Jesus did not come to this earth to establish a religious system, in fact an established religious system was already here when He came. Jesus came to establish a Heavenly Government, setting forth ambassadors, kings and priests. Empowering a new race of believers who were later called "Christians" because of their Christ-likeness with a unified mandate to colonize the earth.
Church was never intended to be a place where people gathered, quite the contrary! The church was and is a group of empowered and redeemed people who are sent out under the anointing and leadership of the Holy Spirit with a Kingdom mandate to enforce the culture of heaven in every aspect of life.
Isaiah 9:7 Of the increase of his government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
The increase of His government will not diminish! Praise God! It will not end and guess what...He is still establishing it this very hour in the hearts of men. The Lord is performing this right before our eyes as He said: the zeal of the LORD of host will perform it. Notice one more point in this 7th verse. The words henceforth even for ever confirm to us this movement will not stop and cannot be stopped!

KINGDOM
Luke 4:43 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.
The Kingdom message was a must for Jesus to preach! This was the purpose behind His earthly ministry according to His own words. Jesus said emphatically that other cities must hear the Kingdom message and then He hung the whole purpose of His ministry on the kingdom message by stating: "for therefore am I sent". Christ was sent for this purpose!
In the following verses you will see the church's purpose as well:
Luke 9:2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
Luke 9:60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Our teaching and preaching reveals if we are fulfilling our God given purpose. What are we hearing today? What did you hear last week? I am convinced the only threat to Satan are those who seek to live, teach and preach the Kingdom message!
