Who was it again who once said, "Every kingdom divided against itself falls into desolation; a house divided against itself cannot stand (Matthew 12:25)? Oh, yes now I remember!
But exactly how many places can a kingdom be found? Perhaps the answer extends farther than the first thought.
Kingdom = Mind State
Jesus elaborates on this domain later by saying to Pilate "My Kingdom is not of this world, or my servants would fight … (John 18:36)”
Let’s do a little Biblical Algebra:
A Kingdom’s location = the reality of the fight (by the servants)
Where is your "Kingdom?" = wherever you truly fight.
So it is clear that everyone must fight somehow. However, what fight is the most profitable? And what fight does the Bible encourage us to engage in?
(Solve for X) "Fight the good fight of faith… (I Timothy 6:12).”
Answer: The correct battleground for man is actually inside his own mind. He must NEVER surrender his positive thoughts to any negativity. The division alone will cause everything to fall.
