YAYA Bible Passage:

📖 1 Chronicles 29:10–12 – What Did David Declare?

10 Therefore David blessed the Lord before all the assembly; and David said:

“Blessed are You, Lord God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever.

11 Yours, O Lord, is the greatness,
The power and the glory,
The victory and the majesty;
For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours;
Yours is the kingdom, O Lord,
And You are exalted as head over all.

12 Both riches and honor come from You,
And You reign over all.
In Your hand is power and might;
In Your hand it is to make great
And to give strength to all.

David acknowledged:

• God as the God of Israel (v10)

• Greatness, power, glory, victory and majesty belong to Him (v11a)

• Everything in heaven and earth belongs to Him (v11b)

• Riches and honour come from Him (v12a)

• In His hand is power and might (v12b)

🔎 Reflection: What does this reveal about God's sovereignty?

🔥 What is Omnificence?

The word omnificence refers to the unlimited creative ability of God — His power to create all things from nothing.

Genesis 1:1 establishes God as Creator:

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”

Colossians 1:16–17 further reveals that:

• All things in heaven and on earth were created by Him

• Things visible and invisible

• Thrones, dominions, principalities and powers

• All things were created by Him and for Him

• By Him all things consist (He sustains them)

God does not only create — He maintains and sustains.

🌍 Omnificence and Other Divine Attributes

God’s omnificence works together with:

• Omnipotence (All-powerful)

• Omniscience (All-knowing)

Jeremiah 10:12 and Proverbs 3:19 show that God created the earth by His power and wisdom.

His creative acts are expressions of His attributes (Romans 1:20).

🧍 Man in the Image of an Omnificent God

Although man is not omnificent, he was created in God’s image (Genesis 1:26).

This means:

• Man possesses creativity

• Man can innovate

• Man can develop ideas

• Man reflects divine intelligence

However, man can only create from what God has already created.

God creates ex nihilo (out of nothing).
Man rearranges what God has made.

📘 A. Meaning

Theos = God
Basileia = Kingdom, rule, royalty

The Kingdom of God refers to God’s sovereign rule.

👑 B. Three Aspects of the Kingdom

1️⃣ Universal Kingdom

God’s eternal sovereign rule over all creation.
(Daniel 4:3; Psalm 47:2, 7–8)

God reigns over the entire universe.

2️⃣ Mediatorial Kingdom

God works through chosen representatives to execute His will.
(Revelation 20:4–6; Revelation 21–22)

This includes:

• Prophets

• Kings

• Apostles

• Christ’s millennial reign (Revelation 20:4–6)

It connects human history to the eternal kingdom (Revelation 21–22).

3️⃣ Spiritual Kingdom

The invisible reign of God in the hearts of believers.
(Luke 17:20–21; John 3:5–7)

✔ Requires repentance (Matthew 4:17)
✔ Requires being born again (John 3:5–7)
✔ Requires submission to Christ

Jesus declared:

“My kingdom is not of this world.” (John 18:36)

C. Seeking the Kingdom

Matthew 6:33 commands believers to:

• Seek first God’s Kingdom

• Prioritize righteousness

• Trust God for provision

The Kingdom produces:

• Righteousness

• Peace

• Joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17)

It is not merely rules — it is transformed living.

How Both Classes Connect

Adult Class → God’s Creative Power
YAYA Class → God’s Sovereign Kingdom

Together they reveal:

👉 God is both Creator AND King
👉 His power establishes His rule
👉 His kingdom requires submission

Creation reveals His authority.
The kingdom demands our obedience.

The Kingdom of God is not merely theology.

It produces:

• Righteousness

• Peace

• Joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17)

🔎 Ask Yourself:

• Is God truly ruling my decisions?
• Do I submit to His authority?
• Am I seeking His kingdom first?
• Does my life reflect His creative purpose?

If God truly rules my heart:

• I submit.

• I obey.

• I surrender.

• I seek first His Kingdom.

Matthew 6:33 reminds us:

Seek FIRST the kingdom.

Not second. Not when convenient.
