Good News No achievement without oppositions

Since the beginning of the world, we have all been searching for one thing and this one thing is our purpose in life. It is a destiny where you and I want to reach. But as we all know, nothing is ever achieved without opposition or rather nothing good in life comes easy. The Bible rightly put it in the book of Matthew 11:12. From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it. And today, all of us are still in search of the kingdom.

The Bible tells us that the kingdom of heaven is “forcefully advancing.” Literarily, we say the kingdom of heaven is advancing forcefully through those who have the zeal to make it happen. Remember, people who hate the truth will hate the light and oppose what is good, because good things attract oppositions. Henceforth, we must be prepared, to oppose every opposition in any good thing we desire to achieve.

The Bible says, “Forceful men lay hold of it.” Meaning there will be a spirit or people of rebellious sprits that will oppose and attack our dream (kingdom). Meaning we must be prepared to be strong both physical and spiritual, otherwise the enemy of progress would lay hold of our dream (kingdom) and destroy it, because kingdom is a region in which something or someone has very strong influence. If today we weren’t strong enough, perhaps all the insects, reptiles, birds, rats, foxes and other wide animals would have been everywhere in our homes, because it was their kingdom our landlord invaded and built a house on it for us to occupy.

Apparently, everyone is pregnant with the good things of life. The Bible teaches that these good things live inside faith. In the book of Hebrew 11:1, we understand that, faith is the substance of things hoped for, but the evidence of things not seen. And since it is free to dream of something we hoped for such as owning big mansions, cars, aeroplanes, including having children and nice husband or wife etc. are God’s will for us. But there will always be an opposition against our wishes, because nothing good in life comes easy.

The fact that we can dream of our wishes free of charge, doesn’t mean we could have them for free. And I want us to understand that our wishes are like kingdoms in our mind, but how? Because we were built to accomplish, posses, rule and be in dominion. For a kingdom is a region in which something or someone has great influence and everyone want to dominate something. That is why many of us are usually very sad, disappointed, unfulfilled and frustrated when our wishes are proving too difficult to be reached or accomplished. For God created us to dominate our wishes and not our wishes to be dominating us.

Therefore, we must always try to be strong both physically and spiritually. Regardless the odd, we must never give up seeking what is good inside our kingdom mind set. For God commanded us in the book of Matthew 6:33, but seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things we be given to you as well. God’s kingdom on earth are the good things of life and the evil things of this world are not acceptable in his kingdom. In conclusion, as long as we are in his kingdom, seeking first what is right “righteousness” and not what is wrong “evil”, God the almighty has promised us that all our wishes we be given to us as well.
