Where does everyone and everything come from?
John1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through
him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
God has got two Kingdoms, the one in heaven and the other on earth. All
the inhabitants of his Kingdom on earth are the people who were in his
Kingdom in heaven. When they are here on earth, it is not the first time
for them to live, but the only first experience they have is to live in flesh.
They may be sent for various reasons here on earth. Some are sent for a
specific solution to a specific problem.
You whom I have took from the ends of the earth, and called from its
farthest corners, saying to you, “You are my servant, I have chosen you
and not cast you off”
Isaiah 41:9
“Before I formed you in womb I knew you; and before you were born I
consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

Ephesians 4:11
There is still a lot activities ( works and services) that are contained in
the Holy Spirit. And God supply these according to his will for a specific
purpose.
Below are some of them:
One church built upon one or two of spiritual gifts for examples: Apostles
and Evangelist, can not consider itself the whole Body of Christ/Church

and the prosperity that goes together with that church cannot be
considered to be the fulfillment of the Word which says;

1Corinthians12:4-11
Equip the saints for the works of the ministry for building up the Body of
Christ.
(One church built upon one or two spiritual gifts such as: pastor, teacher is
not the whole Body of Christ and it should not be used for personal gain.
The prosperity of one part of the Body of Christ cannot tell that it is the
head, but it forms irregularity to the whole Body especially in the people’s
point of view. The yearly resolutions and goals for each and every part of
Body of Christ should be first to aim at coming together and move in one
unity.)

Now, how does government looks?
Government consist of or is made up of departments which are led
by different ministers from the cabinet thereof.
The Cabinet of the Kingdom or Government of God can be the Holy
Spirit and in the Holy Spirit are spiritual gifts – and the servants of
God who are entrusted with these spiritual gifts (apostles,
prophets, evangelists, teachers and pastors) are like the
officials/ministers of the departments.
The main objectives of these spiritual gifts is to minster to the
whole earth – which means – the
This should happen until the whole Body attain one unity and have one
voice and one rhythmic movement, may be up to the point where it lives
independent of the world in any way possible.
Conclusion
There is no Body that can win battle without its head connected to it.
That is to say as the world is faced with crisis, it needs the Body of
Christ which is whole (in terms of spiritual gifts) and holy ( in terms of
life which it convey to the world.)
Now this means that one dominant part of Body Christ can not do
anything apart from the whole Body.
The world needs one recognized Body to listen to;
One part of the Body that can pray against evil and be heard partly and
as part, but One whole Body that can pray authoritatively and shake the
whole nation. It can speak one authoritative Word against the
wickedness and make a remarkable difference to the whole nations.

The Body is raised not for fight, but as Light so that darkness disappears
on its own and as metal snake so that those who look at it will be saved.
After that Jesus will not doubt to come back for the Church.
It can be lifted up so that all tongues confess and all knees bow without
anybody’s instructions.
