Get Equipped #8: Rediscovering the Kingdom

I learned about Rediscovering the Kingdom by Myles Munroe from two people I consider to be among my primary spiritual mentors, because of how radically their ministries impacted my life—Mark Virkler and Charity Virkler Kayembe. Here is the quote from Mark and Charity’s book that introduced me to Myles Munroe:

“The heavens are the Lord’s, but the earth He has given to the sons of men” (Ps.115:16). That’s us. This is our earth that we get to make look like Heaven. In his book Rediscovering the Kingdom, the late Dr. Myles Munroe talks about how God wants to “colonize earth with Heaven.” We are the ambassadors and co-creators. We are the observers and witnesses. God has given us a part to play. He does the work. He creates the miracles and brings Heaven to Earth, but He does it with us. In us. Through us.

Myles Munroe is with the Lord today, but he left a powerful legacy in his book, Rediscovering the Kingdom. Here is a clip from the back cover:

Pastor and best-selling author Dr. Munroe unveils the reality and power of the Kingdom. You will be challenged to the core of your religious soul as you are exposed to truths seldom spoken today.

Through these teachings, the weaknesses of religion are exposed, your thinking rearranged, and your life empowered, even in these turbulent economic and political times.

Consider these two critical questions:

What is the Kingdom of God?
What is the Good News of Jesus Christ?

Maybe the status quo of traditional Christianity isn’t as spot on as we’ve been led to believe. Correctly understanding what and where the Kingdom of God is, as well as understanding the authentic Good News of Jesus Christ is essential. Rediscovering the Kingdom, by Myles Munroe unpacks answers, releases revelation, and offers wisdom to the church.

Here is one of the powerful messages Myles shares:

If the Kingdom of Heaven is so full of promise and power and provision—if it is truly such “good news”—why aren’t more people around the world rushing to get in?

. . . The Gospel of the Kingdom of God promises all of this and more, yet the vast majority of the world’s people have not discovered it, much less embraced it. Why not?

They have not heard the message of the Kingdom.

Their minds have been blinded so they cannot see the Kingdom.

They have heard the wrong message.

There are many reasons. For one thing, many people simply have not heard the Gospel because no one has preached it to them. Another reason is that Satan has blinded the spiritual eyes and deafened the spiritual ears of countless millions so that they cannot hear and understand the Gospel even when it is preached. There is a third reason that is perhaps the most serious of all: The Church is preaching the wrong message.

If you have a heart to see God’s Kingdom established Rediscovering the Kingdom by Myles Munroe is a value resource. I hope that it will bless you as much as it blessed me.
