"He who is able to hear, let him listen to and give heed to what the Spirit says to the assemblies (churches) [congregations]. To him who overcomes (is victorious) I will grant to eat [of the fruit] of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God." Rev. 2:7 [Ge. 2:9; 3:24] AMP

Kingdom pursuit is kingdom living as a citizen of the highest government in the universe ... the Kingdom of God. This site is dedicated to bringing citizens to Christ and maturing them through discipling and fellowship.
It is our aim to allow you to take full part in this process as co-workers in Christ. As a dedicated, baptized, Christian you are a member of the Body of Christ with the duty and privelege of edifying his body. Thus, this ministry is yours as well as ours. We look forward to full participation from you.
Whether you are a curious seeker, a new Christian, a young Christian or a mature Christian, we will discover together, all features of the Kingdom and what it has to offer. We will internalize the answers to the the following questions:
Christianity is NOT a religion, but rather a 'way of life' as a citizen of the Kingdom. Religion came on the scene when Cain sought to worship God by appeasing him, going through the motions (ritual), in an attempt to get what he wanted. God rejected religion but accepted pure worship from Abel, who was rightly and sincerely honoring his Sovereign.
As citizens, we are also a part of the family of God. Jesus is our elder brother, the head of the Congregation. He leads and we follow. That's what it means to be righteous. Loyalty to Christ's commands. We are the Congregation of God.
When you became a citizen of the kingdom, you immediately received at least one spiritual gift or power from God through his Holy Spirit. You are to use that gift building up and edifying your brothers and sisters in the congregation. You also received a ministry. Peter put it this way: "In proportion as each one has received a gift, use it in ministering to one another as fine stewarts of God's undeserved kindness expressed in various ways". 1 Pet. 4:10 NW and again, "[Come] and, like living stones, be yourselves built [into] a spiritual house, for a holy (dedicated, consecrated) priesthood, to offer yp [those] spiritual sacrifices [that are] acceptable and pleasing to God through Jesus Christ ... But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God's] own purchased special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." 1 Pet. 2:5,9. AMP [Ex. 19:5,6.]
As a royal priest with the commission to "Go therefore and make disciples of peoples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you." Matt. 28:19, 20. NW
