Some years ago, when I began to study and listen to the message of the Kingdom of God, I could hardly figure out how one could be influenced bythe Kingdom. But as I intensify the study haven recognise the fact that my ministry centers on it, I came to a deep awareness of how one could be total influenced by the kingdom of God.
One thing you must understand about the kingdom of God before any other is the nature of the kingdom.
Jesus gave us a powerful insight to the nature of the King of the Kingdom who is God. He said, God is Spirit (John 4: 23 - 24). This means the nature of where He dwells is spiritual. This greatly agrees with what Paul said about the Kingdom. He said, "but the kingdom is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit". This means that, the kingdom is in the Spirit.
Where you see the Holy Spirit, you definitely see the Kingdom of God. I am not talking about the nature of the kingdom in the post, but its influence.
Now, if the kingdom is in the Spirit of God, then the influence o the Holy Spirit of God over a life, environment signifies the influence of the kingdom. This is why Paul said, "be not drunk with wine wherein is excess but be filled with the Holy Spirit". Being filled with the Holy Spirit here means to be controled, influenced, led and directed by the Holy Spirit. When this is done, then you are under the influence of the kingdom.

CHOSEN BY GOD'S LOVE
John 3:16 (NKJV) "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
The word love, such a loosely word used today, that many have really elapsed the accurate meaning of such a powerful four letter word. Some declare it's what you do and others utter its how you act. Whatever you think love is you will never find a love like God's love.
God so loved the world that He choose us to give His only begotten Son. To be chosen is to be one who is the object of choice or of divine favor, an elect person, selected, and preferred for a certain and divine purpose. An object is something that when viewed stirs a particular emotion, something toward which thought, feeling, or action is directed; it's a cause for attention or concern.
When God looks at us it stirs His emotion of Love and compassion that's why He forgives us and He directs His blessing down upon us. WHY, because we are chosen and are the cause for His attention and concern. God's Love is not like man's love; we didn't have to do anything to earn it, He doesn't take it away from us when we mess up, He's not waiting on us to love Him before He loves us, and His love is unconditional.
This unconditional love that God has for us is called A'GAPE. A'GAPE love chooses its object, regardless of the condition of the entity because God is not in relationship with us because of what we have. He created us with tender love and care.
God loves you no matter how you look, where you are, in spite of your present situation and circumstances. The Father desires to share His love with His people in good times, in bad times, during hard times, within a recession or not. Max Lucado once said: "If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If he had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, he'll listen." That's just how much love God has for each of us.
No matter what state this devotion finds you in whether happy or sad dwell on God's love, it's everywhere. Look at the flowers outside they represents His love, the moon at night and the sun during the day represents His love. The next breath you take represents God's love.
Remember you have been chosen by the unconditional love of God.
