ARE YOU A CORE 70 @ Kingdom Life?
I am called to build and to serve the kingdom of GOD in this region with Kingdom Life Church for the foreseeable future.
“After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go. Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” (Luke 10:1–2, NKJV)
“Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.” And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.” (Luke 10:17–20, NKJV)
COMMITTED
I am committed to unity and to the vision of Kingdom Life and I will give of my time and treasure according to my faith.
“He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in what is another man’s, who will give you what is your own?” (Luke 16:10–12, NKJV)
OBEDIENT TO GOD
I will live, love, and serve by faith in God and His Word by the power of Holy Spirit.
“who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear, though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, called by God as High Priest “according to the order of Melchizedek,” of whom we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.” (Hebrews 5:7–11, NKJV)
“But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.” (Acts 5:29, NKJV)
RUNNING THE RACE WITH PATIENCE
I will keep my eyes on Jesus no matter what my circumstances are.
“Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.” (1 Corinthians 9:24–27, NKJV)
EVANGELISTIC LIFESTYLE
I am salt and light in the earth everywhere I go. “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:13–16, NKJV)
The vision of Kingdom Life Church is to establish God’s Kingdom Culture in this city and region. We want it to become a city of light - set on a hill for others to see what can happen when people unify to see God’s Kingdom come His will be done in earth as it is in heaven.
In order to do this, we must see clearly see our own purpose and begin walking it out. We can not lead others unless we make our purpose our priority.
What is our purpose? We are sons of God who are occupying till He comes. We are not hiding till He comes. We are leaders who take charge and establish culture. We are reformers not reactionaries. We are not awaiting rescue. We are rescuers.
First we establish kingdom culture in our own lives through a close spiritually intimate relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ by the empowerment of Holy Spirit. God’s nature in us will change our beliefs, our words, our actions and our habits. God’s kingdom culture will change the way we do church, family, business, education, government, arts and media.
When the reformation takes place in our own lives, it will impact our family, community, work, and begin spreading into every part of culture.
Start asking yourself, is this a kingdom way to spend money or make purchases? Am I supporting the people in our church body when possible through my purchases? Am I supporting the kingdom of God through my purchases? Am I voting in line with kingdom purposes? Am I sharing my faith with someone every day as opportunity presents itself? Am I seeing witnessing as part of my purpose? Am I seeing funding the kingdom of God as part of my purpose?
None of these questions are designed to put you in bondage to another set of rules. They are just a reminder that your life here on earth is the shortest part of your eternal life and it can be utilized to bring other people into the kingdom of God and make them culturally aware of God’s kingdom in the earth.
Kingdom Life Church is here to impact this city and region. We are a tree of influence now but we are growing into a mountain of influence in this region. We are not trying to be any other church. We are simply pursuing the purpose of God for Kingdom Life Church in this city and region.
We expect to build churches, schools, businesses, housing, hospitals, and more. And we expect to influence the seven mountains of religion, government, family, education, business, arts and media. We expect to grow over the next 100 years in each of these areas and our children and grandchildren will accomplish the things that we don’t get finished and dream up even greater things than we did.
The only leader getting a regular paycheck is the worship leader. We pay him $250/week. We trust God for our income and for the church income. We ask you all to partner with us in trusting God provision. Ask God what He can help you to pay, and then just give what He tells you to give. Take ownership of the church. If this is your church, give as The LORD leads you to give.
