KINGDOM LIVING

I am writing this blog from Auckland, New Zealand. The weather in Auckland for the past week has been beautiful. The sky is blue and the sun is warm. This is my fourth visit to this wonderful city. I enjoy visiting New Zealand and seeing the Soh family.

Facts about Auckland

The Auckland metropolitan area or Greater Auckland, in the North Island of New Zealand, is the largest and most populous urban area in the country with over 1.3 million residents, 31 percent of the country's population. Demographic trends indicate that it will continue to grow faster than the rest of the country. Increasingly cosmopolitan, Auckland also has the largest Polynesian population of any city in the world,and has seen many people of Asian ethnicity move there in the last two decades.

Video of Auckland

I did a video on top of Mount Eden in Auckland. It is such a beautiful place because it overlooks the whole city and the sea (See video).

Here are some photos taken in Auckland....

Kingdom Living

In my devotion today, I read Romans 14:17 with a fresh insight. I believe God wants us to have "Kingdom Living" so that we can enjoy "Kingdom blessings". When we live for the kingdom of God, we will experience righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Romans 14:17 (New International Version)

17For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,

We will also experience the power of God in our lives (Romans 15:19). Apostle Paul lived for the kingdom of God and he demonstrated the power of God through the Holy Spirit. God used Apostle Paul to performed signs and miracles.

Romans 15:19 (New International Version) by the power of signs and miracles, through the power of the Spirit. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.

When we live for God, He is able to work through us. It was great to see a lady with blurred vision get healed by God. A student with a painful wrist was also healed along with an African man, who received healing of a year-old knee injury at Sunday service in Auckland, New Zealand. Let's live for Christ.
