DISPENSATION OF DIVINE GOVERNMENT
David Abankwah
READ: Romans 14:17
²⁰…..“The kingdom of God does not come with observation; ²¹nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”
-Luke 17:20-21 | NKJV
In 1 Corinthians 12:4-6, we can see that there are diversities of gifts, but the same Holy Spirit; there are differences of ministries, but the same Lord, and there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. Before God walked the earth and was about to leave the earth, He promised of a Kingdom. He said He would not leave us as orphans but will ask of the Father and He would give us another Comforter. Even though the right hand of God had already established the Kingdom of heaven (Christianity), it was not enough. The intention of God was not just the worship of Him with flesh and blood because physical worship is limited.
We all know that God is Omnipresent – thus God is everywhere, the Messiah was limited geographically because of the form of servant or body of men He was living in. He was not fully functioning the way He ought to have been in the lives of His children. The same Jesus Christ who is the Author of our faith (thus Kingdom of heaven) is the same Holy Spirit or Spirit of Christ (thus Kingdom of God) as the Finisher of our faith. The same Jesus Christ who walked in flesh, lived among men, healed, did all miracles, preached and taught, is the same Person who is here with us on earth as the Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:17; 1 Corinthians 6:17).
In the Old Testament, the divine government through the Holy Spirit only came upon few selected people who were anointed. That was not the intention of God but a preparation of another dispensation to come. God is Spirit and not flesh and He wants His true worshippers to worship Him in truth and in Spirit (John 4:24). God purposely created our bodies as temples He would live in some time to come (Genesis 1:26; 1 Corinthians 3:16). The various preparations of this divine government or Kingdom of God is the reason many dispensations needed to come for this divine vision to be actualised.
Because many have been accustomed to the various human government of their countries through their Constitution, everyone who wants to come into the Kingdom of God must first repent (Mark 1:5). Repentance is key for the transformation of the person’s mind towards the diverse laws of the Kingdom of God. Many are in the Kingdom of heaven (church) but the Kingdom of God is not in them. We normally say the benediction after church but few have the fellowship of the Holy Spirit who is the divine government in them. It is the divine government that one can be sealed for eternal life (Ephesians 1:13; 4:30).

Lift up prayers for repentance from all sin, iniquity, transgression or abomination so you can be fully committed to the fellowship of the divine government in the name of Jesus Christ.
Quote
True divine worship can only be achieved through the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
