Practical Kingdom Advancement
The Great Commission (Mathew 28:16-20), lines up with ‘equipping the saints, for the work of service’ (Ephesians 4:12).
My experience teaches me there are two key elements that work together to achieve true Kingdom advancement.
1. the strategy (short, medium, long term)
2. the tactical imperatives that fuel each transformation from ‘here to there’. These are the operational steps that achieve the mobilisation of strategic objectives.
Those who have experience in business and ministry to do both 1 and 2 above, understand that it takes a pioneering character trait, chartering the strategy and being able to ‘wear multiple hats’ in the mobilisation of objectives to be effective and see results. It requires humility and experience to do this. Leading by example to set the culture to replicate and perpetuate momentum.
Strategists who have not been involved in pioneering ‘new territory/start up’ initiatives lack the experiential knowledge gained by pioneering strategy and deploying tactical alignment in the face of varying barriers to entry and limitations in time, resources, finances etc. In these cases there is a tendency to be excellent at the ‘white board marker’ stage of what needs to happen, but a lack of connection with the practical ‘hard yards’ of actual deployment. This is what separates ‘text book’ and ‘hands on’ experience.
Jesus our Servant Leader, did both strategic and tactical/operational. He heard from Our Father and He walked with, taught, imparted, equipped, established, fellowshipped and led by example, His disciples. This speaks to the kind of leaders who will drive this next season’s transformation.
Smaller more effective Gideon like teams will launch out, connected to broader strategy, but taking ownership of individual tactical steps.
For many, this season’s requirements for leaders with vast pioneering experience will shine light on the training they have actually been going through, and will help them make sense of the journey behind and unlock a new and inspired focus going forward. (Isaiah 43:18-21)
As an example, when considering ministering to an individuals heart transformation, looking at the difference of approach between a ‘method’ versus an ‘accurate and distinct prophetic word’ for that individual person/circumstance...experience tells us that the accuracy of ‘hearing Fathers Voice’ for each situation is better at yielding transformation and reconciliation than applying a method. It is no different when looking at a regional strategy ... it is better to hear His Voice than deploy a method.
Different strategies will emerge for different regions, with the same overarching objective of establishing ‘Basilia’, the rule, reign and dominion of The Kingdom of God on earth as it is in Heaven.
One thing is sure: As much as we need excellent discipling we also need those willing to be discipled.
In the context of this season, a massive deployment of cross-ministry collaboration is about to take place. Those with similar Kingdom visions will begin to co-labour and not compete.
Fathers Voice is the key in each strategic objective and each tactical imperative, the plan is His and your regions uniqueness is in His hands. Humility to lead like Jesus is key to seeing the Great Commission and the ‘multiplying of disciples who multiply disciples’ advance mightily.
