Connecting Heart, Building His Kingdom G EDITOR’S NOTE TO READER reetings in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! It is with great joy and deep gratitude that I welcome you to this special edition of The Kingdom Connection. As we continue on this journey together, I am reminded of the power that comes from true connection—connection with God, connection with each other, and connection to the greater purpose that He has called us to in His Kingdom. This magazine was created to serve as a platform where you, our beloved readers, can find inspiration, encouragement, and practical tools to navigate your walk of faith. Whether you are new to the faith or have been walking with Christ for years, our goal is to help you grow deeper in your relationship with God, understand the fullness of His Kingdom, and empower you to live out your divine calling. As we explore the vastness of God’s Kingdom in these pages, we are reminded that the Kingdom of God is not just something we wait for in the distant future, but it is something that is alive and present here and now. It is a Kingdom of love, grace, power, and hope— where we are all called to be active participants, spreading the good news of Jesus Christ and living out His principles on earth. Each article, each testimony, and each story in this magazine is designed with you in mind—whether it’s a word of encouragement, a challenge to grow, or a testimony of God’s faithfulness. We are living in a world that desperately needs the light of Jesus Christ, and as members of His Kingdom, we are called to be that light. It’s not just about personal transformation; it’s about seeing our communities, our nations, and the world around us transformed by the love and power of God. This is what The Kingdom Connection is all about—coming together, learning from one another, and supporting each other as we fulfill our calling to advance God’s Kingdom. I pray that as you read through this edition, you will be encouraged, refreshed, and inspired to live with purpose and passion for the Kingdom. We are all part of this beautiful family of God, and together, we can make a powerful impact. May this edition of The Kingdom Connection be a blessing to you and a reminder that God’s Kingdom is within us, and His plans for us are always good. In His love and service. Psalms 96:3 NKJV Declare His glory among the nations. His wonders among the people. ARISE IN PRAYER AND MAKE YOUR PRESENCE FELT 1 Peter 5:8 NKJV “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” L ions roar because they want to claim a territory They roar because they want to keep intruders away They also roar to instill fear on their possible attackers It’s important as a son and daughter of God to arise in prayer and make your presence felt. Your enemy must know that your territory is already occupied, so make your mark. Keep the fire in your altar burning. Remember that Your prayers are a distraction in the enemy camp, therefore intensify prayer and be the one to keep intruders away. We have not been given the spirit of fear, so do not fear a roar that can be heard miles away. Gather your strength, be sober and be vigilant. You are an overcomer and a Victor in Christ Jesus. So put on your full armor as a soldier for Christ and fight a good fight of faith. Blessings. More Grace
