Morning by Morning, June 15, 2026 — “This Gospel of the Kingdom” where Jesus Rules and Reigns as King of Kings and Lord of Lords in Every Area of Our Hearts
Good morning, Lord Jesus. King of Kings and Lord of Lords, come rule and reign in my heart and every moment of my day. …
“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come” (Matthew 24:14).
You were asked by Your first disciples when the end would come and what would be the sign of Your coming (v. 3). You answered with many details—many details we are beginning to see today, in increasing measure:
Deception, “wars and rumors of wars,” “nation (rising) against nation, and kingdom against kingdom,” “famines, pestilences, and earthquakes,” followers of Christ being “delivered up to tribulation” and death and “hated by all nations for (Your) name’s sake,” while “many will be offended” and “betray one another” and “hate one another,” as “lawlessness will abound” and even “the love of many will grow cold” (v. 4-12). But in both a warning and an encouragement by the power of the grace of God at work within the hearts of all who believe and trust in You through whatever we endure, You declared, “But he who endures to the end shall be saved” (v. 13).
In this context, You declared Your Promise of one of the greatest signs of the end times: “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come” (Matthew v. 14).
Thank You for letting us be alive at this time when Your gospel of the kingdom is being preached in all the world! Whether we are the ones to go, the ones to pray, or the ones to supply the resources, we get to be a part of this great end-time move of Your Spirit in our world!
“This gospel of the kingdom” includes salvation. It begins with salvation. It’s founded upon salvation. For no one can enter this kingdom without salvation. By grace through faith are we saved—not by any of our works or the goodness of our ways (Ephesians 2:5). It’s by believing in our heart that God the Father raised You from the dead and confessing with our mouths “Jesus is Lord” that we are saved (Romans 10:9). And yet “this gospel of the kingdom” is more than the gospel of salvation.
“This gospel of the kingdom” is the calling to know You as our Savior but also as our Lord, to know we’re forgiven of our sins but also fully surrendered to Your authority in every area of our lives as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. It’s to know we’re going to heaven when we die, but also embracing heaven in us now. It’s not just be blessed by God but also being possessed by God. All of us—fully committed, fully surrendered—to all of You. Holding nothing back. Loving You and obeying You with all our heart and mind and soul and strength. Because You deserve nothing less.
This kingdom of God is within us (Luke 17:21). This kingdom of God is “righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” (Romans 14:17).
Before the end will come, You will have a people on this earth who love You and serve You like that. We will move with the power and authority of the mighty name of Jesus in our words and prayers and proclamations. And at the same time, we will move with the purity and devotion and intimacy of the character of Jesus in our hearts.
We will truly be Your “ambassadors for Christ” in our world (2 Corinthians 5:20) because we’ve let Your Spirit refine us in Your Fire and develop Your character in our hearts (Romans 8:29; 1 John 4:17; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Matthew 10:24). We will be able to declare the truth of our hearts that each of us “have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me” (Galatians 2:20).
Yes, Lord. Let “this gospel of the kingdom” be lived in me, be proclaimed in me, and be proclaimed through me and all who fully surrender all they have and all they are completely to You to the ends of the earth. This is the gospel of the kingdom You deserve to see proclaimed in every nation in all the world. You deserve nothing less than the hearts and souls of a people fully committed, fully surrendered to You like that. First, by the power of Your grace at work within us, by the power of Your Spirit moving in us, we come to the end of ourselves. And then the end will come. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
