What does it truly mean to enter the kingdom of God? This powerful exploration of 2 Peter 1 reveals that while salvation qualifies us for the kingdom, our entrance into its fullness is progressive and conditional upon our response. We discover that God has lavishly supplied everything we need—His divine power, the knowledge of Him, His glory and goodness, and exceeding great promises—all designed to make us partakers of His divine nature. Yet here's the transformative truth: God requires our partnership. We're called to 'add to our faith' with all diligence, building upon our initial belief with virtue, knowledge, self-control, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love. This isn't about earning salvation but about actively participating in kingdom life. The Greek word 'epikhorēgeō' beautifully illustrates this—like a wealthy benefactor who underwrites an entire production, God backs our spiritual growth with unlimited resources. When we supply the effort to grow in these graces, God abundantly supplies our entrance into kingdom realities. This isn't just about heaven someday; it's about experiencing kingdom authority, power, and favor right now. The challenge confronts us: are we merely going through religious motions, or are we intentionally cultivating the character of Christ that grants us access to the very power and presence of God in this critical hour?

When we are facing a problem, the key to being strong in the Kingdom lies in the fact that one is already pregnant with the answer to the problem. Sometimes the size of the problem we face serves as an indication of the scope of the sacrifice He wants from us to bring forth his answer. When we are called of God, we should expect resistance and having to fight, since these things serve to build and strengthen our faith. In this process of growing our faith the resistance is that which comes from the enemy and the protein of strength which we need is the Word of God. We are now at the time where we are to stop looking back to revivals in the past. It is time for a new revival, a fresh anointing, a fresh word, fresh wisdom. God is covering people, and moving through them, who are in his service, not for themselves, but for his Kingdom. We need to be set apart, denying the flesh and living in and through revelation from the Spirit, constantly being high on the Most High. It is important to stay vigilant that we do not misuse God’s gift and start to operate in it without God’s anointing like Samson did, lest it becomes our greatest enemy, ending up destroying us. We need to live with honesty, without fakery, strong in the Spirit, serving, and walking in- and manifesting the real supernatural light of God. Do not allow that which makes you strong to destroy your life but stay with your first love for God.
