The ministry of Bishop Dag Heward-Mills is large, international, and multi-layered. But behind all the growth and movement lies something essential—spiritual government. It is the invisible structure that sustains everything. It is what ensures that the work remains healthy, accountable, and aligned with God’s will.
From the beginning, Bishop Dag has understood that God is not the author of confusion. If anything is truly spiritual, it will also be orderly. That is why he has built his churches, teams, and leadership networks with systems, structure, and submission. There is divine order in how things are done.
He teaches that spiritual government is not about control—it is about stewardship. It is about building in a way that honors God’s principles. It is about ensuring that authority is respected, decisions are prayed through, and people are shepherded with integrity.
Leadership That Carries Weight
One of the pillars of Bishop Dag’s spiritual government is strong, godly leadership. He does not promote people based on popularity. He raises leaders through training, testing, and time. He believes that leadership must carry spiritual weight. The anointing must rest upon those who lead. And character must sustain them as they grow.
He teaches that every leader in the church must be a shepherd first. Whether you lead a department or oversee a mission, you must be someone who loves people and obeys God. Titles mean nothing without fruit. That is why his leadership teams are made up of men and women who are spiritually grounded and deeply committed to the work.
This kind of leadership has allowed the ministry to grow without losing its spiritual depth. Decisions are not made in haste. Direction is not taken without prayer. And the people trust their leaders because the leadership has been proven.
Authority That Submits to God
Bishop Dag teaches that all authority must submit to God. Even as a founder and overseer, he remains under the authority of the Word and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. He models submission in his own life. He does not lead by personal agenda—he leads by divine instruction.
He trains his pastors and leaders to walk in humility, to seek counsel, and to obey the chain of spiritual command. There is no room for rebellion in his government. There is no tolerance for disorder. Because he believes that the presence of God rests on the house that honors His order.
This spiritual government is not heavy-handed—it is Spirit-led. It allows for growth without chaos. It protects the sheep. It keeps the house clean. And it positions the ministry for longevity.
A House That Can Carry Glory
The ultimate goal of spiritual government is not control—it is to create a house that can carry the glory of God. Bishop Dag knows that God does not dwell in disorder. His presence fills temples that are built according to His pattern. And that is what he continues to build.
His churches do not just have structure—they have presence. The Holy Spirit is honored. The Word is obeyed. The leadership is accountable. And the people are equipped. This is not by accident. It is by spiritual government.
Through Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, the Church is learning again that growth without order leads to collapse. But when spiritual government is in place, the work becomes strong, sustainable, and anointed. And in such a house, God is pleased to dwell.
