POWER COMES FROM KINGDOM MINDS
“Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.” John 11:27 NKJV
The church of Jesus Christ should be Kingdom of God-oriented and not personal empire-oriented. Don’t ask me to participate in your personal empire because I want no part in it. Empires fall without exception, but the Kingdom of Jesus Christ will indeed last forever. And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of His Kingdom, there shall be no end. – Luke 1:33 KJV
My life belongs to the Lord. Whatever I can do to build His Kingdom, I’ll do it. If that means helping a Baptist brother with his outreach or helping a Methodist brother with his revival, I’ll do it because it is not about me. It is about Jesus Christ and Him glorified. It is not about building something for me. It is about the building of His awesome Kingdom.
The Body of Christ is not a worldwide organization. It is a living organism that miraculously grows by the Spirit of God. This Body transcends race, language, culture, geographical location, and even generation.
It is not the generation that lifts up Jesus that is glorified; it is Jesus Himself. The Body is not ours, but the Lord’s. So it is with our thinking. My mind belongs to Jesus and forever will be in service to the King.
A Kingdom mentality keeps me submissive in my thinking and allows Jesus to truly be King, even in the secret areas of my thoughts. The greatest of all commandments was made clear on a bright sunny day some 2,000 years ago. Jesus replied, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.” Matthew 22:37-38 NKJV
Jesus said it then, and He is saying it now: our number one priority is to love God. Not just in our physical actions, but in our mental and emotional realms as well. He is faithful in serving us, so let us be faithful in serving Him. May God bless and invade your soul.
Declaration: Today I will ask Jesus to search my heart to see if there is any hidden thing I need to heal and release. I don’t want anything to be in the way of my full adoration and love for my Savior. I will steward my thoughts and keep them aligned with the mind of Christ. I walk in the joy of my salvation.
