God is wanting to raise up a generation that can establish the Kingdom, but they will only hear the challenge if the church gives the call. Many people are looking for a worldview that will give meaning and direction to life. The world desperately needs a vision; a vision that will not fade as so many others have. Without a vision, the people will perish (Prov 29:18). The church must give a vision that will stir young people to action.
The prophetic sound that they will respond to is one that has deep content, which emphasises a Christian worldview, the gospel of the kingdom of God, which speaks uniquely of bringing every sphere of life under the lordship of Christ (Denis Peacocke, The Sleeping Generation, 1983).
It is time for the church to issue a prophetic call for the building of the Kingdom.
God intends the church to build the Kingdom in this age, and a perfect opportunity lies before us. The kingdom of man is already shaking and beginning to disintegrate. After one last attempt to gain control, it will finally collapse and fall. This will leave a tremendous power vacuum in the world. Christians must be ready to step into the gap and exercise authority in God's name. If we take advantage of this opportunity, the Kingdom can be established in our time.
