THE KING & HIS KINGDOM
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.”
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.
Worldwide, there are 50,000 new baptized believers each day.
85% of the 2.2 million evangelical churches in the world are led by pastors with no formal training.
75% of Christians now live in the majority world (Latin America, Africa, and Asia).
In the United States, there is one trained pastor for every 280 people.
“Majority world” churches have one trained pastor for every 50,000.

The Philippines is the 12th largest nation population wise in the world with over 112 million.
It is one of two Christian nations in the 10/40 Window.
When the world is in chaos, God is looking for World changers... “Go’ers”
The Churches assignment is not isolation but invasion.
The assignment is not protection but possession.
The word Disciple: means learner, it’s our modern word for student. (apprentice)
Nation: Grk. is ethnos (culture)– not just based on race
World is the Greek word - Kosmos
Kosmos means; order of authority or the authority of influence.
Whenever an order influences a territory it is called “a dominion”.
“King” refers to rule and “domain” refers to territory.
1. A kingdom is an authority that influences a domain.
1John 5:19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
Col 1:13 For He delivered us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son
Jesus restored the king dominion of God.
2. The assignment / commission means; “Go influence orders of authority”. Gov’s, etc
Matt. 24:14 “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come.
Where ever there is a structure of authority that has influence on the planet. Jesus says, go into that and preach (#1 with your life).
Preach means: to declare and to demonstrate.
We are to go into the world and declare and demonstrate.
3. Jesus said, “make disciples”: Make them your students
Here’s the key; you cannot disciple the nation unless you take the position of leadership and authority in every area of life.
Influence:
*The power that somebody has to affect other people’s thinking or actions by means of argument, example, or force of personality.
*The power or authority that comes from wealth, social status, or position
*Somebody or something able to affect the course of events or somebody’s thinking or action
That means; any group that has a commonality is ethnos.
4. The power of a world changer
Impact: the strong effect that something or somebody has. To have an immediate and strong effect on something or somebody
The kings mandate we have is a leadership mandate.
You cannot influence people who do not respect you or those you have no credibility with.
We want to make an impact but are we willing to pay the price.
Fulfillment of the great commission demands the position of influence.
5. Leadership is not an option for you.
God wants you to go from a follower to a leader.
You are here to become something, not just learn something.
Leadership starts with a person who has a purpose and passion to complete it.
Greatness in the kingdom is becoming the servant of all.
Responsibility is; Response – ability
Caring is a quality of action called – compassion.
