Columbus day – the American celebration of the nation being "discovered" by Christopher Columbus, while behind the scenes Spain was quick to finalize their plan as a political maneuver to declare its dominance in the world. Columbus, was sent to the”new world” chasing the allure and promise of gold.
When a Christian' enters into the Kingdom of God, it is not a political move. It is utter and total surrender. Life ceases to exist - it is over. Having been bought with a price, the owner knows full well what is needed and is quite capable of providing it.
Sadly, many Christians are left thinking their home is new, or somehow it is their life's pursuit to explore it for riches. Too often, people want to discover this Kingdom - which has been freely given. So many Christians are consumed with the crumbs on the floor next to the masters chair, they seem to fail to notice their seat at the table with Him, where a full meal awaits.
If Christians would first learn to receive from the Lord in innocence and in simplicity, we would understand all the more what is ours and how to use it - and not be so concerned with how to obtain or access it.
