This concept is a deep revelation that might alter your ideology a little. In the earth today, we have all kinds of leadership concepts and styles. We have democracy, republic etc. A good understand of the kingdom stardom concept brings you into great understanding of the royal blood flowing in you. Stars in the kingdom are not religion created, rather they are relationship created. Religion is simply how that world or pagans see you. A religion is the way religious sects define what they do not understand. There are many religious institutions in the world today and regrettably numbered amongst them is Christianity. I have come to discover that God did not intend for us to be called Christians. I have always wondered why Jesus had to ask his disciples who they thought he was. Everyone else called him all kinds of name except Peter. Peter said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Matt 16:16
This was simply the identity Jesus approved of. While I was schooling in the north, I discovered that this is the greatest identity one could carry. Many Islamic scholars in the university I attended in Northern Nigeria were always upset when I called myself a son of God. It was a real bone of contention. Thank God it never resulted in clash. I believe God shielded me. My point is very simple.
Stardom in the God’s light is impossible without a true picture of your real identity. “If I am not a Christian, who then am I”? I know you might curiously desire to know. The answer is crucial to your stardom.
I start by introducing you to the kingdom. Nations today are governed by democratic or republican ideologies. In this style of governance the people or a parliament holds the power. People have power to vote in their leaders. People have power to vote out a leader. People have power to change or defend a constitution. People are a vital determining factor in these forms of leadership.
This is not the same with a kingdom. In a kingdom, all power is domiciled with the king. The people are subject to the king. This is a monarchy. People are governed by the dictates of the king. The king is the supreme head of the nation where he governs. You do not succeed the king by voting him out. Rather the king can sentence you to death for going against him – treason. All lands belong to the king. Great Britain used to be a monarchy and still has some fragments of it left, which is why it is known as the United Kingdom. But this is the kingdom of this world. This picture I just painted gives you an idea of what a kingdom is. But the truth is, the kingdom of God is slightly different.
Jesus came to earth primarily to re-introduce the concept of kingdom. The kingdom concept of this world needed to step aside for the kingdom of our God. The kingdom of God is programmed to dominate the kingdom of the earth.
The difference between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of the earth is that in the kingdom of the world, people are slaves to kings. People are called sub – jects and letter become re-jects in the kingdom of the world. A subject means that the people are below, so rising up to your full potential as a person is absolutely impossible as subject. There is an inferiority complex that exists between the people and their king. Their words don’t count.
To see the kings of the earth, you might need to book endless appointments and go through all kinds of security checks. The kings of the earth feed on the wealth of the people. People are made to perform various rituals in other to please the king and probably secure his favour. They cannot demand for their rights. They bow before the king with and trembling. Their confidence before the king can translate to treason.
The kingdom of God is in complete contrast to these. In the kingdom of God, men are not subjects; rather they are joint heirs with the king. They are in a relationship with the king. They share a common heritage with the king. Immediately you find yourself in the kingdom, you are engrafted into the lineage of the king. The king becomes your brother. Royal blood supernaturally begins flow in your blood streams.
You become a king ruled by the king of kings. This is why it is a kingdom. A kingdom of kings. Kings ruled by a king. In this kingdom, the king serves the people. The king invites the people. The king is loyal to the people. The king leaves his throne and comes out to meet with the people. The king lays his life down for the people.
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. Isa 9:6-7
As you can see, the government of this king is forever.
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. Rev 12:10
Stardom is therefore impossible without a kingdom of God mentality. You are not a Christian; you are a son of God. The world is not waiting for Christians; they are waiting for the manifestations of the sons of God. That is they are craving to see the kings manifesting on the earth.
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. Rev 5:10
As a Christian, you try to live above sin, you beg God, and you try to serve God inspite of your sickness, poverty and disease. As a Christian you live a life bounded by limitations. But this is not God’s design for mankind. He made us kings and priests and on the earth, we are programmed to govern.
As a son of God, you do not try to live above sin, you are above sin.
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remained in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 1 John 3:9
To be born of God is to be the son of God. As the son of God, you cannot commit sin because the seed of life which Adam and Eve lost in the garden is resident in you.
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 1 Peter 2:24
By his stripes you were healed. If you were healed then you can’t be sick. You just can’t be sick. I came to Christ some years ago while on Campus and not too long from then, the devil struck. I woke up one day and one of my ears stopped working. I felt a very big ball rolling in my ears. I wondered how it entered into my ears. I did everything humanly and medically possible to get it out, but to no avail. During those days also, I always experienced swollen eyes, nose and parts of my body. Yet I was a Christian and suffering from sickness.
One day I caught the light of the supernatural unction hidden in the anointing oil. So I applied it and slept. When I woke up, the ball had dissolves and all my swelling came to an end permanently. It more than thirteen years now and I have not known any kind of sickness. I had to be initiated into the kingdom life.
Christianity is all about making a demand on what belongs to you by redemption. So as a kingdom citizen, you are not subject to the manipulations of the enemy.
