In this sermon Dr. Mike Woods Sr. presents a vision of Christian life as a kingdom‑building enterprise. He frames God as the Master Architect who has designed each believer’s purpose and calls believers to align fully with that divine blueprint. Woods contrasts fleeting movements with lasting "kingdom industrialists"—people who manage and manufacture resources for the kingdom rather than merely project ideas. He emphasizes that spiritual gifts are not for personal glory but are channels of the King’s anointing meant to transform others, and that true success is measured by the kingdom’s currency of faith, unity, continuity, and harvest. He urges listeners to seek divine wisdom (Sophia), to be diligent builders, to ensure their work continues after they are gone, and to expect divine reward for faithfulness. The message culminates in a corporate prayer for salvation, a call to receive the Holy Spirit, and an invitation to give a seed offering through the church’s website.

plane, what God has called you to do, or actually experience life financially. God, when we move where— so today I want to kind of go a little deep. You are a good store out here looking for money. They're looking for diligence to compensate. Get into this. Let's go to Matthew 1. Glory to God. Let's start your life. Can he honestly done— and I'm not just talking about in, in how holy you live. I'm, I'm talking about in how completely aligned you are with his plan. Can God look at your life being faithful to everything he said? Done. Single you to do. He's saying, I can depend on you to walk out my plan. My God, today he's like business in the earth realm on behalf of the dead. All of those things have happened in our ministry. Understand that doing business and have a presence of that same power that goes beyond the— for able to super transpose kingdom living in the life of those that encounter you. Okay, that belongs to God. Glory to God, glory to God. You go— I'm spending too much time with you, but you won't tithe 100. Yeah, crazy. Stay good. Come on. Is commanding— represents the presence. Be faithful. He would I'm on the end of the day. He said, I'll make you ruler over many things. Have you passed, leader, the few test? Steward. Every one of us to this planet, gifting leans us toward that. But really praying through to clarity and saying, God, I want to be clear that what I'm doing is what you designed me to do. One of the things my wife and I decree every day is that we don't want to miss it to the left or to the right. We want to be accurate in all things. That's our— that will be accurate when she walks because you and him— God, they've had enough— who are carrying out his purpose and doing what God has called them to do. Oh, so you gotta have chemistry, so you gotta have architecture. You gotta understand the architecture, your design. An architect designs, and we're gonna talk a little bit about that today. Architect designs a plan for a building or for something to be built. God is the master architect who has designed your life with specifics. And you gotta get a look at— but it is impossible, hear me, to advance the kingdom. One of the major problems in the body of Christ is people are looking for a movement. And what a movement can do, it has the ability— die! Again, a movement can project, but industry can provide. Movements never provide. They'll project to you what God can do, what God wants to do. But when you start raising up industrialists who are managing kingdom affairs, we start creating— oh God, hallelujah! I told somebody the other day, glory to the name of God, if I have to sell out, glory to the name of God, and not teach this kind of truth compromise and entertain people to get them to come to church. I'm not gonna sell out, so I'll just keep preaching to a small number of people if I have to, because at the end of the day, I want people to get this. And you know, I know he's teaching out of— listen to me— is gave birth to some citizens of the home country that are here, glory to God, to manage his affairs and exercise his authority, his influence, his dominion, his power on earth. Nature of a king, he concerned about the other, is that everything gets better. Saved to now, glory to God, my life has over my life that I've been able to hold up. I think of the kingdom is heir to those that are Number 5— number 4— that can do things, that they are anointed by the King. The gifts never come for you. The gift begins to impact others. What happens now? Yokes are destroyed. People literally change because of your gift. I see it every single day. The gifts on my life, I understand they are not for me. Whether I'm traveling around this world preaching somewhere, whether it's on social media, whether I'm showing up planting this little church in Atlanta, or my church in Jackson, Mississippi, or in the DMV, no matter where I am, the gifts show up for people. This is why we have so many perverted people on this planet who, who flaunt their gifts for fleshly and selfish reasons, because they think— hear me, oh my God— the gifts are about them. But the gifts are about the anointing that flows through the kingdom. Hallelujah! Glory to God! I'm almost done. Number 7: the success in the kingdom. So it has a currency, has a commonwealth. So at the end of the day, we have to put faith in the King so that we can tap into the currency, the current, the flow of wealth that flows through the King. Our faith has to be in his ability to take care of us. The strength of the kingdom is unity, number 9. And number 10, the access to the kingdom— watch this, here we go— to have access to the kingdom We gotta study a little because they want religion, they don't want ministry. They don't want this kind of teaching. They want to, they want to get excited. Glory to God. They don't want to be taught. Hallelujah. Let me go. Till now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, listen, but the violent taketh it by force. In other words, whoever's going to win this battle is going to be the one that's the most forceful. I told you that the power of the kings through force— that's why you need apostles and apostolic spearheads in your life to help you press through the force that's coming against your place. Move him out and begin to erect kingdom authority. But we cannot do that— watch this— we got to displace the enemy and become an example to the world that our way is the right way. You know how the world leans on the world system? Doing things, whether it's spiritual, financial, or otherwise, is because to them the culture has proved that this is the way I'm supposed to do it. That it has been— and making a linear income. But you can't do that if you don't— hallelujah— use the currency of faith in the King to promote you in ways that you never dreamed you could be. You got to believe that that this is yours. You gotta believe— hear me— that you can have this. I gotta go, I gotta go. Planting a prophetic and spermatic seed into the world, into the atmosphere, that gives birth to kingdom models that people would be willing to adhere to. Lord have mercy, help us. Glory to God. Hallelujah. So we're managing kingdom industry. Industry, listen to this, is consistent and diligent manufacturing that mass— ma'am, sir, create resources that is controlled by the 3% industry. Watch this, accomplish this large person's desire. Hear me, press. That's why I— you continue to walk in it. Let me tell you, and at the end of the day, as soon as that person is gone, they keep gathering to church. Perform. He said, I have laid a foundation as a wise master builder. And someone else should build with care. Listen, if I got some stuff done before in the past— oh my God, Joseph Prince and Creflo ain't teaching that grace. They teaching the grace about sin and about getting away with what you want to do, and then we're free. Listen, the real part of grace is tapping into your super ability to do— glory to God— what has never been done in the past because you tapped into your own authentic ability. And guess what? The grace. Secondly, Paul told us, Sophia, in Greek here it means a— watch this— a prophetic sequencing of events according to God's mind. So you walk out your life not based on what's on your mind, but what's on God's mind. Oh, that's real wisdom. And the Bible said, if any man lack wisdom— come on, James— let him ask God, who gives it liberally and doesn't take it back. Oh, glory to God. So some of you walking around without wisdom, without Sophia, without skill, without prophetic ability, without prophetic power, because you refuse to ask God. Bad manager of kingdom affairs because you don't do it for life. Standing, standing. That's about you standing. That's about you. I gotta go, man. Paul shows— he says, I'm a wise master builder. So number 4, in order to have a successful work or to manage effectively, we got to have building skills. Oh, that's the ability to properly construct things. Listen to this: using kingdom principles. Let me just step up here a minute, get close. I can't— this camera— listen, many of you have been building stuff. Oh, we— would you learn how to manage kingdom principles in a way that you can construct things from kingdom principles? And not through your own principles. I'm almost done, I promise you. Number 5— y'all hear me talk about this all the time. Paul talks about in that verse continuity. This is the industrious attitude and focus— watch this— on the finished work of the kingdom. And remember, the work is not finished until there's succession. Until there's something left behind that others can continue to build on. Continuity— it has to continue after you go. And number 6— oh my God, I'm almost done— reward. Hallelujah! He shows us that a successful work always gives us the reward. This is the harvest for remaining faithful and sticking to the plan. Listen, sometimes it's going to get tough, so real good, but I need you to realize something. There's power in managing kingdom affairs. There's power in being an industrialist. There's a reward that comes from continuing. Let's pray. Father, in Jesus' name, this word superimposes itself upon them they will take it in and do it. In the name of Jesus, I give you praise for it now. In Jesus' name, amen, and thanks be to God. With us, I wanted one thing with us. We forgot— if any man in, and I'll sup with him, and he would pray this prayer with me. Just say, Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, say that you died and rose again. Say, Father, I receive the gift of the Holy Ghost in Jesus' name. I declare today I am a kingdom citizen in Jesus' name. Amen. Listen, if you prayed that prayer with me, I want you to know you are saved. Listen, if you're watching from where you are, go to rhodachurch.com. If you repented today, you're saved in Jesus. Before we go, I want to challenge every person watching us now to get a seed in the ground of any size you're led to give, but trust the Lord in your giving today. If you're connected to this church, of course it is appropriate to tithe. Glory to the name of God. Give and it shall be given unto you good measure. One, of course, go to rhodochurch.com. You can also utilize your seed in the ground. It's going to be multiplied back to you 1,000 times more
