Kingdom Advance II; Discernment, Mystery And The Cost Of Rulership | Pastor Chingtok Ishaku | 14th. October 2025
This sermon, titled "Kingdom Advance II" by Pastor Chingtok Ishaku, explores the profound, often challenging, requirements for understanding, stewarding, and manifesting the Kingdom of God on Earth. It moves beyond traditional religious concepts to emphasize deep discernment, a changed mindset, and daily faithfulness.Key Summary Points:1. Discernment Over CommitmentThe Parable Principle: The parables of the Kingdom either add to those who have the Kingdom within them or take away from those who do not. The appearance of the Kingdom often will not respect your context and may even offend those who lack true understanding (like John the Baptist).Discernment is Core: Commitment is not enough to navigate the Kingdom's appearance; discernment is the core requirement.Purity of Breed: God will not build with a mixture of satanic and godly concepts. Pure breed means being unmixed, not just without sin. Sin has a solution, but mixing does not.2. The Nature of Kingdom Secrets and GloryMystery as Manifestation: To God, mystery is not just revelation but manifestation. The highest dimension of glory is being committed with the secrets of God (mysteries).The Cost of Mindset: Entering the Kingdom costs you everything, but the "all" you must sell is mindset, not merely money. You cannot seek the Kingdom and depend on the approval of men.Knowledge to Manifestation: Knowing the secrets of God is insufficient; you must advance to believing that knowledge until you see its manifestation. The mysteries of the Kingdom are useless if they do not lead to a revealed dimension of life that unsits a present system.3. The Son of Man's ResponsibilityThe Role of Man: The extent of God's rulership on Earth is dependent on the availability of men (the Son of Man). The authority to decide the finality of what happens on Earth is given to the son.You Permit What Happens: If anything wrong is happening on Earth, it is because you, the son of man, permitted it.The Highest Form of Flesh: Everything that opposes the Kingdom in a believer is the flesh, and the highest form of flesh is religion.Repentance is for Seekers: The word "repent" is not just for unbelievers but for kingdom seekers. Repentance means going back and changing the pattern of the building (your thoughts and beliefs) to align with God's frequency.4. Practical Kingdom LivingFamiliarity is an Enemy: You need to pray, "Lord, rid me off of familiarity with your word." You miss the essence of scripture when you approach it with what you already think you know.Authority and Service: To maintain or gain an increase in authority, you must increase service.The sermon issues a powerful warning: Do not underestimate your present-day thinking. It determines the measure of the Kingdom you can manifest.
