Thy Kingdom Come
Jan 11, 2026 · Pastor E.A Adeboye
Summary
Matthew 6:10 serves as the foundation for Pastor E.A. Adeboye's exploration of the Kingdom of God through the concept of Divine Colonization. He emphasizes that praying "Thy Kingdom Come" is not merely a request but a profound invitation for God to take complete control over every aspect of a believer's life, transforming their speech, culture, and actions in alignment with His divine will. The core of the message focuses on the Colonization of the Tongue. G.O teaches that we often do not know how to pray as we ought; therefore, we must yield our speech to the Holy Spirit until He speaks through us. He further explains that a true citizen of the Kingdom carries a spiritual "mark"—a seal of the Holy Spirit that signals ownership and authority to the powers of darkness. Moving beyond mere spiritual gifts, the believer is invited into a life of total surrender where they no longer seek "independence" from God but revel in a holy dependence that produces effortless signs, wonders, and the restoration of lost opportunities. Matthew 6:10 (The mandate for the Kingdom to come) Romans 8:26 (The Spirit helping our infirmity in prayer) Ephesians 1:13 (Being sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise) 2 Kings 2:19-22 Romans 8:14
