When the gospel of the kingdom is taught and preached in its simplicity and profoundness, it will raise an army for the Lord, not mere fans. Every believer is supposed to be an integral part of the Lord's army in their city or nation. That is the calling of the fivefold ministry: to perfect the saints for the work of the ministry, not to raise a large fan base. Eph 4:11-14. The book of Revelation says about this army, "They loved not their lives even unto death." Rev 12:11.
The kingdom of God owes its advancement throughout history to the army of God, and you are supposed to be a crucial part of it.
Fans are mere fanatics. They rant on social media and offline, defending the views of their favorite preacher, but can't tell where they truly count in advancing the kingdom on Earth. What a waste.
Sadly, most of today's preachers are busy expanding their fan base but raising zero consequential people in the Lord's battle of the hour. They bathe in their fans' praises, and it drives them even more crazy to continue feeding them with more controversies and what they like to hear instead of what they need to know.
The generation that passed on the baton of the gospel to us was focused on winning the lost and equipping the saints. Today, we brag about our newfound revelations of Christ, but sadly, it only raises proud, arrogant, and biblically ignorant fans who aren't a menace to hell and Satan's overall strategy. Guess what! The devil is the only person enjoying the drama, not heaven.
The kingdom of God advances through the partnership of the Sowers and Reapers, and they share the same rewards. Just as in any army, not every soldier goes to war; others carry out backup activities, and so does God's army.
If you aren't a kingdom Sower, you should be a Reaper; if you aren't any of the above, you are a liability in the kingdom. But it's not too late. You can transition from being a liability to actively participating in the Thy Kingdom Come project. Your active participation is crucial in advancing the kingdom of God. Let this inspire and motivate you to take on a more active role.
Meditate on the scripture below.
John 4:35-38
Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labor: other men labored, and ye are entered into their labors.
THE PARTNERSHIP OF THE SOWERS AND REAPERS TERRIFIES HELL! LET'S GET BACK TO IT!
When one teaches and preaches the true gospel of the kingdom, they may never trend on social media. 2 Timothy 4:1-5. If one's passion is to trend on social media, the individual will backslide from a minister of God to a clown entertainer. It is time to get back on track.
