These things are not supposed to take place in heaven but here on earth. There is nothing for man to subdue in heaven. From the beginning God made man to reign as king on earth. Man lost that position, but Jesus came to restore it. Man did not fall from heaven; he fell from dominion. THAT IS WHY PEOPLE ARE NOT INTERESTED WHEN YOU OFFER THEM HEAVEN. They are searching for dominion on earth, over resources, money, things! They are tired of landlord problems, transport problems, social problems. They want control. They want to be free; from anxiety over unmet needs, they are tired of being defeated, they are tired of being mocked by people and circumstances! They just want to live on earth without trouble! THERE IS A LOT OF LIVING HERE ON EARTH BEFORE WE GET TO HEAVEN.
As you go witnessing, tell people how Jesus came to restore their dominion on earth as citizens of the Kingdom of God.
Notice that Jesus did not come to preach heaven. He came to preach the Kingdom of God. And He said, it has come on earth. He even taught us to pray, “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:10. Notice what He said. He didn’t say take them to heaven. So, instead of teaching people only how to get to heaven, we should be teaching them how to get on here on earth, how to survive right here, right now while preparing to finally go to heaven after living a full life on earth!
PRAY: Father, give me understanding of the Kingdom of God that I may enjoy it fully, in Jesus name.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION: From today, you will enjoy your Kingdom heritage, in Jesus name!
