SEEK THE KINGDOM

(Establish And Extend God’s Kingdom)

📖 “...Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Matthew 6:33)

In our walk with God, it’s super important to remember why we’re here on earth. What’s our main purpose as Christians? Well, it’s to establish and spread God’s Kingdom to the ends of the earth. The Bible says, “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea” (Habakkuk 2:14 ESV). It’s our responsibility to make this happen—it’s our job!

Matthew 28:19 gives us clear instructions from the Lord: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” Basically, He wants us to make students or pupils of the nations. What a calling; what an incredible mission!

Some people think God is running the world on His own, and whatever happens is just His will. But if that were true, why would Jesus teach His disciples to pray in this manner: “...Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:9-10)? Why admonish them to pray that way if God’s will is always being done in the earth? We pray that way because it’s our responsibility to enforce His will in the earth.

God’s will is always done in heaven, but in the earth, only God’s people can pray His will into manifestation. So, in prayer, speak forth salvation in your city, state, and country. Pray that righteousness fills the land and the Gospel has free course and is glorified, resulting in a massive harvest of souls into the Kingdom. Amen.

PRAY

Dear Father, your Kingdom reigns and is established in the earth and in the hearts of men as the Gospel is proclaimed around the world today. The light of the Gospel shines evermore in all nations, resulting in great testimonies of salvation, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
