SHIFT FROM CHURCH CULTURE TO KINGDOM CULTURE


 “The whole world lies under the wicked one” and the church is the only vehicle designed by God for advancing His Kingdom, demonstrated by restored missional communities of love, joy, justice, peace, security and beauty. If it is not advancing the Kingdom wherever its members are scattered in the city, among the lost, then it is preaching “another gospel”. 

Yeshua came preaching the Kingdom and commanded us to preach the gospel of the Kingdom in all the world. For this the church needs to get out of victim mentality and adopt victorious kingdom attitude. The world applauds power, position and possessions but kingdom values, kingdom impact and kingdom advance are our governors and motivators. 

This contemporary church needs radical overhauling and not a cosmetic job. For Kingdom advance, rewrite the job description of the chaplain from that of a pulpit orator, sacrament dispenser and tithe gatherer, to one who identifies the gifts and talents of all those on the pews, “For the gifts and call of God are irrevocable” and equip them to be two legged temples of the living God whose business is to catch two legged fish. Our God is missionary God, who is holy and righteous but he is also primarily a “sender” God; “Who will go for us? He sent Yeshua.

He is a shepherd who shifted from “me” to “we” and feeds his flock to be healthy and reproducing, by encouraging them to practice priesthood of all believers with authority to baptize, break bread and equip fishers of men. He and his flock must model an inclusive flat missional church structure wherein everyone submits to one another, prays one for another, serves one another, exhorts, forgives and loves each other, and fifty more “one another’s” so that, “The world may know that you are My disciples.” Kingdom cannot be experienced alone, but together with one another. 1 John 5:19; Rom. 11:29; Matt. 4:17, 19; 24:14; Galatians 1:8; 2 Cor. 6:16; 11:4; Isa. 6:8; John 13:34-35; Eph. 4:11,12; 5:21; 1Peter 2:5,9
