A lot of believers act like we’re just supposed to hold the line
until the trumpet blows.
Like the world belongs to Satan until Jesus gets back.
Like the best we can do is survive.
But that’s not what the King said.
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…”
— Matthew 28:18–19
Not “make converts.”
Not “win a few souls.”
Disciple nations.
This isn’t a rescue mission.
It’s a dominion mission.
Jesus didn’t put His Kingdom on hold.
He didn’t ascend just to wait around.
He’s building something.
“Of the increase of His government and of peace there will be no end…”
— Isaiah 9:7
The Kingdom doesn’t shrink.
It grows.
Like a mustard seed that becomes a tree.
Like leaven that works through the dough.
“The kingdom of heaven is like leaven… until it was all leavened.”
— Matthew 13:33
Quiet. Slow. Unstoppable.
It doesn’t come with headlines.
It comes with changed hearts.
Obedient lives.
Faithful churches.
Generations raised in Christ.
If your eschatology tells you to hunker down,
it’s not from Jesus.
He didn’t say wait for escape.
He said storm the gates.
“The gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
— Matthew 16:18
Gates don’t attack.
They get attacked.
We’re not the ones under siege, hell is.
The Kingdom isn’t losing.
It’s advancing.
Through the Word.
Through the Spirit.
Through the Church.
We’re not passengers on a lifeboat.
We’re warriors in a conquest.
And the King didn’t send us out powerless.
He sent us out with all authority in heaven and on earth.
So raise your kids in the Word.
Start businesses that honor Christ.
Preach the gospel boldly.
Build churches that last generations.
Shape the culture by shaping disciples.
The Kingdom isn’t paused.
It’s not delayed.
It’s not defeated.
It’s on the move.
