Introduction

The church is the greatest agency for extending and promoting the kingdom of God through the earth. God established the church as the means to prepare the saints to embrace the gospel of the kingdom and become God carriers, filled with faith and maturing into the character of Christ. The ultimate goal of the church is that the principles of the kingdom of God will become the principles of the nations of the earth.

We are not called by God to promote a ministry; we are called to promote God and extend His dominion on earth. The goal of a pastor is to provide a platform for promoting the kingdom of God and developing every saint to discover God, their assignment, and to become effective in permeating the earth with the principles of Heaven. A successful church breeds deliverers who accepts responsibility for the earth.

A successful church is a church that transforms society, community, and the nation at large. The church is more than a fancy building. Moreover, it is a place where the Saints are groomed to become enforcers and advancers of the kingdom of God and His values in every sphere of influence. A successful church is a kingdom-focused church whose presence transforms everything and anything in the community for the better. It is a church that infiltrates and influences the systems of the world with the principles of the kingdom of God. A successful church is an agency that influences and transforms society and the systems of the world with the values, principles, and culture of Heaven.

A successful church is a training ground for breeding leaders, rich in values and morals, who are reformers and positive change agents. A successful church transforms nations by raising kingdom-minded deliverers. A successful church is an instrument of solutions; they provide solutions to every challenge in their communities, wiping away the tears of the masses, and restoring the dignity of men and women. A successful church is a church of visionaries where everyone is important and relevant and uses their platform to make a difference and win the lost. A successful church combines power and principles to raise uncommon kingdom personalities. They develop sons of God into deliverers who adapt to challenges and solve them. A successful church develops its people holistically; they groom saints to create products and services. A successful church is a church that is focused on the kingdom of God and its advancement. A successful church transforms consumers into producers, followers into leaders, and weak men into soul winners and kingdom advancers.

A successful church is a church that grooms every believer to be a minister and a solution provider that enforces Heaven's agenda on earth. The church is the breeding ground for sons of God who are giants in all spheres of life. However, it is not a breeding ground for mediocre and religious people. Therefore, the church in every community should set the pace and give direction to everything in society and nation.

The successful church

The church is a breeding ground for raising uncommon personalities, leaders, captains of industries who dominate and drive change in their spheres of influence. The church is an institution for raising financial elephants who are sold out to God and His agenda on earth. Religious rituals have produced some of the most ineffective people on the planet, whose existence on the planet has no meaning, because of its imbalance. The gospel is divided into two categories:

The gospel of salvation

The gospel of the kingdom

The gospel of salvation is the unveiling of the love of the father for us, the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus, and the victory or life that this exchange brings to us. It is this gospel that unveils the packages we have received from the father. However, the gospel of the kingdom is the unveiling of our love for the father, our response to accepting responsibility for the earth, and our contribution in extending the principles and the culture of His kingdom on the earth. We have been mandated to 'Go ye into the world by Jesus. The word 'world' represents the spheres of influence and the systems of this world. There are seven spheres of influence or systems that believers must occupy and transform with the principles of the kingdom – They are:

Government

Economy/Business – Finance

Media

Sports and Entertainment

Education

Family

Religion

So far, believers have been trapped to do kingdom business in just one sphere of influence: Religion. The Saints have been relegated by the imbalance of religious sermons that focuses only on the gospel of salvation. We (The Saints) are saved and granted eternal life through the gospel of salvation, but we cannot become relevant and influence society and nations through this gospel alone. It is only by engaging the gospel of the kingdom that believers can become relevant and useful to God on the earth. The pathway to enforce dominion on the earth is the engagement of the gospel of the kingdom. This is how the Saints can rule and dominate the earth for God. This is how the Saints can win!

A successful church is a church that is focused on the gospel of the kingdom, empowering believers with the principles of God, teaching and cultivating in the Saints the values and virtues of God, and sending them into the systems and spheres of influence to dominate and influence with the values and principles of the kingdom.

The challenge in most nations and communities is that the church has raised religious people, and religious people are not relevant beyond the four walls of the church. Religious sermons without principles and the understanding of the message of the kingdom of God is the source of the in- effectiveness of the church in every nation because everyone sitting in our pews is a national or global asset. However, many are deformed by religious sermons void of principles that is why we have produced anointed people who are poor and broke.

'Religious sermons are the greatest attack on any nation.' – Dr Benjamin Manu

Religious sermons have produced some of the most anointed, but unproductive and ineffective people in the world who love Jesus. Hence, they are frustrated because they have not been taught to develop their minds, belief systems, crafts etc. and to drive change and lead the world in all areas. We are called to manage the earth for God and enforce His principles in all spheres of life. The quality of people the church produces depends on the quality of sermons the religious leaders have preached and taught over the years. Nothing will change unless our messages are changed. We must preach the message of the kingdom of God and not just religious sermons.

Religious sermons are void of the following components:

Principles and Laws

Cause and effects

Purpose discovery

Time conversion and management

Kingdom dominance and influence

Personal development and transformation

The importance of work

The absence of these key components in religious sermons have produced some of the most ineffective people in society - they love Jesus but are not empowered to dominate their world. The economies of many nations have been weakened because the church has failed to produce innovators and entrepreneurs. This is why nations with lots of churches are mostly poor because producers have been reduced to consumers through religious sermons.

Every human is a carrier of solutions to their world. Every born-again believer is a solution to a problem on earth, and ninety-nine per cent of churches don't have systems that develop their people. We only preach and teach believers without developing the rich divine deposits in them; this is why we have low-level people in our churches who are anointed but live at the mercy of unbelievers and sinners. Every believer is a national asset but until their purpose is discovered and deployed, they will be useless and ineffective on earth.

The church is full of ‘Bill Gates’ who haven't discovered themselves but have been deformed through religious sermons. No one becomes a financial giant through giving alone without mental empowerment and becoming a producer. When the church produces mediocre and maintains losers, the church will lose its influence and respect in society. It's time to start
