Kingdom of God Unity
PLUS Group
A Consortium of God’s People
Living the 7 Freedoms and doing
God’s will God’s Way!
By Milton C. Jordan, Sr.
1
KOG stands for Kingdom of God!
The Bible declares that God “ . . .rescued
us from the dominion of darkness and
brought us into the Kingdom of the Son He
(God) loves, in whom we have
redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” (Col.
1:13-14)
 Therefore, the Kingdom of God is a
current reality, though not fully visible to
anyone not a citizen of it.

By Milton C. Jordan, Sr.
2
Read Philippians 3:18-21

“ . . . many live as enemies of the cross of
Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their
god is their stomach, and their glory is in
their shame. Their mind is on earthly
things. But our citizenship is in heaven.
And we eagerly await a Savior from there,
the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power
that enables him to bring everything under
His control, will transform our lowly bodies
so that they will be like his glorious body.”
By Milton C. Jordan, Sr.
3
Yes, we are citizens of the Kingdom
and His children

“How great is the love the Father has
lavished on us, that we should be called
children of God. And that is what we are . .
.Dear friends, now we are children of God,
and what we will be has not yet been
made known. But we know that when He
appears we shall be like Him, for we shall
see him as He is. Everyone who has this
hope in him purifies himself as He is pure.”
(1John 3:1-3)
By Milton C. Jordan, Sr.
4
Aliens in a Kingdom cannot
become ambassadors!

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a
new creation; the old has gone, the new
has come. All this is from God who
reconciled us to Himself through Christ . . .
We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as
though God were making His appeal
through us . . .”
By Milton C. Jordan, Sr.
5
Therefore, as citizens and
ambassadors . . .
We have all the rights, but only the rights,
conferred by our head of government!
 We have all the responsibilities, but only
the responsibilities, conferred by our head
of government!
 We have all the privileges, but only the
privileges conferred by our head of
government!
 God is our head of government!

By Milton C. Jordan, Sr.
6
As an ambassador, we are also
ministers!
We have been assigned the Ministry of
Reconciliation!
 The purpose of all ministry is to equip the
saints for the work of the Body so we
become built up [spiritually] until we come
into unity! (See Eph. 4:9-13)
 That’s why the second word in our name is
Unity!

By Milton C. Jordan, Sr.
7
God’s people should always be
learning unlimited success!

That’s what the acronym P.L.U.S. means!
 People Learning Unlimited
Success!
In Isa. 55:8-11, we see that God’s Word is
the key to success!
 Therefore, as the children of God, citizens
of the Kingdom of God, and ambassadors,
assigned to dark and dying world, we
practice success by learning to speak
God’s Word all the time!

By Milton C. Jordan, Sr.
8
We are a HBBO Consortium!



The dictionary defines consortium as:
An association or a combination, as of
businesses, financial institutions, or
investors, for the purpose of engaging in
a joint venture.
A cooperative arrangement among
groups or institutions:
By Milton C. Jordan, Sr.
9
HBBO includes several meanings!
Home . . .(where we live)
 Based. . . (our respective headquarters)
 Business . . .(products and services we
provide. (Note—We are not selfemployed!)
 Opportunity . . .Before we begin
 Operation . . .When we are up and
running!
 Owner . . .The individual owner!

By Milton C. Jordan, Sr.
10
We all operate Marketplace
Ministries!
We believe God provided an economic
“Promised Land” for the Church, just as
He did for the ancient nation of Israel!
 The ancient Promised Land of Caanan
was an economic bonanza!
 In this 21st century world, God has provide
His Church, His servants, His ministers, a
similar, albeit vastly different, bonanza!

By Milton C. Jordan, Sr.
11
God confirms this assertion through
the Apostle Peter




“His divine power has given us everything we
need for life and godliness through our
knowledge of Him who called us by His own
glory and goodness . . .
Through these [His glory and goodness] He has
given us His very great and precious promises . .
.
So that through them [His very great and
precious promises] you may participate in the
divine nature . . .
And escape the corruption in the world caused
by evil desires.” (2Peter 1:3-4)
By Milton C. Jordan, Sr.
12
The issue is not “asking,” but
accessing!



To access all the things that God has given us—
everything we need for life and godliness—we
must live in our freedom from sin, as slaves to
righteousness!
“For God made Him who had no sin to be sin for
us, so that in Him we might become the
righteousness of God.” (2Cor. 5:21)
“Therefore, there is no condemnation for those
who are in Christ Jesus because through Christ
Jesus, the law of the Spirit of life has set me free
from the law of sin and death.” (Rom. 8:1-2)
By Milton C. Jordan, Sr.
13
We are free from the
consequences and power of sin!


“You have been set free form sin and have
become slaves to righteousness.” (Rom. 6:18)!
“You, however, are controlled not by the sinful
nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives
in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of
Christ, he does not belong to Christ . . .because
those who are led by the Spirit of God are the
sons of God . . .Now if we are children, then we
are heirs . . . of God and co-heirs with Christ . . .”
(Rom. 8:9-15)
By Milton C. Jordan, Sr.
14
As God’s freed children, we are
called to unity
“I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of
our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree
with one another so that there may be no
division among you and that you may be
perfectly united in mind and thought!”
(1Cor. 1:10)
 “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the
Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
(2Cor. 3:17)

By Milton C. Jordan, Sr.
15
Jesus commissioned us to become
disciple-making disciples!

“Then the 11 disciples went to Galilee, to
the mountain where Jesus had told them
to go . . .Then Jesus came to them and
said: ‘All authority in heaven and on earth
has been given to me. Therefore, go and
make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and of the
Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching
them to obey everything I have
commanded you.” (Matt. 28:16-18)
By Milton C. Jordan, Sr.
16
We are to invest in each other—
current disciples—and living stones

“Remember this, whoever sows sparingly
will reap sparingly, and whoever sows
generously will also reap generously. Each
man should give what he has decided in
his heart to give, not reluctantly, or under
compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
And God is able to make all grace abound
to you, so that in all things at all times,
having all that you need, you will abound
in every good work . . .” (2Cor. 9:6-9)
By Milton C. Jordan, Sr.
17
Jesus explained the spiritual law for
doing business God’s way


“Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness,
and all these things[ life’s basics—remember we
already have all we need for life] will be given to
you as well.” (Matt. 6:33)
“Give, and it will be given to you, A good
measure, pressed down, shaken together and
running over, will be poured into your lap. For
with the measure you use, it will be measured to
you.”
By Milton C. Jordan, Sr.
18
Jesus also provided two powerful
prayer principles
“Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth
agree about anything you ask for, it will be
done for you by my Father in heaven.”
(Matt. 18:19)
 This is the prayer of agreement, a petition
that guarantees specific answers!
 Any two of us in agreement for business
success, praying the prayer of agreement,
can trust in God’s guarantee!

By Milton C. Jordan, Sr.
19
Jesus also said to pray the prayer
of faith!





(1)“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “I tell
you the truth, (2) if anyone says to this
mountain, ‘Go throw yourself in the sea, and . . .
(3) “does not doubt in his heart . . .
“but (4) believes that what he says will
happen . . .
(5) “it will be done for him.
“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in
prayer, (6) believe that you have received it
and (7) it will be yours.”
By Milton C. Jordan, Sr.
