Publisher's Synopsis
Now, more than at any other time, should the priority of the church be called to question. When Jesus spoke to His disciples about the church in two instances in the gospel of Mathew, He never left any doubt as to the role of the church in fulfilling God's kingdom agenda on earth. He told Simon Peter, "...upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." (Mathew 16:18) The church is ordained for kingdom work, and it is upon this role that its vision, programs and operations should be aligned. The church was never meant to be an end in itself, but an instrument for kingdom manifestation. God's Kingdom Government reveals the deep connections between the Church of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God, and their complementary role in bringing God's will into fulfilment on earth. In this book you will discover God's immutable design for a structured kingdom government on earth, how the functioning of this government is tied to the believer's priesthood, the effect of sin on man's kingship heritage and how the church needs to position itself in order to enforce kingdom protocols in its operating environment, even as it interacts with political governments, the society and families, in a fast-paced and technologically-advancing era.
