Not until you come out of the world, the understanding of the kingdom of God and its expressions will always remain hidden to you.
Base on my standing point in the previous post, that "not until you come out from the influence of the environmental, cultural, societal, political and religious shackles of this world, you are no where to have a glimpse of what the true expression of the kingdom of God is". You won't get to know the perfect mind of God when you are still under the influence of this world's elements( Romans 12:2).

It is impossible to embrace the world( all its cares), remain in close relationship with the world and still expect to see God or understand the expressions of the kingdom of God. Because this world is a kingdom on its own too, being managed by the devil on a legal ground. You can't serve two masters. You rather put priority on one and neglect the other(Matthew 6: 24). And so it is with the understanding of the kingdom of God too. You must be single hearted to see the kingdom of God, its purpose and its expressions aright.
WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD? ( Romans 14:17)
Apart from our general understanding of the kingdom of God which speaks of the territorial, locational and domain of God( heaven), where every child of God is anticipating to go or enter at the last day, THE KINGDOM OF GOD painstakingly means AN EXPRESSION OF GOD HIMSELF AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS through the Holy Spirit.
The kingdom of God is the reality OF GOD, the reality IN GOD that had been in existence, that exists now and will still be revealed in the future( Revelation 1:8). It is these realities in/of God that the Holy spirit daily gives expressions to on earth that defines the kingdom of God not just a static structure of a territory but the LIFE of/in God. The kingdom of is meant to be experienced. The kingdom of God is actually the expressions of the LIFE of God and all the activities of God upon the earth and upon MEN. This expression of God's life and activities are being achieved or carried out through the help of the HOLY SPIRIT on earth and in the lives of MEN.

The kingdom of God speaks of the life of God; language, culture, government and His constitution, citizenship etc. These aforementioned about God and His government are made manifest or expressed on earth and on men through the HOLY SPIRIT. The concept of the kingdom of God is best understood as God making known His life, language, culture, way of running His government, constitutions and His WILL on earth by men through the help of the Holy Spirit( 1 peter 2:9).
The accurate concept of the kingdom of God is, God bringing into alignment His system of government and life in heaven with that of earth; making His activities and life in heaven replicated simultaneously here on earth as it is going on in heaven( Luke 11:2). That is, God giving expressions to His life and the totality of His activities in heaven interchangeably with men as they daily live their lives on earth. It means God having expression in the affairs of men( Daniel 4:17).
Luke 11:2 says;
So He said to them, “When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.

In a broad light, the kingdom of God is the WILL of God having expressions on earth just as it is being done in heaven. The kingdom of God is a state where what is being done in heaven by the heavenly hosts of God is being played out here on earth by the hosts of men in a like manner just as it is going on in heaven( doing the will of God o earth ).
The kingdom of God is a state of alignment of heaven's programmes and it activities with that of earth's simultaneously. Duplicating the programme going on in heaven hand-in-hand with that of the earth, with the purpose of making God evident on earth( Genesis 28: 12. John 5:19)
When we start to see the primary understanding of the kingdom of God as this; as God paving ways to find expressions on earth through men rather than men going about with their own activities and church programmes to qualify them to enter into the kingdom of God at the last day, then, the agenda and programme of God for humanity on earth will become clearer.

This understanding should really drive everyone to ask if they have been individually operating in/with the kingdom of God? And also at large, it is pertinent through this understanding that we can evaluate which church(s) has/have been operating for the kingdom of God or they are just going about with their own programmes under the name of "doing the work of the kingdom"?
The transformation the world and individual needs on earth can only come to reality when we allow God give expressions in our day to day activities. And that defines the coming of the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. It is ONLY the system of God's government that can give the world PEACE, JOY, RIGHTEOUSNESS on earth. And that God's government is the KINGDOM OF GOD in expression
A CHALLENGE TO RISE AND ALIGN
This is a challenge to all the church of God and every individual to evaluate their lives and see if their daily activities and programmes are in alignment with what the hosts of heaven is doing above daily( John 5:19). Each day, when our activities, individually and even the church of God do not align, or synchronise, and tally with that of heaven, we are not different from the WORKER OF INIQUITIES......(Mathew 7:21-23).

It does not matter how much programmes are being executed on earth that carry the name of Jesus Christ, if the hosts of heaven is not carrying out the same thing in heaven it has nothing to do with the work of the kingdom, but rather works borne out of the passion of the flesh. I pray you will not be cast away in the last day in heaven.
Jesus loves you.
