BE KINGDOM MINDED

Matthew 6:33 

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

As a believer, being clueless about your future and destiny often stems from a lack of understanding of God’s plan for your life. Many fail to discover their purpose because they neglect to seek the Kingdom of God. However, Scripture reveals that God destined plans and purposes for your life before the foundation of the world. This means that every believer has a divine assignment but to unlock this purpose, the first crucial step is to direct your affection towards the Kingdom of God, prioritizing His will above all else.

Being kingdom-minded is prioritizing God’s will and purpose above all else. The will of God is for the Gospel of His son Jesus Christ to be preached in all the world leading to a massive harvest of souls. Our passionate pursuit of the fulfillment of this divine mandate causes us to invest time, energy, and resources. Consequently, in seeking the kingdom of God, your spirit opens up to begin knowing and understanding God’s purpose for you by His spirit and whatever you need to fulfil this purpose is revealed to you just like our opening text shows.

To really know where your heart is, check the factors that determine what you do and what takes first place in your life. Your mind, passion and desire should be focused on the kingdom of God if you want continuous access to God’s plan and purposes for your life. That way, you are never stranded or in lack. Glory to God!
