I was reminded that the mission of the church is not only to open the kingdom into eternal life to all who would “Repent! Turn! Decide! Receive the Kingdom ', but it is also to oppose evil in every form of its manifestation. A serious wake up call for me was that as long as Christ has not returned, our work is undone. The final victory awaits the completion of our task and “then end will come” I am very grateful to God, to my Apostles and Foursquare for making this training available to us, our schedule was tough but entirely doable. We can only go higher and higher in Christ with the teaching provided.

This awesome inspiring teaching by Ladd on the Kingdom, has brought light and glory where there has been gross darkness, in this evil age. Ladd asked the question “Does mankind have a destiny”? Jesus himself came saying to a sinful world. “Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand” (St. Matthew 4:17) His focus was primarily on the Kingdom of God even inviting it’s coming in the Lord’s Prayer.

Dr. Ladd tells us that the Kingdom of God belongs to the present as well as the future, it is here presently and it is also to come. The concept of the Kingdom of God is primarily the rule, the reign and the Government of God. This Governmental rule is God’s sovereignty in action in the hearts and lives of His Church, and covers the whole world. God’s Sovereign reign is manifested in several realms. The Gospel of the Kingdom speaks of entering the Kingdom of God both today and tomorrow, no other religion can boost of this power of reign. The Christian Church has been given both the power, the theology and the tools to dominate the whole world through

We are God’s emissaries and we are assured as we lay hold on God’s word that our God will someday rule over all.

The Demands of the Kingdom, has created a paradigm shift for me. I am admonished that I must be willing to give up all, for the Kingdom and that the Kingdom of God is first in all things.
