Many mix principles which ought not be mixed. This is an aim to highlight and make plain at least one or two of these which are simple yet momentous.
At first glance, many if not most will likely question this, but everyone who understands the principles of God’s Kingdom will shortly recognize the truth here.
Those in Christ belong only and fully to the ultimate & only superior Kingdom which is the Kingdom of God and of His Messiah.
While we as these yet live in this world, we belong and follow only the principles of the Kingdom of Heaven. This Kingdom has overcome and subsumes all the kingdoms of this world. So, we are able to live and function in the world and in the world systems with far greater eternal wisdom than those in the world so long as we remain committed in heart and word and deed to the principles and truths of the Kingdom of God. We are able to excel in the mastery of subservient kingdoms and even to master principles of these subservient kingdoms even for developing excellence and success within those subservient kingdoms. However, we must never allow the principals of greed and corruption and lust, which are the prevailing corrupt principals of all the world systems, to infect us at all in any way.
In this way, by God’s grace and favor, there are seasons in which God may grant and even guide His chosen servants to function with great favor and wisdom, success and diligence in positions and places that appear to be in world systems. However, the prevailing principals of the Kingdom of Heaven NEVER become what the prevailing money driven principals of the world systems are.
The children of the Kingdom of God ought to win friends with unrighteous mammon. However, all who become friends with unrighteous mammon itself are no longer children of the Kingdom of Heaven. Rather, they have become children of the evil one, friends of the world systems and enemies of Shaddai.
Another good one, Randy!!
