Kingdom demands

 Matt 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

God told Moses to tell the people of israel to serve Him with faithful heart. Total obedience is the only requirement for the kingdom sustainance, Jesus told John that the will of the Father must be done. (Matt 3:15).

For any man to stay and maintain his position in the kingdom, such must faithfully obey the Father.

Jesus said, "anyone who starts plowing and keeps looking back isn't worth a thing to God's kingdom." (Lk 9:62)

Faithfulness is worth much more than gold, Abel offered sacrifices to the Lord with faithful heart and his sacrifices was accepted.

KINGDOM STANDARDS 

The kingdom of God requires of man to be overdependence on God; any man who wants to remain in the presence of God must depend only on Him.

The kingdom of God also requires of man to be humble.

The kingdom of God requires of man to be merciful; any man who wants to be relevant in the kingdom must care for others.

The kingdom of God requires of man to be pure in heart.

The kingdom of God also requires of man to be a peace maker. And the kingdom of God requires of man to focus on the things above. Jesus lay emphasis on this in the book of matthew 6:19-21 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
