What is a kingdom man? A kingdom man places himself under God's rulership and submits his life to the lordship of Jesus Christ. He also understands the important role his wife plays in his success. God told the Israelites, that three times a year all of their males were to appear together before Him to receive instructions from Him. Yet when God told them to appear, He specifically called them out before the “Lord God, the God of Israel.” He called them to submit themselves to His complete authority. If the men submitted, they were told that they, and those connected to them, would receive God’s covering, protection and provision. But they would receive this only if they positioned themselves under His absolute rule. So essential was this element of rulership that God used three of His names as a reminder. The Israelites were told to appear before: In using three different names for himself, God emphasized His supreme authority over the men of the nation and their accountability to Him. The same principle of God’s rulership that applied to the Israelites is no different from God’s rulership today. He is God — Lord God, God of Israel, master, supreme God, ruler and judge.

Episode Description

What is a kingdom man?

A kingdom man places himself under God's rulership and submits his life to the lordship of Jesus Christ. He also understands the important role his wife plays in his success.

God told the Israelites, that three times a year all of their males were to appear together before Him to receive instructions from Him.

Yet when God told them to appear, He specifically called them out before the “Lord God, the God of Israel.”

He called them to submit themselves to His complete authority.

If the men submitted, they were told that they, and those connected to them, would receive God’s covering, protection and provision. But they would receive this only if they positioned themselves under His absolute rule. So essential was this element of rulership that God used three of His names as a reminder.

The Israelites were told to appear before: In using three different names for himself, God emphasized His supreme authority over the men of the nation and their accountability to Him.

The same principle of God’s rulership that applied to the Israelites is no different from God’s rulership today.

He is God — Lord God, God of Israel, master, supreme God, ruler and judge.

A kingdom man, therefore, is one who places himself under God’s rulership and submits his life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

A kingdom man is a man who rules according to God’s rule.

Keep in mind, that to rule something does not refer to domination or illegitimate control.

Mankind’s misuse of the term rule through dictatorships and abusive relationships has distorted the legitimate call on man to rule under God’s sovereign rule and according to His principles.
