The Kingdom Principle of Co-Ruling

Episode Summary:

Imagine standing in front of God and asking, "Why are there so many problems in the world?" Now imagine God turning to you and saying, "This is why I sent you." 

This is the crux of the episode: we are co-rulers with Christ, tasked with partnering with God to bring about His kingdom on earth. 

In this episode of As In Heaven, we shoulder the weighty responsibility we carry as co-heirs with Christ, exploring the Kingdom Principle of co-ruling and what it means for believers to take action in solving the world’s problems.

Key Takeaways:

1. We are called to be co-rulers with Christ — Our role as believers is to exercise Kingdom authority and extend God’s rule on earth through our actions and decisions.
2. Faithful stewardship starts small but extends broadly — Like tending a garden, we can bring Kingdom solutions into our homes, communities, and eventually the world.
3. Kingdom authority is tied to humility and intimacy with God — Before we can rule, we must first yield our hearts fully to King Jesus.
4. Kingdom advancement involves both prayer and action — It’s not enough to pray; we are called to be active participants in bringing Kingdom solutions to the problems we see around us.
5. Healing the world begins with us — God has chosen believers to be the solution to the world's pain and suffering, empowering us to bring restoration and order in every sphere of life.
