“King Is Nurturing God, Daily Offering Messiah!” (K.I.N.G.D.O.M)


Ramesh C. Reddy
Editor in Chief

Hi everyone :)

May you know Jesus, who wants to be your Lord and Savior this Christmas season and forever!! Amen!

“You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, his kingdom will never end.” (Luke 1:31-33)

I learned a lot about Jesus from these verses and decided to list them!

1. Jesus will be great

2. Jesus will be called the Son of the Most High

3. Jesus will have the throne of David

4. Jesus will reign over the house of Jacob forever

5. Jesus’ kingdom will never end.

More than anything what stuck out to me is #5: Jesus’ kingdom will never end.

As I thought about it, how true it is! More than 2000 years have gone by and His Kingdom keeps growing. The exciting thing is for there to be a kingdom, there also have to be citizens of that kingdom. Jesus’ kingdom keeps growing and we can be part of that kingdom. As His children, we have an awesome King of Kings who will take care of us and meet us where we are at.

I ask you now dear friends, what kingdom will you be part of?

Friend, it is exciting to know from God’s Word that Jesus’ kingdom will never end. His kingdom is what we can be part of. There are many kingdoms in this world but not all kingdoms lead to love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, and self-control but Jesus’ Kingdom is covered in these virtues. You and I can be part of this kingdom forever.

Imagine being a child of the King of kings and Lord of lords. This King will reign forever and ever and Jesus is His Name. He will take care of you and me. He rules with love, mercy, grace and forgiveness.  No matter where we have been and what we have done we can come to King Jesus.

Yes, friend as I read about what the angel foretold Mary about Jesus, I was so exciting. The excitement is because 2000 years have gone by and those promises have been fulfilled and Jesus is everything Scripture has foretold.

You can be part of this Kingdom no matter what you have done. When you come to Jesus and allow Him to rule and reign in your life, He will take care of the rest. Of course, that does mean obedience to the King and forsaking of self and its desires. This can only be done when you allow Jesus to work in you through His Holy Spirit for none of us can save ourselves or become righteous enough to seek God. When we wait until everything is right to come to Jesus, that will never happen. We will be depending on ourselves to be accepted by God than receiving His grace! He wants to offer you His grace! Thank you Jesus!

Will you do that this Christmas season and receive His gift of grace?

You will give Jesus the best present on His birthday!

Jesus loves you so much and wants you to be part of His Kingdom. May you come to the best Kingdom ever and know Jesus who is great, the Son of the Most High, the King of Kings will reign forever in your heart and His kingdom will never end. It is the Kingdom of Heaven filled with His children. You and I can continue to be part of that Kingdom!

There are only 2 kingdoms, the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of Darkness. We can only be part of one. Jesus wants you to be part of His Kingdom but He won’t force Himself on you.

Won’t you come to Him as you are and allow Him to take care of you?

May you know the love of the Lord Jesus and keep your heart opened to Him this Christmas season and forever! Amen!

“King Is Nurturing God, Daily Offering Messiah!” (K.I.N.G.D.O.M)/”What kingdom will you be part of?”

 Prayer:

Jesus, I love you. You are great! You are the Son of the Most High! You are the King of kings and Lord of lords. Your Kingdom will never end! You will reign forever more! Thank you that you rule in love and mercy. To save us, you gave your life as a sacrifice so we all could be delivered from the Kingdom of Darkness. I thank you for that Jesus! Now as we open our hearts to you and receive what you have done for us, we can be part of your Kingdom of Heaven. I thank you Jesus. I thank you that you have shed your blood on the cross and saved us as we are covered by your cleansing blood. You Oh Lord know where we have been and what we have done. You know the times we have totally dishonored you and disobeyed you. We have rebelled against you and for that we are sorry. Please come and be our King this Christmas season and forever more. Thank you Jesus so much you forgive us and we can be your child, for to all who received you, you gave them right to become children of God, all they needed to do is trust you. Help our trust in you to be proactive and not passive. Thanks Jesus, my Lord and Personal Savior. I confess my sins to you Lord and repent of all my sin. I surrender my life to you. Please be in charge and control of my life. I give you permission to rule in me for I want you to be my King and I want to be part of your Kingdom. I thank you Jesus for being my Lord and Personal Savior. Thank you that you have heard our prayers and answered us. In Your Name I Pray Jesus! Amen!

Love in Christ,
Ramesh
