So we should be thankful because we have a kingdom that cannot be shaken. And because we are thankful, we should worship God in a way that will please him. We should do this with respect and fear.

The attitude of gratitude is embraced by someone who has experienced the grace and mercy of God. Every encounter with God is certain and makes a person not forget God’s touch; his lifestyle becomes a worship toward the Living God!

The Kingdom of God resembles God’s nature—He is immovable, unshakable, and resilient. Thus, when we relate well with God, our faith reflects the characteristics of God. The Psalmist in Psalm 125:1 says, “Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion. They will never be shaken. They will continue forever.” Mount Zion signifies eternal endurance—our faith unwavering, to take us into eternity with God. It will be a beautiful sight: that your faith endured hardships, harsh treatment and all sorts of persecution, because you were resilient, and by trusting God, you defeated the enemy!

Beloved, our Kingdom is unbreakable! We belong to a kingdom like no other! In all the ups and downs of life, we are assured that “Those who trust in the LORD will never be shaken.” In Hebrews 12:27, the author elaborates that “The words ‘once again’ clearly show us that everything that was created will be destroyed—that is, the things that can be shaken. And only what cannot be shaken will remain.” This is remarkable, because we are secure in the Kingdom! Being in Christ (Romans 8:1) is like being inside the Ark of Noah! We are saved amid stormy conditions, and there is peace that surpasses our understanding!

That is why the followers of Jesus Christ are to invite everyone to come to the unshakable Kingdom, where love, forgiveness, grace, and mercy and the fruit of the Spirit govern all who come in! May your faith become firm in Christ and may you pursue the deeds of faith until the return of Christ! Remain unshakable, remain in Christ, and invite others to be part of the unshakable Kingdom!
