, "Values of the Kingdom of God," highlights the character and lifestyle that God desires for His people.

1. Righteousness
Scripture: Romans 14:17 (TLB)
The Kingdom of God is not about outward rituals but about living right before God.
Righteousness means being in right standing with God through Christ and reflecting His holiness in our daily lives.
A righteous life becomes a testimony to others.

Jesus gives a peace that the world cannot offer.
Kingdom people remain calm and confident even during storms and challenges.
God's peace guards our hearts and minds.

Love is the greatest evidence that we belong to Christ.
Kingdom love is patient, kind, forgiving, and selfless.
We are called to love God and love people unconditionally.

Faith pleases God.
Faith trusts God's promises even when circumstances seem impossible.
Noah's obedience demonstrates that faith produces action.

6. Humility
Scripture: Matthew 5:3-5 (NKJV)
Humility is recognizing our dependence on God.
The humble receive God's grace and favor.
Jesus is our perfect example of humility.

Jesus came not to be served but to serve.
Kingdom citizens use their gifts to serve others in love.

Sunday Service of Values of the Kingdom of God|| First Preaching Minister Noluthando

Theme: "The Vision Beyond the Battle"
Scripture: 2 Kings 6:11–17

1. Great Anointing Attracts Great Battles
Elisha carried the mantle of Elijah.
Greater responsibility and greater anointing often bring greater opposition.
The level of attack can reveal the significance of your assignment.
Do not be discouraged by battles; they may indicate that God is doing something significant in your life.

2. The Battle Belongs to God
Elisha was not afraid because he knew God was in control.
Many struggles become heavier when we try to fight them in our own strength.
God fights for His people when they trust Him.
Scripture: Exodus 14:14
"The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace."

3. Serve Faithfully
Elisha first served Elijah before leading others.
Faithful service prepares us for greater assignments.
God often promotes servants before He promotes leaders.

4. God Uses People for Kingdom Purposes
God was not only dealing with Elisha but with the destiny of a nation.
When God calls you, your purpose is bigger than yourself.
Your obedience can impact families, communities, and nations.

5. Be Careful How You Speak About God's Anointed
The king's plans were revealed to Elisha because God was with him.
We should respect God's servants and God's work.
What God reveals cannot be hidden from Him.

6. Your Vision Determines Your Victory
Elisha saw what his servant could not see.
The servant saw the enemy; Elisha saw God's protection.
Fear focuses on problems; faith focuses on God's power.
Scripture: Proverbs 29:18
"Where there is no vision, the people perish."

7. See Yourself Through God's Eyes
Negative vision produces negative results.
See yourself as God sees you—called, chosen, and victorious.
God has designed you for greatness.

8. We Need Vision and Provision
God gives vision before provision.
When God reveals His plan, He also provides what is needed to accomplish it.
Trust God's process and timing

Theme: Dealing With This Kind

Scripture Reference: Matthew 17:21 (NKJV)
Isaiah 58:6-12 | Mark 9:29 | Joel 2:12

There are certain battles in life that do not respond to ordinary effort, natural wisdom, or casual prayer. They require a deeper level of spiritual authority, one that is activated through prayer and fasting. Jesus revealed this truth to His disciples when they encountered a situation they could not overcome. It was not a lack of power in God, but a lack of spiritual depth in them. The scripture tells us that some situations are “this kind,” meaning they are stubborn, resistant, and spiritually rooted. They will not move just because you are emotional, or because you desire change. They move when a believer steps into a higher level of consecration through prayer and fasting.

This Fasting is not a punishment; it is a positioning. It is the believer telling the flesh to sit down so the spirit can rise. Prayer without consecration can become words without weight. But when prayer is strengthened by fasting, it becomes a weapon of breakthrough. God is calling His children back to spiritual discipline. Not just desire for breakthrough, but willingness to pay the spiritual price.

Prophetic Action:
Set aside time to seek God in prayer and fasting. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any “this kind” situation in your life and commit it into His hands. Surrender distractions and intentionally pursue spiritual sensitivity over physical comfort.

Rescue me from every evil plan and attack against my destiny.
Let every trap set against me be destroyed by the power of God.

The Kingdom of God

Main Scripture:
Mark 1:14-15
"The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel."

1. Why Is There a Kingdom of God?
The Kingdom of God exists because God is King. From the beginning, God created humanity to live under His rule, authority, and blessing. The Kingdom of God is the manifestation of God's power, righteousness, peace, and salvation on earth.
Jesus came to announce and establish God's Kingdom among people. Through His life, death, and resurrection, He opened the way for mankind to return to God's rule.

Isaiah 61:1-6 reveals the purpose of the Kingdom:
To preach good news to the poor.
To heal the brokenhearted.
To proclaim freedom to captives.
To restore what has been broken.
To reveal God's favor.
Jesus confirmed this mission when He read from Isaiah in Luke 4:16-21, declaring that the prophecy was fulfilled in Him.

2. What Makes Us Part of the Kingdom of God?
A. Repentance
Mark 1:15 (TLB)
Jesus' first message was repentance. Repentance means turning away from sin and turning toward God.
B. Faith in Jesus Christ
We enter God's Kingdom by believing the Gospel and accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior.
C. Seeking God First
Matthew 6:33 (NKJV)
"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."
Being part of God's Kingdom means making God our first priority above everything else.
D. Living Under God's Authority
Citizens of the Kingdom obey God's Word, follow His ways, and represent His character on earth.

3. The Evidence of the Kingdom of God
Isaiah 35:3-5
When God's Kingdom is present:
Weak hands are strengthened.
Feeble knees become strong.
Fear is replaced by courage.
The blind see.
The deaf hear.
The Kingdom brings restoration, healing, miracles, and transformation.

4. Benefits of Being in the Kingdom
According to Isaiah 61:1-6:
Healing for the brokenhearted.
Freedom from bo***ge.
Joy instead of mourning.
Beauty instead of ashes.
Divine favor.
Restoration and rebuilding.
A new identity as God's people.

Conclusion
The Kingdom of God is not merely a future destination; it is God's rule and reign in the hearts of His people today. Jesus came to establish this Kingdom and invite everyone into it. To become part of God's Kingdom, we must repent, believe the Gospel, seek God first, and live under His authority

The Power of God's Presence
Text: Joshua 1:5–11
"As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you." (Joshua 1:5)

Introduction
Today I want to speak about the Power of God's Presence.
Not the presence of problems.
Not the presence of fear.
Not the presence of loss.
But the Power of God's Presence.

The book of Joshua is a book of conquest, inheritance, and taking possession. The children of Israel were about to inherit a promised land. In the New Testament, Ephesians teaches us that we have inherited spiritual blessings and eternal life in Christ.
Both inheritances require one thing: courage.

1. Everything Changed Except God
Israel was facing one of the greatest transitions in its history.
Moses was dead.
Not just any leader, but Moses:
The man who spoke with God face to face.
The man who stretched out his rod over the Red Sea.
The man through whom manna came from heaven.
The man who received the Ten Commandments.
The man who led them for forty years.
Everything they knew about God had been connected to Moses.
Now Moses was gone.
The people mourned for thirty days. They were asking themselves:
"Who are we without Moses?"
Many of us have asked similar questions:
Who am I without that person?
Who am I without that job?
Who am I without that opportunity?
Who am I after this loss?
Sometimes life changes when you are almost at your breakthrough.
After forty years of walking, they were finally at the edge of the Promised Land, and suddenly Moses died.
But after the mourning period, God spoke.
"As I was with Moses, so I will be with you."

2. The Presence of God is Greater Than the Presence of Any Person
True leadership is a gift from God.
Moses was a great leader. When he lifted his hands, Israel prevailed. When he stretched out the rod, miracles happened.
But God was teaching Israel something important:
Your confidence must not be in a man; it must be in My presence.
God did not say:
"I will send another Moses."
God said:
"I will be with you."
The answer to their future was not another person.
The answer was God's presence.

3. When You Run Out of Moses, You Run Into God
Sometimes God allows us to lose what we depended on so we can discover Who He really is.
When Moses was gone, God remained.
When the leader was gone, God remained.
When the familiar was gone, God remained.
Everything may change around you, but God remains the same.
"As I was, so I will be."
God is saying:
I was faithful then, and I am faithful now.
I was your provider then, and I am your provider now.
I was your healer then, and I am your healer now.
Hebrews 13:8 says:
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."

4. Courage is Not the Absence of Fear
Three times in this chapter God tells Joshua:
"Be strong and courageous."
Why?
Because courage is needed whenever God calls you into something new.
You may be:
Scared, but going.
Broken, but going.
Uncertain, but going.
Lonely, but going.
Faith does not mean you are not afraid.
Faith means you move forward despite your fear because God's presence is with you.

5. The Greatest Promise is God's Presence
Many people focus on the land.
But the greatest promise was not the land.
The greatest promise was:
"I will be with you."
A house without God's presence is empty.
Success without God's presence is empty.
Money without God's presence is empty.
The greatest blessing is not what God gives.
The greatest blessing is God Himself.
David said:
"One thing have I desired of the Lord... that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life." (Psalm 27:4)
Seek His presence before you seek His promises.

6. Develop a Personal Relationship With God
God wanted Joshua to remain connected to Him.
That is why He told Joshua to meditate on His Word day and night.
You need:
A prayer life.
A devotional life.
A relationship with God.
Not just church attendance.
Not just knowing about God.
But knowing God personally.
When life becomes unstable, His presence becomes your anchor.

Conclusion
The message of Joshua 1 is simple:
Everything can change, but God remains the same.
People may leave.
Opportunities may leave.
Seasons may change.
But God says:
"I will never leave you nor forsake you."
So keep moving forward.
You may be afraid, but go.
You may be uncertain, but go.
You may not know what tomorrow holds, but go.
Because the same God who was with Moses is with you.

Theme: Restoration Is Not the Final Destination

Scripture Reference: Job 42:10 (NIV) | Joel 2:25–26 | Romans 8:28 | Psalms 71:20–21

Revelation:

God is a God of restoration, and this restoration is not the end but rather the beginning of a new chapter. When God restores what was either lost, broken or stolen, He is preparing you for an even greater purpose and blessing. Many believers pray only for restoration, asking God to return what they once had. While God's plans often go far beyond replacing what was lost. He does not simply bring us back to where we started, but He moves us forward into a place of greater fruitfulness, more faith and testimonies. When God restores you, He gives you more than enough, but it must not end there. Your restoration should be seen as you acknowledging the power of God, do not be the type of people who after their lives are restored they just sit down, but instead come back and glorify him who has given you restoration.

Restoration is the starting point of God’s greater purpose. When you receive restoration you need to perceive Him more and more, continue to believe in Him for more. After restoring your God wants you to serve His purpose for you. When God brings you out of a difficult season in your life, do not settle there because there are even greater riches in Christ.

Prophetic Action:
Do not stop at the place of restoration. Thank God for what He has restored, and continue pursuing His purpose for your life
