Matt 5:3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of God"
Poverty is spirit is in contrast to spiritual pride and self sufficiency. God never expects us to be self sufficient and independent of Him. We ought to be totally dependent on God. Our sufficiency is of Him who has called us by His own goodness and virtue.
Blessed are those who have identified their need for God, for theirs is the reign of the heavenly king. The kingdom of God is the reign of God. Where ever God's word is law is the reign of God. If His word reigns in your spirit, then, your spirit is the kingdom of God. If he reigns in your body, your body is the kingdom of God. If in your family then, your family is an extension of God's kingdom. God's kingdom is the rule of God.
Only those who see their need for God will experience the reign of God...........blessed are the poor in spirit.
