The Church
Pastor Daniel Kaira delivers a radical redefinition of the church not as a place of worship, but as a divine government with executive, legislative, and judicial authority. Drawing from scripture and civic governance, he argues that every believer is a 'king and priest' empowered by the anointing of Christ to legislate, interpret, and enforce divine decrees in their homes, workplaces, and communities. The church, he insists, is not a passive institution awaiting heaven but an active, sovereign body that must exercise governance—making laws, interpreting them through spiritual doctrine, and enforcing them with divine authority. He uses the Zambian Local Content Law as a model of how divine governance operates, showing how favor and policy can be weaponized for breakthrough. The sermon culminates in a call to action: believers must stop seeing themselves as subjects and start acting as rulers, declaring, 'I am the government' in every sphere of life.
The church is not a building but a divine government with executive, legislative, and judicial powers infused into every believer.
You are not just a member of the church—you are a king and priest, authorized to make decrees, interpret laws, and enforce them in your sphere.
The anointing of Christ is not just for preaching but for governance: it empowers you to legislate, interpret, and execute divine decrees.
Divine favor is not based on merit but on spiritual inheritance—like the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur, it operates independently of human qualification.
When you face a crisis, don’t just pray—govern. Declare a law, interpret it spiritually, and enforce it with authority in Jesus’ name.

The Church as Divine Government
“The church is not just waiting to go to heaven, to run away from the problems of the world. No, my brother. The church is there to exercise the governance of the Christ, the governance of the Lord Jesus as a body we are to exercise government.”
The Macro Body: The Church as the Body of Christ
He examines the church at a macro level—ecumenical, interdenominational—using Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12 to show that every believer is a necessary part of Christ’s body, each with unique functions.
Christ as Anointing, Not Just a Person
“Christ is anointing. It is the empowerment. I'm saying two dimensions. It's anointing. It's the endowment that makes the man Jesus capable of accomplishing what he accomplished.”
Six Dimensions of the Anointing
He outlines six divine functions of the anointing: preaching, healing broken hearts, proclaiming liberty, restoring sight to the blind, setting the oppressed free, and bringing favor.
Anointing in Preaching and Public Influence
Kaira emphasizes that the anointing enables believers to speak with authority, not just in pulpits but in politics, business, and public life, where divine strategy moves people to action.
“The church is not just waiting to go to heaven, to run away from the problems of the world. No, my brother. The church is there to exercise the governance of the Christ, the governance of the Lord Jesus as a body we are to exercise government.”
“Technically speaking and for purposes of this conversation, Christ is anointing. It is the empowerment. I'm saying two dimensions. It's anointing. It's the endowment that makes the man Jesus capable of accomplishing what he accomplished.”
“It's not only time that heals emotional wounds. It says the spirit of God. The spirit of God. Listen, if your heart broken don't say I have to wait for the next two years to heal. No! Say, Holy Spirit, you can heal me.”
