I have been troubled all the more recently with talk and expressions of the Kingdom of God. For example, there is work that is done in the local church, giving that is done to the local church and then work that is 'for the kingdom' and giving that is 'to the kingdom.' The latter always being that more worthy and that more spiritual. But jsut what is this kindom?
When I look at the kingdom, you know, it is at it's core, there seems to be a bunch of people from different denominations all getting along with one another, around the lowest common denominator that will give them grounds for connection. Even if that lowest common denominator is God the Holy Spirit, or rather, the 'move of the spirit'. That is the Kingdom. Now, you've missed the important word. For it is not God, nor the Spirit, nor kingdom, No, don't miss that word I used: CONNECTION. Yes, the kingdom of God is good connections with the right kind of people.
Let's bypass, the words, kingdom and unity and being one and fellowship for they are too confusing, the Kingdom is CONNECTION or better still...Networking with the right kind of people, people who will stand by you, be your friend, support you, financially and otherwise and even make sure you get a job. The Kingdom of God is CONNECTIVE NETWORKING. It is both who you know and how much you have got to give. Friends and money. If you do not think this is the case, then see how far you get in the 'Kingdom' with no connections and no money. I tell you how far you will get.....you won't get far.
All other CONNECTIVE NETWORKING organisations work better than the Kingdom, simply be case they are totally up front about their raison d'etre. There is nothing dressed up about it, nothing forced, nothing nasty, no suspicion. Their connective Networks are honest, they are about friends and money. Nothing else. Friends and money. Tell me, what is your 'expression' of the Kingdom of God about really? Is all about who you know?
