Kingdom Order by Apostle Michael Orokpo: MP3 Download & Sermon Notes

When you are dealing with God there are many layers and many dimensions of understanding his supremacy and his sovereignty

In the doctrine of God there are two major emphases: his supremacy and his sovereignty

His supremacy

His supremacy speaks of the height where he dwells. He dwells in a realm no other creature can come up to. He is higher than the highest. He sits in a class beyond comparison.

He is all by himself in that class

It is not a claim without justification. There are two major justifications and they are found in his essence, the attributes of his being

The first dimension is his incommunicable essence: the things he has that only he possesses and cannot share. It is on the strength of this that we call him a deity, the one we worship

6 incommunicable attributes:

1. Eternal

   He is the only being with no beginning and no end. When you enter the history of God you will not find a beginning or an end

2. Immutable

   He does not change. He is ageless and does not have variances. He is absolute in his essence and in his being Malachi 3:6

   It is logical to depend on God because he does not fluctuate. His essence is constant. He is reliable and dependable

3. Self-existent

   He lives for himself. There is nothing important enough for God to live for. Nothing else can give meaning to his existence.

   He is what he chooses to be in any circumstance, and is morally correct

4. Omnipotent

   He has all power, yet power cannot corrupt him. There is no resistance that can defy his authority. He cannot be intoxicated by power.

   He has the power to put his power in check Revelation 19:6

5. Omniscient

   He knows all things. God cannot learn. You can't teach God. He is the author of knowledge and the custodian of eternal knowledge

   So long as there is any syllable of understanding, it is factored within one dimension of God Psalm 147:5, 1 Samuel 2:3

6. Omnipresent

   He is everywhere at every time in every place. God is everywhere right now, still in yesterday and already in tomorrow

   If God were extracted from any aspect of creation, creation would collapse. The reason creation is held in balance is because God is omnipresent

When you study all the spirits in the realm of God, only one spirit has this capacity, and his name is God, Elohim, Jehovah, Jesus Christ.

That is why he is the only one who qualifies to be worshiped

It is in this context that we say our God is supreme. Every other spirit is aware of it

God knows he is the only God. Every spirit knows there is one God and he is in heaven Isaiah 45:5

Even the deities our forefathers worshiped know they are not God. They were not living, so they could not say we are not God, and our ancestors worshiped them blindly

In the spirit realm there is only one God and there is no argument about him. When creation began, nobody was debating it. It is an established reality Genesis 1:1

His sovereignty

Sovereignty speaks of the authorities he commands. Authority that only he possesses, that puts him in a class where no one can challenge his power or undermine his government

4 authorities that are his alone:

1. Creator

   No matter how big you appear, you can't create anything. Even inventors need raw materials. Without raw material every other being on earth is handicapped

   The only being who can produce what he wants regardless of raw material is Jehovah. His word and his spirit are the raw material. When he started talking, creation appeared Genesis 1:3

   He is an office and only he occupies it

2. Moral lawgiver

   Even the most wicked man knows good from evil, because a law is put in everything created to tell good from evil.

   Even the one doing evil knows it is evil and that at the end of time he will be judged

   At the end of time, whether you are the king of England or the king of Morocco, all of us will line up involuntarily and be ushered to the great white throne.

   Books will be opened Revelation 20:11 to Revelation 20:12

   Only one is the monarch, only one is the judge, the Lord of all. There is no challenging his power

3. Father

   Anything that has life, the animation came from God. Trace every species back to the first and it came out of God. Without God, life does not exist.

   He authors the life force in every being on earth. He is the Abba

   God has the power to activate you and to deactivate you. Many wealthy people think life begins and ends with them until their spirit wants to come out of their body.

   Then they become helpless and start running from one place to another

   You were not consulted before you came and you will not be consulted before you depart. One who sits in the sanctuary of the heavens determines who is and who is not

   When you think you are powerful, that is when God demonstrates his Abba.

   Herod accepted an oration as a god, was struck while on the throne, and maggots came out of him Acts 12:21 to Acts 12:23

   The rich fool gathered money and said, now I will enjoy my life. That night God called him a fool.

   His spirit was pulled out of his body and he watched it depart to the one who sent it into time Luke 12:20

   All of us are intangible seeds of eternity sent into time to fulfill a celestial agenda. You didn't create yourself. Life was punctured into your vessel.

   When the time is done he will call you back and you cannot resist it

4. King

   He has a government, a dominion, a rule he wants to execute. It is within his kingship that his purpose finds meaning

   God did not create the universe to exist arbitrarily. He did not create laws and leave them without supervision. His creation, his children and his laws all find their context in the kingdom

What the kingdom is

The kingdom is the reign of the king over a domain. It is the domain of the king

A domain is made of entities and territory. Without entities and territory there can be no domain. Nigerians plus the geography called Nigeria make a nation

When the entities and the geography come under God's perfect authority, living only for his will, a kingdom appears

Their life reveals the culture of that king. Their agenda defines the desire of that king. Their resources are not their own. They are stewards pushing forth an agenda the king has in mind.

They live for him and in that they find meaning

When the kingdom of God manifests, the glory of the Lord rests. The invisible God is seen through the entities in alignment. Heaven flows through them.

The government, grace and wisdom of God find expression through them

Some things are read and other things are caught. When you enter the realm of God, certain things are studied but others are revealed 2 Corinthians 3:18

That is why a charlatan can become a veteran, a nonentity can become a governor over a territory, and a man disregarded among men can become a steward of divine intentions

Such a man begins to unveil ancient things, forgotten dispensations, seasons that bring dimension to the earth.

He has come under the rule of the king and becomes the vessel through which the king manifests his dimension

This is what the kingdom is about: the governing influence of the king

Warriors will rise from here. Veterans will rise from here

While there is a language of men there is also a language of the spirit. While there is a school of men there is also a school of the spirit

In that realm a man doesn't function by secular knowledge alone. He comes into the wisdom of the just and is given the utterance of the spirit.

He knows things beyond textbooks and communicates by an intelligence superior to what can be studied

He is given the tongue called the pen of a ready writer Psalm 45:1. His utterances can host memorials that are eternal

Illustration: the fishermen and Daniel

How did fishermen become custodians of the mysteries of God? Jesus left the wealthy, went to the river and saw unlearned men Matthew 4:19

He didn't give them literacy by human standards. He exposed them to a dimension. When John wrote, the Spirit carried him to heaven Revelation 1:10.

His writings have become the compass for how the age will end

Today no professor and no scientist can tell us how this world will end.

An uneducated fisherman carried into the school of the spirit told us how the cosmology will end, that the elements will melt 2 Peter 3:10.

He told us how judgment will come and how men will stand before the judgment seat

We value education, but there are realms that are higher. There is a place where the immortals train humans to embody dimensions of divinity, so that their manifestation becomes an expression of what is eternal

Daniel was not in the king's court and had no allowance there, but a hand wrote on the wall.

He entered without prior consultation, read handwriting that did not come from the realm of men with precision, and interpreted it Daniel 5:5 to Daniel 5:28

The kingdom is the realm celestial, immortal and eternal that God has opened for the sons of men to walk in, where virgin knowledge dwells and immortal empowerment can be configured upon men

This is your night of ascension

The protocol into the kingdom

The kingdom is open for the sons of men, but they don't sneak in. There is a protocol

4 realms of spiritual influence you must come under:

1. The life of God

   John 3:3

   The kingdom is not for hirelings. It is for those begotten by the Spirit

   You must come into the realm of divine life so that a spiritual inoculation happens, where the Zoe of divinity is invested in you. When that life enters you, 3 things happen:

   • There is awakening. You can perceive the realm and read signals from Zion. Your senses are not just eyes, ears, nose and skin. There are other senses in your spirit that are activated
   • The abilities of God are awakened. Why do angels move when some chant? Why are demons cast out when some sing? Why do healings take place when some shout?

     His voice now bears an echo from another dimension. When he screams it is no longer volume, it is a mobilization of spirit forces

   The life of God can only be transported through the gospel. Without the gospel there is no life

   The goal of the gospel is not just to deliver you from hell.

   It is to bring you into a kingdom where you function as a citizen of another government, a witness of another dispensation, an ambassador of another realm

2. The will of God

   A man in the kingdom surrenders to the will of God, because outside the will of God there is no kingdom Matthew 6:10

   If you still use your time, your money and your body the way you want, you may be called a Christian but you are not in the kingdom

   In the kingdom the Holy Ghost determines how we spend our time and our money. We don't marry because she is beautiful. We marry because she is in alignment with where God is leading us

   We have the power to surrender our appetite because there is a kingdom in view. I told my disciples, nobles don't marry for love, they marry for the kingdom.

   You may like her, but she is not going where God is leading you.

   You sacrifice that appetite because the summary of your life is the will of God

   When David served the will of God he rested with his fathers Acts 13:36. A man's life was defined by one word: will

3. The wisdom of God

   I know you have a PhD and studied in Harvard. But the knowledge from this realm is corrupt. It is the wisdom from above that is pure

   There is such a thing as the mind of Christ 1 Corinthians 2:12 to 1 Corinthians 2:14, 1 Corinthians 2:16

   The natural man has a limitation. There are things he cannot know even if he stays in the laboratory or the library, because they are spiritually designed. The spiritual man judges all things

   The keys of the kingdom are the wisdoms and principles of the kingdom Matthew 16:19.

   You need an intelligence that the sorcerer, the wicked man on the street and your colleague in government do not know

   How did Daniel survive Babylon? He had another wisdom and another understanding Daniel 5:12.

   He connected to another frequency, downloading heaven into Babylon because he came under the influence of God's wisdom

4. The authority of God

   You must come into systems of accountability where your life can be x-rayed and you are told how to live

   Some say it is my life, it is my body, and want to change their gender. You don't have that clearance. The one who created you mandated Adam and Eve.

   You don't have the power to come into time and say Adam and Steve. It is a kingdom.

   You don't do with your body what you want

   The Holy Spirit dwells in you and determines that your body must be holy 1 Corinthians 6:19

   Some say I love her, I love him, while living in a person's house fornicating, and say we love ourselves. You don't love yourselves. You are infatuated children with little or no understanding

   When you come into the kingdom you beat your body and bring it under subjection, because another government controls your life 1 Corinthians 9:27

Six designations of a citizen

When you submit to the life, the wisdom, the will and the authority of God, you are born of God and become a citizen of his kingdom. There are 6 designations you step into

1. Son

   Isaiah 9:6 to Isaiah 9:7

   You can't change Africa if you are not in the kingdom and not a son.

   You will not submit to the leading of the Holy Spirit or the dealings of God Romans 8:14, Hebrews 12:6

   God tells you to fast and you can't fast. They bring a bribe into the office and you take it, and you say we will change Africa. You don't have the power to change Africa.

   Only sons can change Africa

   It doesn't matter how many Christians are sent into government. Until sons go there, the kingdom will not be there

2. Priest

   A priest stands before God on behalf of people and brings God to the people. He is a bridge of realms who can introduce the government of heaven into a jurisdiction, a space, a context

   When a priest cries, heaven can appear. He can change climates and shift atmospheres. He can introduce the power of God anywhere he finds himself.

   He stands in the gap between God and man 1 Peter 2:9

   It has to be by priesthood that government finds expression. Our throne is not a seat. Our throne is the altar. The power of our kingship is in our priesthood.

   That is why the fire on the altar must not be put out Leviticus 6:13

   To outrun the sorcerers, the treacherous men and the soulless individuals in government, you need the power of the age to come, and only those who can ascend into Zion can touch those dimensions Hebrews 6:5

   When you come into the kingdom the laws of priesthood are superimposed on you

3. King

   Kingship is transmitted to you and you function by a scepter. Our words are not for education. Our words bring government, but it cannot happen except as we wield scepters Revelation 1:5 to Revelation 1:6

   We can go to a place and insist on the values and the dominion of God.

   If you try to violate us, something you don't know will hit you

   We come with a backing, an institution, a government beyond time, a celestial government, with an entourage of angels that dwell in light from before time. Nothing in time can intimidate them

4. Witness

   Acts 1:8

   How Do We Reconcile God's Sovereignty And Freewill? - 100 Dod Finale

   by Apostle Emmanuel Iren

   arrow_forward

   You become a proof producer. You become the embodiment of what the Bible claims. You don't go to the hospital to say God heals. You say, be healed

   You don't go to government to say our God is a wise God. When the king is confused, you tell him what to do. Counsel and power rest on your inside

   This is why the invitation is not into church but into the kingdom

When you become a son, a king, a priest, a witness, an ambassador, then we can talk about kingdom order

You are the rise of citizens, sons, priests, kings, witnesses, custodians, governors, executioners, stewards, hosts of divine possibilities.

Men that activate seasons, restore tides, and bring compliance in regions of rebellion because they carry the powers of the age to come

Illustration: Moses and Pharaoh

The book of God is the story of men who handled powers from Zion and established spiritual government on the earth

Moses grew up in Egypt, the strongest government of his generation, until he was inaugurated into the kingdom at Horeb Exodus 3.

He returned to the Pharaoh he ran from, this time as a governor, a witness, a priest and a king Exodus 5:1. Why was Pharaoh not thinking of killing him?

He didn't look like death could conquer him

When Pharaoh resisted: by this time tomorrow there will be darkness, blood, lice, frogs. Who talks like that? Do you command a constellation? When a man enters the kingdom his horn rises above the stars

Moses was altering creation and seasons. He finally said, you will not see me again. That night Pharaoh told him to carry his people, his flock and everything he wanted and leave Egypt Exodus 12:31

At the sea there were no boats. God said, why cry to me? You have become a custodian, stretch your rod Exodus 14:15. That is divine partnership

Moses was stretching the rod. God was sneezing and the sea parted Exodus 15:8

Stretch the rod over your city and governments will be overturned, corruption uprooted, systems that carry God's dimensions and ordinances will be born

It doesn't matter how old you are Psalm 8:2. It doesn't matter if you are male or female. The government of God rests on the shoulders of sons

You will walk out of this conference as a kingdom agent

Kingdom order

Kingdom order is not for children. It is for sons

Kingdom order is the divine arrangement by which God governs his realm, assigns identity and responsibility, establishes authority and rank, regulates relationships, and causes his will to be expressed according to his nature and his purpose

Kingdom order is the government of God. When it is not in place the kingdom cannot be executed according to the stratification of the spirit, and the will of God is lost in transmission

The will of God is sometimes lost because we don't allow his government in our relationships. God wants to give birth to a prophet and needs a man to marry a woman consecrated to God.

But the man is looking at botox and breast, while God is looking at womb

God has a will over a territory and tells a man to relocate to where he can draw from heaven. The man is like Lot, looking for greener pasture.

God says I need a prophet in Maiduguri, and the man says there is a job in Canada. He doesn't understand governance, so the will of God is lost in transmission

The proof that kingdom order has been established is that the will of God migrates from God's realm and finds expression where God wants it without hindrance

For that, his government must be allowed to regulate identity, relationship, responsibility, functions and functionality

Where there is kingdom order there are 14 pillars:

1. Sovereignty and lordship of God

   Everything in the kingdom derives legitimacy from the throne. If his sovereignty is not established, why surrender my relationship, my desire, my resources? I surrender everything because I see a throne.

   There is one who is sovereign, and if he desires it, it becomes the reason for my existence. So the first pillar is divine sovereignty and lordship Psalm 103:19

2. Accurate identity

   Every one of us must rediscover ourselves in God. When you come into the kingdom you strip yourself of your natural identity and adopt the identity of Zion

   Your nativity is the place of primary assignment. Your identity is what God calls you. I know I am a son, a priest, a king and a witness from that kingdom.

   The culture of the old man died the day I came into the kingdom

   Where I come from, men dominate and make women almost slaves. In the kingdom we realize we are joint heirs Romans 8:17. My wife is not my slave. She is my partner in destiny.

   I am her head, but she and I are coheirs in Christ. I treat her with respect and honor.

   What she can't do for herself that I can do without demanding it, I do it for her

   Before the ordination service she was tired and sleeping. I boiled water for her, prepared it, ironed her clothes, placed them for her and tapped her to say go and bathe, it is time.

   The old man would say, wake up, don't you know we have service? Not kingdom

   If you don't know identity you think the world revolves around you and live self-centered and wicked.

   Men go into government where money is meant for a whole territory, buy Ferraris and Lamborghinis, and have no road to drive them on or security to take them anywhere.

   The cars rot in the backyard. They have no legacy and memory among men. Some of the people we celebrate are objects of shame and reproach

   We must discover who we are relative to God and nothing else. God can tell me, empty your account into this project, or relocate from Abuja to Sokoto. There is no debate about it.

   I am the first to sow because I am a son

3. Mandates

   Things are not done haphazardly in this kingdom. Every individual has a specific assignment within a specific jurisdiction. If mandate is not isolated there can be no order. Kingdoms are regulated by assignments

   I travel from nation to nation fulfilling my mandate. Somebody else sees the sun twice a month, locked in a room praying for the deliverance of Nigeria. My ministry is not doing better than his.

   In heaven he may have more rank than me, because I can get distracted by the crowd while he is behind closed doors

   You think you are important because you shut down a stadium. You put the picture on Facebook and the next day people greet you or don't greet you well.

   You say they are not serious because you are popular, a million people follow you. You don't know kingdom order

   The one in the cocoon praying might be your father in the spirit and the reason your crusade is prospering

   Epaphras is a born servant of Christ who prayed for the Colossians Colossians 4:12. All the pastors in Colossae are sons of Epaphras. The reason their ministries succeeded was that Epaphras was praying

   When we organize meetings like this, it is not because we are smart. People who were not introduced heard about it and sent 10 million, 20 million, 100 million.

   They may not preach, but it is kingdom order. God said, my son, I have an agenda there. He is not doing it because he loves us.

   He has a mandate to sponsor divine assignments

4. Values and governing principles

   People want kingdom things but don't know they are regulated by principles

   Generosity is what opens you into abundance Proverbs 11:25. If you are not liberal and are looking for kingdom wealth, you are a thief.

   Kingdom wealth is for God's assignment. How can God give you wealth meant for crusades and nations when you only think of yourself? Becoming liberal proves you are ready to handle it

   People want promotion but are not faithful Luke 16:10

   People want honor but are not humble. They walk like peacocks and think they can get honor by manipulating people. You can't manipulate everybody at every time. For honor you must humble yourself Proverbs 16:18

   A man is not righteous but wants to be exalted Proverbs 14:34.

   You live in secret sin, act drama in public and think you will be exalted. The realm will resist you

   Service before leadership. He can't serve anybody but wants to command everybody and work his way to power. It doesn't work like that in this kingdom Matthew 23:11

   A man is not obedient yet wants power. Nobody entrusts power to a rebel. The kingdom demands obedience before you are entrusted with power

   Calling and claiming is not a kingdom thing. There are ordinances that regulate the transmission of realities in this kingdom

5. Structure and placement

   All of us cannot be in the same place. There is a stratification and you yield to God to position you where you ought to be

   If you do politics in the kingdom and fight for position and power, you are a joker. The focus that should have gone to your transformation is wasted, and those behind you will overtake you.

   If you become jealous you die of bitterness

   Jesus is preeminent. It is a realm of stratification: dominions, principalities, powers, rulers Colossians 1:15 to Colossians 1:16. It flows like that through the church

   If God does not place you in a place, don't desire it John 3:27. You fight for relevance and position and you are soon going to disappear.

   Those who get to the front in this kingdom chose the back, and God took them forward

6. Rank, authority and stature

   All of us are equal in salvation, but in the kingdom we are separated into strata.

   All of us can call the name of Jesus and lay hands on the sick, but the implication is different

   What is the depth of your revelation? The quality of your consecration? The meekness of your character? That determines what flows out of you

   In the kingdom you cannot be fake for long. The realm will fish you out, because it is a realm of rank, stature and authorities

7. Functions and responsibilities

   The kingdom is not for idle people Amos 6:1. If you will be in this kingdom you must lay your hands on the plow Luke 9:62.

   Our function brings about order and regulation

8. Jurisdiction

   You don't do things in the kingdom where you want. The president of Nigeria can't go to Ghana and declare a public holiday. They will say, sir, come, we need a diplomatic meeting.

   His rank is not affected, but his jurisdiction is compromised

   Understand your orbit and your jurisdiction

   A singer wants to prophesy and function as an apostle. Your job is to worship and bring God's presence down

   God says stay in Nigeria and serve me. You see your friend in Morocco, England or Canada and ask why your ministry is like this. Your jurisdiction is Nigeria.

   If you go to Morocco, hunger and frustration will drive you from there. The allocations for your preservation are in Nigeria, not Morocco

   A wife says we are feminist, I want to be head too. Do you have the buildup to be head? Were you engineered to be head? When there is crisis will you go first?

   When someone comes to fight at the door will you go and fight? A boy wants to act as an elder. There is jurisdiction, ordinances and statutes

   It is not hard to be powerful in this kingdom. Just understand the order. It is called alignment.

   To carry the kingdom to the market, to government and to territories you must understand the order of regulation

9. Protocols and patterns

   There are protocols and there are patterns Ecclesiastes 1:9. The ancient landmarks will stand until Jesus comes Proverbs 22:28

   The pattern of prayer will not be edited. The patterns of worship, sacrifice, loyalty, humility, commitment and service will never be edited because of you

   You must understand the cycles, patterns, ordinances and statutes of God. That is how things work in the kingdom

If a generation of giants will rise, we must understand the order and the ordinances of the kingdom

God commissions you from here as a watcher, a governor, a kingdom executioner, a pattern bearer, a witness of Zion, a custodian of the oracles of God

There are things in the heavens about to rest upon us, but the order must be kept. The glory does not rest until the patterns are kept

A generation that understands order will rise
