Colonization is the norm
This is why we were born—
We are here to colonize this planet
Because our Kingdom is not of this world
It all started in the garden—
We were asked to dominate and
We fell short of our original purpose—
But thanks to Jesus Christ who came to rescue us and
So now we continue to colonize this planet in the Name of Jesus
Caesar handpicked his ecclesia (church)
Jesus handpicked His Ecclesia (church)
Caesar was a lord; Jesus is the Lord (of the lords)
The citizens of Rome believed that Caesar was the son of a god
The citizens of heaven know that Jesus is the Son of God etc.
The parallels between Jesus and Caesar are very important to
The understanding of the Kingdom of God because God sent forth
His Son at the right time so that the people would understand His Message
Jesus said,”… and on this rock I will build my ecclesia (church)…”
The word ‘My’ reveals that there were other ecclesia’s at the time
Caesar had his ecclesia and now it was time for Jesus to establish
His ecclesia (church/Cabinet) after His Death and Resurrection
The word church was not religious; it was a political term
Caesar needed a senate (cabinet/ecclesia) to spread his message
Jesus employed the same structure (concept) by choosing His Cabinet
The duty of the Cabinet was to get the mind of their Lord and make it legislation
Caesar would send a governor (Pilate) to a certain area and the governor would Demonstrate the mind of Caesar and make it policy (law) in the territory
Jesus also sent a Governor (Holy Spirit-Paracletes) to govern the territory
He would bring the mind of God in a territory and make it policy (e.g. Matt. 5 &6)
So that the Kingdom of God can (could) surface in that territory
Jesus hand picked His Ecclesia (church)
Nobody else can pick His ecclesia (church)
No pastor or religious leader can pick His (Jesus) Cabinet
We must thank Him that we are part of His Cabinet (Church/Ecclesia)
The word church was not religious; it was a political term
Caesar needed a senate (cabinet/ecclesia) to spread his message
Jesus employed the same structure (concept) by choosing His Cabinet
They had to spread His message of the Kingdom of God
Today the word Church has been misunderstood
No wonder there is so much deception
This is why we were born
We are here to colonize this planet
Because our Kingdom is not of this world
It all started in the garden—
We were asked to dominate and
We fell short of our original purpose—
But thanks to Jesus Christ who came to rescue us and
So now we continue to colonize this planet in the Name of Jesus
N.B ‘The Greek word for church is ecclesia’
‘It is a Governmental word’
Matthew 16:18
