To reign in this wicked world, believers must understand the mystery of living a ‘kingdom first’ life. It is our lack of understanding of this teaching of Jesus Christ that has brought most of the frustrations to the lives of believers. Many of us also want to live like the people of the world around us. We have forgotten that the Spirit in us is not of the world. (John 17:14). 

What is this mystery? It is a mystery of focusing and spending our lives on God’s purposes for our lives above all things to bring glory to God. The Bible says, all other things shall be added unto us. This does not mean that we shall not work, build houses and buy cars, but it will not be with stress. This is bringing glory to God through all we do. This is not saying that we should not plan on how we are going to build and buy. But we should not see them as the utmost in life. Because of this, many people now lack joy and peace, have hypertension and go into all the dubious practices to accumulate wealth (Luke 12:15). 

To seek first the kingdom of God is to live to achieve, bringing glory to God in all you do (1 Corinthians 10:31). It is to be a committed member and promote the body of Christ, the church, wherever you are (Ephesians 1:5 NLT). It is to seek to grow to maturity in the likeness of God (Romans 8:29). To be a blessing to all around your life through your gifts, grace and abilities (Ephesians 2:10). To bring others to the kingdom of God through your life (Matthew 28:19-20). As we give our attention to God’s will and purpose for our lives, He will teach us the way to go and be profitable in life (Isaiah 48:17). What the world is dying to attain, you will live to attain without stress.

Prayer: Lord, help me to daily enjoy living in your purpose for my life.

“AS YOU GIVE ATTENTION TO GOD, HE WILL GIVE ATTENTION TO YOU”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

MASTER’S MINAS

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 Devotional:- “For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” (V. 17) NLT  God has a purpose behind every problem. God depends more on circumstances to grow our character than reading the Bible; this is because we have challenging circumstances twenty four seven. The word of God made us to see challenges in our life as normal (1 Peter 4:18). Your deepest expression of worship is mostly in the darkest days. It is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heart-felt and honest prayers to God (James 5:16). God would have kept Jeremiah from the throne to the pit, Joseph from been thrown into the jail, Paul from been shipwrecked or the three Hebrew from been thrown into the fire but he left those problems to himself. You will never know that God is all you need until God is all you have.  Everything that happens to you has spir...
