I love to put down certain extracts of quotes, paragraphs or passages from the books I read. Normally these are the passages that have spoken to me and I just want to share with you.

There is no intention to copy the whole book into the blog but certain extracts. Respective authors are given due recognition in this blog and I encourage you to buy the book to read if you deemed the extracts encourages you.

Chapter 2 - The Kingdom Minded Church

from ChurchShift - Sunday Adeleja

Church reformers like Martin Luther in previous ages had this national focus; they wanted to bring nations to their knees before God. But today too many Christians have scaled back their ambitions. It's time to be ambitious again. It's time to shift our churches! Until the children of the almighty God act like His representatives on the earth, nothing will change in our countries. The destiny of OUR LAND is in the hands of the church and the willingness to declare the position of God in OUR society.

The real focus of every Christian's life , and of all our church activities, is promoting the kingdom of God in every sphere of our nations.

Christians have to walk in power. Every gift and talent we have is to be exercised in service of the kingdom.
