God Doesn’t Want You to Have a Good Week After You Die Let’s get one thing straight:Erick on Earth: A Kingdom Perspective is a reader-supported publication.

Dr Munroe often said “The greatest tradgey in life is not death, but a life without purpose”

This truth changed my life.

The Lost Message of the Kingdom

Many believers today feel stuck, unfulfilled, and unsure of their purpose. They’ve been taught that the goal of salvation is just to make it to heaven—but Jesus didn’t just preach salvation; He preached the Kingdom. So why doesn’t the modern church focus on the message Jesus taught?

Somewhere along the way, the message changed. Instead of seeing themselves as ambassadors of God’s government on earth, many believers have been conditioned to wait for heaven while enduring life on earth. But if Jesus’ main message was the Kingdom, why is it missing from so many churches today?

Over the next few posts, I’ll break down how this shift happened, why it matters, and what we need to do to restore the true Gospel of the Kingdom. If you’ve ever felt like there’s more to your faith than just waiting for the afterlife, this is for you.

One of the greatest flaws of religion is that it traps people in a cycle of maintaining the status quo. It conditions believers to focus all their energy on staying holy, faithful, obedient, and saved—as if salvation is something we must preserve by our own efforts. But this is not the message of the Kingdom.

Jesus already accomplished our salvation. We are not called to live in fear of losing it, but to walk in faith and fulfill our Kingdom assignment. The goal is not just to "hold on" but to advance. Religion keeps people stagnant, but the Kingdom moves people forward—from glory to glory (2 Corinthians 3:18). Our purpose is not to struggle to stay saved but to live as ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20), bringing Heaven’s will to Earth.

“Your destiny was chosen by God, but its fulfillment is decided by you.”

Myles Munroe

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! May your hearts and minds be full of the rich memories of all the blessings that God has bestowed on you in your life. It may be a hard time right now in your life, but remember you have come so far already.

God has given us many great and precious promises, so if where you are today is not where God showed you. Then take comfort that you are only passing through and there are great things ahead.
