The Kingdom Factor

In commerce, a Factor is an agent or person who acts on behalf of another.  In this sense, the church is a Factor which acts on behalf of Christ in this world to bring the Kingdom of God to earth.  

A factor is also an element or cause that contributes to a result.  One example of this is, "When applied to our sonship, ministry equipping is a factor of spiritual and emotional maturity, as well as character development".    

In mathematics, a factor is a quantity multiplied by another quantity.  Another way of expressing this through the form of mathematics is, one of two or more numbers, or the like, that when multiplied together produce a given product.  


For the later purpose given, we need to examine the integral parts that serve together to make the completeness of the whole.  

The Teamwork Factor Within
 Full Counsel

Experience has taught us that the sovereignty  of God is the ultimate dominion and governing authority of all people and all nations upon this earth.  When God calls a body into any order of ministry, he will perform his word through those who faithfully stand on the word or part of ministry that is being developed.  The development of any ministry, especially that which is being restored to the body of Christ, is dependent upon the development of community.  Community is further developed through  the relationships of those who co-labor together  in respect to the same ground or stature in Christ. 

1 John 2:27 speaks about how the anointing which we received from Christ abides in us and how we have no need for anyone to teach us.  It also speaks that as the anointing teaches us about all things, we abide in Him (Christ).  We find that in abiding in the anointing from faith to faith and from glory to glory, God is faithful to gather us with those of like kind.  Even before we've even seen the ministry that is being developed, God purposes that we would see it in a people. 


Revelation is not exclusive.  New revelation should always serve to join us to a greater part of ministry that is presently operating within a global body.  However, we don't see other nations through the lens of ministry until we have matured as a nation within a church body.  

The work of the ministry within the smaller local part that we directly relate with should open our eyes to see the greater part of the ministry in respect to the global body.  When all of the components of ministry are fitly joined together, the multiplication factor keeps us fully aligned to reap of the benefits through a body that is whole.  A body that is whole is always increasing in the works that Christ did.  

From one harvest to the next, or from increase to increase, the Kingdom revealed IN us further serves to illuminate the form of the ministry that begins taking shape in the dawn of the new day.   Since I live in the United States, I shared a photo taken from satellite of the U.S. at night.  


The image above emulates what occurs spiritually through progressive ministry activation within teams or apostolic council.  Those who serve to faithfully propel a body forward are well established in their own faith.  Before we can see color as shown in the photo to the left, we must be able to see what divides night from day.  Those who are faithful to emulate the Kingdom when darkness falls will also be faithful to color the landscape of greater ministry with wisdom.  

I pray that we would be found faithful in our commission to make disciples of nations and to provide a venue of ministry that will serve to raise many sons to glory. 

Matt 28: 18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” 

 Kingdom blessings,
