TOPIC: WHAT IS YOUR KINGDOM FOCUS?
SCRIPTURE: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Setting and actualizing your Kingdom focus is key to actualizing all the other focuses of your life.
It has been established that one way to maximize a new season is to identify what to put ahead of you; and this is called focus or vision.
This focus may be a career focus, an academic focus, a spiritual focus, or a family focus, etc.
Many people have different focuses, like a business focus, a career focus, a family focus, etc., but they neglect or leave out the Kingdom focus, hence, they could not achieve the other focuses in life.
Our anchor Scripture makes it clear that seeking first the Kingdom of God is key to accessing all other focuses of life.
When I was called into Ministry, for thirteen years, my wife and I lived in rented apartments. We had the resources to build our own house, but building the House of God was our priority. I had other focuses of life, but I put Kingdom focus first and deployed my life, time, resources, energy, potentials and all that I had into actualizing the Kingdom focus.
And God is faithful. Today, having a house is not a prayer point. God has given me houses because I decided to seek His Kingdom first.
There are so many people who are saying, “I want to build a house in Abuja, another house in Lagos, another house in Paris” without having a Kingdom focus.
And God seems to say, “Okay, you want to build all those houses, what will you do for the Kingdom? And if you do not have any plan for my Kingdom, how will you achieve your own plans?”
Beloved, setting and actualizing your Kingdom focus is key to actualizing other focuses of your life.
REMEMBER THIS: Setting and actualizing your Kingdom focus is key to actualizing other focuses of your life.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. What is your Kingdom focus for this year? Do you have one?
2. Set a Kingdom focus and trust God to actualize it.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to set my Kingdom focus ahead of other focuses of my life. Help me to seek first Your Kingdom, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
