Changing the World (3) - Locality by Locality

The Holy Spirit also works household by household. When Jesus commissioned his disciples, he sent them to a particular place, and urged them to focus on one household.

When you enter a house…. Stay in that house ... Do not move around from house to house (Luke 10:6,7).

The good news will spread from one household to the next.
When a group of Christians are established in a particular locality their effectiveness will be multiplied. They will form a community where the Kingdom God can be manifested.

• The stronger will encourage the weak
• The gifts of the Spirit will flow.
• Tens and Hundreds will form
• Justice will be administered
• Welfare will be provided
• People will be protected.
• A different lifestyle will be demonstrated
• The glory of God will be revealed.

The Kingdom of God will advance locality by locality.

The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough (Matt 13:33).

Each new locality will be a beachhead from which the Kingdom of God can be slowly expanded out into another neighbourhood.
