GOD'S KINGDOM FIRST
OUR MAJOR
KINGDOM PRINCIPLES
We, as a church ministry team, believe and aspire to practise, proclaim and uphold the following major Kingdom and Biblical Principles for Living.
A Kingdom Principle is basically a God-given, Biblical, timeless, universal, and guaranteed life-enriching way of life. Each Kingdom Principle has guaranteed life-enriching consequences when practised and guaranteed destructive consequences when neglected.
We use the clock as a summarised reminder of all those major kingdom principles that we believe, proclaim, practise and uphold:
​
THE KINGDOM PRINCIPLE OF SALVATION: (Our Kingdom-entrance principle)
​
To aspire, by the grace of God, to help to convince people to be supernaturally saved from the kingdom of darkness and enter God’s wonderful kingdom in and through Christ Jesus and inherit and experience His promised love, power and everlasting and abundant life.(The clock represents God’s invisible kingdom realm.)
THE KINGDOM PRINCIPLE OF GOD’S WILL FIRST (GK1): (Our major Kingdom principle)
​
To aspire, by the grace of God, to follow, above all, God’s revealed will for our lives and to pursue it, Spirit led, Spirit enabled, and Biblical and Kingdom-principle based.(The long arm of the clock represents this principle.)
THE KINGDOM PRINCIPLE OF GRACE: (Our second most important Kingdom principle)
​
To aspire, by the grace of God, to live and function, and serve and follow God’s will and ways, as led and enabled by the Spirit of Christ. In other words, by His GRACE alone –God’s Released Ability, Christ Enabling. (The short arm of the clock represents this principle.)
