Today there is great competition for the kingdom message
Certain Christian groups want to take over the world
They are using the Bible to vindicate themselves but
Jesus does not have take over anything
When He shows up it will become His,
In fact, the Scripture states that the earth is the Lord’s and everything in it

The Bible never commands Christians to take dominion
The Great Commission is not a mandate to take over the world
The commands, to disciple, baptize, and teach are not equivalent to "taking dominion"
Christ is excising His dominion and He is calling people into His Kingdom
It is Christ who rules, it is Christ who takes dominion

The Church should live up to its responsibility—
It must evangelize and disciple its members
The Holy Spirit will do His part; we need to do ours

God has allowed darkness to remain in a certain places because
Men have boasted in their own authority
They have forgotten about the authority of Jesus
The kingdom has become their government and
They have forgotten that the Kingdom is God’s Government;
It is important that we understand an interesting principle;
Yeast affects dough
I don’t have to pray for yeast to affect dough
It will affect it without my assistance
So I do not take over the world;
I simply bring God’s government (Name) to that area
So that He can influence that territory by revealing His Love and
Give people the opportunity to discover Jesus, the Son of God

Jesus taught the Kingdom of God
The Kingdom of God is God’s idea
The only problem today is that men are
Teaching it according to their own man-made ways and so
Today there is great competition for the kingdom message
