DEVOTIONAL: BE KINGDOM-CONSCIOUS AND FOCUSED
Rhapsody of Realities, February 18, 2024, by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy): Be kingdom-conscious and focused.
Topic: Be Kingdom Conscious and Focused (Rhapsody of Realities, February 18, 2024)
Of the increase of his government and peace, there shall be no end, upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom, to order it and to establish it with judgment and justice from henceforth, even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this (Isaiah 9:7).
Rhapsody of Realities for Today’s Message:
Our opening verse refers to the eternal reign and dominion of our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He’s also the one David prophesied about in Psalm 72:8 when he talked about a king who will rule over the nations of the world: “He shall have dominion also from sea to sea and from the river unto the ends of the earth.”
Our Lord Jesus heads the Kingdom of God, which we’re a part of. It’s a real, functional spiritual kingdom. Therefore, be kingdom-conscious and focused. Don’t focus your mind on this earth as though everything ends here; there’s a world that’s greater than this.
Colossians 3:1-2 says, “Seek those things which are above, where Christ siteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” These are the last days; therefore, more than ever, fix your gaze on the Lord and on His work. 1 Corinthians 15:58 says, “Be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”
Be on fire for the Lord all the time; be instant in season and out of season, proclaiming His truth. Make His Kingdom your focus.
CONFESSION
I function in the realm of the spirit, and nothing in this physical world matters to me. And indeed, through the unstoppable spread of the gospel, our kingdom reigns over the nations. Amen.
