Who are we in Christ Jesus? We are more than conquers! Through him, we can accomplish so much while walking in power and peace. All things are possible to those that believe upon him. The first step is to believe; without it, you are bond to spiritual stagnation.
Why must we advance in the Kingdom of God? Why must there be growth personally and ministerially? God is an expanding god. He is kingdom minded; ever so wanting more to come to the knowledge of his son, Jesus Christ. This requires his army to be equipped and advancing for his cause. It's not a request, but a demand on His part.
As a former veteran, I never told my commanding officer, "I'm done training and comfortable where I'm at in this military thing." No, we trained till we accomplished the objective. Once that objective was accomplished, then we brought forth a new objective. Ever so continually advancing and maintaining the strength of the United States.

We all have our parts and roles to play in the body of Jesus Christ; there is no little "i's" and big "I's." We are a collective team working together for His cause and purpose. Yes, there is rank and file of order and must be followed, but it's done through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Patiently working together through his love is critical in accomplishing any task at hand. Love is the reason as to why we do. Love is used throughout the process of reaching out. Then love needs to be used while working with other members of the body as well. As we do, it fuels the fire of wanting to work so much more so to do so much more so for His Kingdom.
Being kingdom minded keeps us focused on the one who saved us, Jesus Christ. He is the central theme for our whole lives. We don't have any other agenda for life. We are all to fulfill our assigned roles to someday hear, "Thou good and faithful servant." When that is the true substance of our hearts His work will go forth and His kingdom will expand by His mighty power of LOVE!
