In this powerful message, Pastor Dele Osu-Makinde explains that the true essence of being born again is to see the Kingdom of God and actively participate in its takeover strategy.
Seeing is Key: The ability to see and comprehend the Kingdom is as vital as the experience itself; it's difficult to lead a person beyond their current sight or revelation. The purpose of Jesus's coming was to inaugurate the Kingdom of God so that the kingdoms of this world could be consequently absorbed (Revelation 11:15).
The Enemy as a Tool: A core concept is that once the Kingdom configuration is established, the enemy ceases to be a true threat and becomes a tool for advancing God's Kingdom. The devil, who is described as a king without a truly organized kingdom (a kingdom divided against itself), is reduced to an insignificant entity.
Worship and Mindset: The only way the devil gains power is when believers empower him through disobedience or by worshipping him—which is defined as allowing his thoughts and suggestions to undermine the Kingdom of God in one's mind. Repentance is simply the act of changing the way you think to align with the Kingdom.
The Power of Kingdom Mindset: The Kingdom is defined as the rulership of God in the affairs of men. The strength of the Spirit's manifestation in a believer's life depends on their understanding of the Kingdom—the curriculum of the Kingdom is the Scripture. The shift from operating the power of the Spirit for selfish ends to aligning with God's will is achieved by seeking the Kingdom mindset first.
Harvest and Preparation: The message concludes with a focus on preparation for harvest. Sowing and scattering the Word (confessing the Word) is crucial for activating Kingdom thought and moving toward the harvest season. The "night season" is a time to acquire knowledge (the "sickle for harvest") and build the capacity needed for the coming increase, avoiding the danger of losing the harvest due to lack of preparation. Obedience must be all or none, requiring a divorce from the old identity to fully embrace the new status the Kingdom brings.
