God's Kingdom is His Children

Matt. 25:40 (35–45) (Matthew 25) - "Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

This is the clearest example of Christ making it clear that God's children are as important as Himself.

2 Nephi 26:29 (2 Nephi 26) "They seek not the welfare of Zion"

Priestcrafts are when someone lifts themselves up to be seen and praised by the world but don't do so to bring good into the world.

v.31 201505220000 (2 Nephi 26) - If you're going to build God's kingdom, you need to do it for God's kingdom. If you build God's kingdom for the money, you're doing it for the wrong reasons.

This seems to say that the laboring for God is equivalent to building up his children. It's not like God's kingdom is a bunch of architecture or infrastructure. It's not like it needs a ton of angel investors. It needs good people being good to other people. God's Kingdom (with a capital K) is literally His children.
