There has been an advancing of the Kingdom of God throughout the nations in recent times despite the serious challenges, tragedies, upheavals, terrorism and even wars. People are still being saved, healed and delivered; signs and miracles are being manifested at an increasing rate. The Church is alive and growing spiritually and numerically. Believers are becoming more militant, relevant, sacrificial and purpose-oriented and there are boldly carrying the battle to the gates. The church is quickly coming out of that passive state of mind and becoming more passionate for the move of God – the cry is ‘Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
It’s the most exciting and exhilarating period for church growth and the expansion of the Kingdom of God in the earth. It is therefore important that we be sensitive to what God is saying now and to the direction He is taking the church in this season. As believers, we dare not miss God’s visitation at this crucial time lest we find ourselves left behind as a memory in history and become irrelevant to our generation. Every leader must make sure the ministry he/she is leading is on the cutting edge, totally in tune with what God is saying and doing now; free from the chains of tradition and religion that wants to keep every local church enslaved to its dictates. Surely the ‘kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and forever’ Rev 11:15.
