THY KINGDOM COME | SONS OF THE KINGDOM | APOSTLE GIDEON ODOMA | LEKKI BELIEVERS CONVENTION

Overview

This video is a sermon at the “Lucky Believers Convention” centered on the theme “Thy Kingdom Come.” It teaches how believers should understand and live the Kingdom of God now, while also recognizing that the Kingdom will come in fullness in the future.

Core Message: Spiritualize the Natural to Live Supernaturally

The preacher begins with a foundational claim:

You can only bring the supernatural into the natural by first spiritualizing the natural.

The Kingdom of God is presented as something to be demonstrated in everyday life, not only in overtly “spiritual” environments.

Jesus and the “Gospel of the Kingdom”

The sermon argues that Jesus preached the gospel of the kingdom, not merely salvation in a general sense.

• Mark 1:14–15 is used to show that when John the Baptist was imprisoned, Jesus began preaching “the gospel of the kingdom of God.”
• This moment is framed as a key transitional point in God’s dealings with humanity.

The church is also described as part of God’s strategy to advance the Kingdom:

• Jesus builds the church
• and gives “the keys of the kingdom,” connecting church mission to Kingdom purpose (Matthew 16 is referenced).

“Already” and “Not Yet” Kingdom Tension

A major emphasis is the Kingdom’s dual reality:

• Already present: God’s rule is active, and believers can “taste” Kingdom reality now.
• Not yet complete: the Kingdom’s final consummation remains future.

The sermon warns against extremes, especially “over-realized eschatology”—the view that everything is already fully arrived and nothing remains to come.

Believers are encouraged to hold the tension God built into Scripture: Kingdom “here(ness)” and Kingdom “futurity.”

Why “Let Your Kingdom Come” Still Makes Sense

Using Psalm 145 and Daniel 4, the sermon argues that God’s Kingdom is:

• everlasting
• pervasive (God rules across generations)

Yet believers still pray “Thy kingdom come” because:

• God’s providential rule does not mean the Kingdom’s ultimate reality has fully broken in.
• Believers must respond to God’s unfolding plan with responsibility—not passivity (“God is sovereign” paired with active participation).

Daniel 2: The Future Kingdom “Breaking In”

Daniel 2 (the stone “cut without hands”) is used to distinguish present kingdoms from the coming Kingdom.

The coming Kingdom is not portrayed as:

• an evolution or improvement of existing systems

Instead, it breaks in from outside, dismantling current powers and establishing a new order marked by:

• righteousness
• peace
• joy in the Holy Ghost

Practical Kingdom Mission: Instantiating “Foretaste”

A key theme is that believers should not only declare the Kingdom is coming—they should provide miniature displays of it now:

• creating “Kingdom normality” (what life looks like when sin has not disrupted reality)
• helping people become citizens of the Kingdom by offering a foretaste of what is to come

Matthew 13 Parables: Wheat and Tears Until the Harvest

From Matthew 13, especially:

• the sower (seed = the word of the Kingdom; different kinds of soil represent different responses)
• the wheat and tears (wheat and tears grow together until “the harvest”)

The sermon stresses:

• wickedness and righteousness coexist in this age
• believers should not expect immediate extermination of “tears”
• Kingdom advancement depends on growth and faithfulness until harvest/end of the age

“Markers” of the Kingdom: Healing and Deliverance

Using Luke 9 and Luke 10, the sermon notes that Jesus sent disciples to:

• preach the Kingdom
• heal the sick

Luke 11:20 is used as a “marker”:

• when evil spirits are cast out by the finger of God, it shows the Kingdom has come near

So, the Kingdom is evidenced with tangible spiritual power—especially through healing and deliverance.

Growth as Strategy (Not Passivity)

The sermon repeatedly concludes that believers should focus on growth, warning against becoming:

• passive
• jealous
• complacent

It also challenges Christians who withdraw from cultural, scientific, or technological spaces, arguing that the church has historically contributed to building such systems. Believers are encouraged to reclaim influence in “different fields,” including:

• social spaces
• online platforms

These are framed as real-world arenas of spiritual battle now.

Closing Prayers and Declarations

The service ends with strong altar-call language, including:

• prayers and declarations that sickness/disease should leave
• claims of healing “from head to toe,” including healing for specific conditions
• empowerment benedictions such as:
  • strength for battle
  • teaching for war (hands/fingers/feet emphasized)
  • setting people on “high places”
• encouragement to rejoice in the Kingdom and grow, with an explicit call to refuse spiritual “infantilism” and enforce Kingdom life
