The Kingdom of God Will Be Given to Another”

The Kingdom of God Will Be Given to Another”

Scripture: Matthew 21:43 – “Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it.”


Introduction

Jesus warned that the Kingdom of God could be taken from those who fail to bear fruit and given to those who will. This isn’t just spiritual talk—it applies to our businesses, relationships, and daily life in the physical world.

Let’s see how this works in practical terms.


1. The Kingdom in the Spiritual Realm

Spiritually, bearing fruit means living by God’s principles: integrity, faithfulness, and love.

Example:

  • Imagine a church leader who has influence but is dishonest in his personal life. People may respect him for what he does, but spiritually, he becomes unfruitful. His opportunity to expand God’s Kingdom is limited.

  • Contrast this with a humble believer who serves quietly, prays faithfully, and invests in mentoring younger believers. Their “spiritual business” grows, producing fruit that lasts.

Application: Ask yourself: Are your spiritual practices just routine, or are they producing fruit — love, patience, and wisdom?


2. The Kingdom in Business

Business is a real field where Kingdom principles can shine. God values stewardship, honesty, and service.

Practical Example:

  • A shopkeeper could cheat on measurements to make more profit. He gains temporarily, but loses trust, and eventually the business fails. The Kingdom influence is lost.

  • Another shopkeeper runs his business fairly, pays employees well, gives discounts to those in need, and invests profits in community projects. His business grows sustainably, and he becomes a channel of blessing.

Lesson: Profit is temporary, but Kingdom fruit — trust, impact, and blessing — lasts. God entrusts business opportunities to those who manage them with integrity.


3. The Kingdom in the Present (Physical) World

The physical world is where faith meets action — in families, neighborhoods, markets, and communities.

Practical Example:

  • A young professional keeps all their earnings to enjoy personally, ignoring family and community needs. They may gain materially, but the Kingdom impact is limited.

  • Another professional shares resources, mentors others in their field, supports local schools or churches, and balances work with family care. Their influence multiplies.

Lesson: Investing in people and relationships in the present world is Kingdom work. Every honest deal, kind word, or mentorship is a seed that produces fruit.


Conclusion

Jesus’ message is clear: the Kingdom is entrusted to those who bear fruit. That fruit is visible in three areas:

  1. Spiritually: Faithfulness, integrity, love.

  2. In Business: Honest dealings, stewardship, service.

  3. In the Physical World: Investing in relationships, community, and responsibilities.

Call to Action:

  • Examine your spiritual life: Are you producing spiritual fruit?

  • Examine your business: Is it Kingdom-minded or self-centered?

  • Examine your physical life: Are your actions sowing seeds of blessing?

Remember: God entrusts the Kingdom to those who act, invest, and bear fruit — not those who are lazy, selfish, or unfaithful.

Practical Takeaway: Start today. Pick one area — spiritual, business, or physical — and take one tangible action that produces Kingdom fruit.
