The kingdom of God/heaven is the only realm in which God’s will is fulfilled.

giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light.

Colossians 1:13(NIV)

It is only through the new birth that anyone can enter and see the kingdom of God/heaven.
No-one can enter the kingdom of God/heaven in his/her own righteousness, wisdom, status, riches or strength.
The new birth is experienced when one comes to the Lord humbly and trustingly as a child.
To be a ‘natural’ citizen of any kingdom, one needs to be born into that kingdom.
To be a citizen of the kingdom of God/heaven, one needs to be spiritually born into His kingdom!

They do not live making ‘cheap talk’; they demonstrate the power of the King’s grace and love.
For the kingdom of God/heaven is within them.
The kingdom of God/heaven is their first priority!
They do not try to keep to religious rules and regulations in the power of the flesh.

Thus they have a right standing before the King (Rom.2:22).
They have peace with Him (Rom.5:1).
And they rejoice always in the Spirit (Phil.3:3).
They are in the kingdom;the kingdom is in them;and they are the kingdom!
The only word that counts in and for the kingdom of God/heaven is the word of God, the bible (Matt..5:17-18).
Through the bible,the citizens of the kingdom of God/heaven know and exercise their privileges and responsibilities while on Planet Earth.
The only One needed to accomplish anything in the kingdom of God/heaven is the Spirit of God (Zech.4:6).
Therefore the citizens of the kingdom of God/heaven need to be filled with Him always(Eph.5:18)!

The citizens of the kingdom of God/heaven who overcome in this world enter into the eternal phase of the kingdom of God/heaven.
These overcomers are those who have fulfilled their divine destiny in this life!
This is the good news of the kingdom of God/heaven-the 'realm of destiny'!!!
