with John the Baptist. God sent John the Baptist to baptize unto repentance because the kingdom of God is coming.

John preached repentance saying God’s judgement is coming. It was not enough that they were born Jews and believe in the law, then they living their lives the way they please. They needed to repent from their wrong ways.

Then Jesus came preaching the kingdom of God. He also died to redeemed man from condemnation and to bring repentant men to where he is -John 14:3.

The disciples preached repentance, salvation and the kingdom of God. They preached salvation to the people because the people had already repented.

Repentance is not salvation. when you repent from your wrongs you still owe for what you have done. After you repent salvation from Jesus is next.

The message from Jesus also came so that we will walk out our salvation. Christians are those who walk out their salvation.

Sometimes it seems there was no repentance when the apostles preached, but in Acts 19:1-8 Paul shows us how it is; first its repentance (verse 3) next is salvation by Jesus (Verse 5) and then you receive the Holy ghost to help build you fit for the kingdom of God.

Paul asked - should we continue in sin that grace may abound? Because If you must come to Christ, you are expected to drop your old ways which is repentance.

God has exalted Jesus and placed him over us so that he will work on us because he is the express image of what God accepts.

He is to carry us to what brought him to whom he is-a son, this is the kingdom God gave to him. Right now we are in the kingdom of Jesus- Corinthians 1:13. This is why the kingdom is full of the name Jesus, everything has been given to him.


Jesus leads us through the guidelines of God. ‘Working our Salvation’ is Jesus pouring out the father’s will unto us which is the renewing of our minds. This is not repentance. The bible declares you are saved already, next is the renewing of your mind.

This salvation is a working unto perfection unto the image of the son of God which the father is pleased with.

He gives you his word so that you become like his son in stature. In Jesus’s kingdom he says do not be conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind (Roman 12:2) if you notice it didn’t say ‘not conformed to bad things’ which is repentance but to the world. So daily we learn the ways of sons picking up good things and dropping bad ones, gradually becoming like the son in character/image.

God sends us to preach to all nations as a witness, once we are done he returns for Judgement; he comes for those who have separated themselves unto him.

If a person says he is a Christian but keeps his bad ways it shows he never repented, he is not walking in Christ. The bible lists several characters which is not found in the kingdom of God but the kingdom of Jesus accepts all characters to purify them.

We are all saved but he that endures till the end shall be saved. Paul was saved yet he said ‘least I be a cast away’ because he was working his own salvation.

The kingdom of Jesus is where you are being shown the way to the kingdom of God, to be like the son because the father is pleased with him. Jesus is our mediator to God purifying & arranging us individually and collectively unto the father’s plan, showing us where to work on in our lives, so the kingdom of God is made easy not difficult anymore because of Jesus.

God gave us his spirit and word to be able to follow according to the kingdom principle. Jesus knows what the father wants so the spirit is sent in the name of Jesus.

At the end of time Jesus will bring all enemies under God’s feet and present us to God as bride in the kingdom of God, we will live as sons approved by God with Jesus Christ our elder brother and leader as the first of all.

In acts 19: 7,8 Paul preached about the kingdom of God –where we are going as Christians. Narrow is the way that leads to salvation is talking about God’s kingdom not the kingdom of Jesus.

The kingdom of God has not yet come. The kingdom of God is the place of the new heaven & earth where Jesus hands over everything to God so that God is all in all 1cor 15:28 and we are going to be his people and he is going to be our God 2cor 6:16. This is the structure.

The kingdom of God talks about better things where things are right. Jesus came talking about the kingdom of God- separating the good from bad at judgement, and then gave us salvation and left.

In the end death and every evil thought would be destroyed. You can’t think evil anymore, no evil in the kingdom of God. We will live as sons approved by God. So no judgement for those who walked with God and have been separated because judgement has already been Passed-God declaring us faithful. The kingdom of God is where we will be stamped as sons not a place of Judgement anymore.

You may ask with all the requirements who then can qualify for God’s kingdom? It is possible, God in Christ in the answer.

With this in mind you can see why it’s wrong for a Christian to seek power from God. It shows you do not understand your purpose on earth. Miracles which supposed to be a sign have become a distraction, it has become what the people are attracted and moved by. Such character is never found in scriptures.

Miracles is God’s place not man's. Jesus was the one who said these signs shall follow them that believe, it was not the disciples that desired it.

It was God who confirmed their message with signs and wonders not them seeking power. Christians wrongly desire power so that they can go and “show it forth”. But these Christian also need salvation, they need to keep building themselves.

God worked in the midst of the apostles confirming them. But nowadays it’s a show; they say ‘If you have any problem bring it we have the solution forgetting that it's God who solves problem not man. The focus has moved to what God will do for you when it’s suppose to be a working of our salvation.

The mentality of some Christians is that the kingdom has come so they relax saying- “there is therefore no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus”. But that verse continues and says, “who do not work according to the flesh”(romans 8:1)

Other scriptures show us characters of the flesh warning those who walk according to the flesh that shall not inherit the kingdom of God, this means something is happening- the working of salvation. But those who walk according to the flesh shall be judged.

So don’t allow anyone make you feel so relaxed saying you are saved already, free from sin. You are not yet in the kingdom of God; you have to pleased the father first.

God needs you qualified for his kingdom, you have not gone through that yet. Your focus should be to build yourself to come to that stature of the image of the son of God, that was what Jesus was like.

The father was pleased with Jesus because he was obedient and humble even to death. He had beautiful characters.

The word of God was given to you to keep building & come to that image. Never lose focus. You might be troubled like the disciples asking ‘how will I be saved?’ Jesus now takes us through the process. That kingdom of God that seem impossible to achieve is now been made possible as Jesus said. There is a starting point, he was this way and now he is built. First requirement is turning from your old ways (repentance), be willing to follow him (discipleship) and then he will take you making you a qualified son that God has tested and is well pleased with.

I will And i have And will always
