The Kingdom Of God And The Church



The church is a body of people under God that functions as the body of Christ of which He is the head. This was the original intent. However when we look at the church today we see a divided body  of believers who are not functioning as His body on earth. How did we get to this state? As it was in the early church divisions arose due to differences of opinion. The church had to contend with these divisions and most coped by separation into denominations based on interpretations and egocentric persuasions. We today are faced with the same dilemma and Satan is having a field day with the church. Divisions continue to abound and CHRIST is so divided that He is missing in most churches. There is a replacement church that looks nothing like what it is supposed to be. Many are confused by this and wonder if the church has any place in the Kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God is alive and well. This Kingdom is non denominational and consists of believers who recognise Jesus as King and follow Him. The King resides in our heart and this is where His Kingdom is. Each believer is a temple of the living God. It is not a kingdom built with hands. It is a supernatural kingdom ordained by God and cared for by Him. This kingdom is eternal and nothing can overcome it. There is no disease or disorder in His Kingdom. As long as we are in the flesh we will only see partly but one day we will be whole when we see Him as He is. This is a shift in vision. We need to get out of our churches and begin to think like Kingdom people. Let us pray His Kingdom come, His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.
