Kingdom Minded

The last words of Jesus to His disciples, prior to ascending to heaven were "Go, teach, baptize" (Matt 28:19). This has become known as "the great commission." Each and every follower of Christ is called to obey it. A kingdom minded people understands this and is willing to follow the Lord's call. However, many are like Jonah in the old testament - unwilling to obey. God has a way of getting our focus back on the Kingdom!!!

When God's Word is received it always yields fruit. God is a God of increase, He desires growth and expansion. According to the parable in Mark 4, when the seed of God's Word finds good soil, it produces a harvest 30, 60, and 100 fold. The question is, "are we sowing seed?" If we are - there will be increase!

The Kingdom of God is not made up of territory, material goods or what we see in the natural. It is a matter of surrending to the King's power, authority and rule. There is an open invitation to come and be a part of this Kingdom. The invitation has been made possible by Jesus Christ! As we accept it and become focused on building this Kingdom - all the resources of heaven are opened up to us!
