[Some more great thoughts from my cousin John Dayalan Edward. Agree? Disagree? -- Ernie P.]

The force of influence that God has chosen to bring His kingdom to people is Love. The Love (of Christ) that is displayed through our lives, words and actions. This is what births the kingdom in people.
Finances, politics and other means like them only serve to help the cause of the kingdom and could be useful tools when applied with Love. However by themselves they are useless.

Many of us have the former as our number one priority and sadly believe that when we can achieve success in those areas, the kingdom is ready for Christ. Church we need to wake up, we can be politically strong, have all the money in the world and be influential in the realms of this world, but if we don’t display the very basic characteristics of God’s kingdom, which is Love, Righteouness, etc through our lives everything else is useless. If we don’t get this, Christ will choose a people that have Love and nothing but love, rather than a people that have no Love but all the resources in the world.
