Thine Is The Kingdom: Possessing What Was Made To Be Yours
()
About this ebook
We are told by Jesus to close our prayers with the declaration, “Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever . . .” This work is presented to show the reader, yes, the Kingdom belongs to God, but it also belongs to those of us who are the “sons” of God. For all who will receive it, “Thine, (yours) is the Kingdom, and the power and the glory, forever.”
THINE IS THE KINGDOM imparts revelation of the truth that God initially intended for the Kingdom to belong to mankind. You and I. Not only did God make the world for you to reign in as a king, but God desires that the Kingdom be yours right now, in the present and that the end of all things will result in you reigning as a king in the Kingdom of God. “FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM.”

INTRODUCTION
"After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen." (Matthew 6:9-13, KJV)
The prayer of Jesus, often referred to as The Lord’s Prayer,
or The Model Prayer,
is one of the most noted passages of scripture in the Bible. Known and quoted by both Christian and non-Christian alike, most everyone around the world has heard these words of Jesus prayed, stated, taught, preached and even made into musical lyrics. Recorded in both the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, this prayer of Jesus to some and model of prayer to others, stands as a pillar in Bible.
Matthew’s gospel records this prayer, or model of how to pray, as part of Jesus’ Kingdom teaching on the Mount. It is connected to Jesus’ message of the Beatitudes,
His challenge to His followers to be both salt
and light,
His message to turn the other Cheek,
and to go the extra mile.
Luke on the other hand has Jesus reciting this model of prayer to His disciples in response to their request of Him to teach them how to pray. "Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples,
(Luke 11:1, NKJV). According to Luke’s gospel, the disciples have been watching Jesus. They have walked with Him for some time and they have noticed that there is a correlation between His prayer life and His ministry. They have witnessed His power to heal the sick and His authority over evil spirits. They have observed that after He prays, He has power to perform miracles and multitudes follow Him because His teaching is so powerful and full of wisdom. Their observation has led them to believe and know that if they can pray like He prays, they can do what He does. Therefore, when Jesus concludes praying, they came to Him and asked,
Teach us how to pray …"
Jesus, because He also knows that their is a direct correlation between an individual’s prayer life and power and authority to do Kingdom work, obliges their request by giving them a model of how one should come before God in prayer and what should be requested. Jesus instructs His followers to first, come to God in relationship, as a child to a father. Thus, Jesus says, when you pray say our Father.
Jesus teaches, after addressing God based your relationship with Him, acknowledge where He resides, who lives in heaven.
Then declare His righteousness and glory, hallowed be your name.
After the initial acknowledgement of God and honor due Him, then you make your request, Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
This statement and request are the bases of everything else ask in the prayer. Jesus teaches His followers what is and ought to be the first and most important, most essential thing to ask of God and desire for one’s life, Your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
To Jesus, this is what matters most and this is what God desires, to have His will done on earth as His will is performed in heaven. Jesus concludes His teaching on how to pray and what to petition God for by telling His disciples to acknowledge whose Kingdom it is they are partitioning God on behalf of, For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
This statement is a testimony. It is a declaration made by the children of God that there is no greater King and no greater Kingdom than the Kingdom of God. All the power, dominion and authority belongs to God and is found in His Kingdom. "For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
