KINGDOM MINDEDNESS

1/31/2019

0 Comments

 
The other day I was reading a devotional on the kingdom of God and it ended with this, “We need to be kingdom minded in everything we say and do”.  Now this really made me stop and think about what it actually means to be kingdom minded. What does that look like?

Being kingdom minded is when we are aware that this is only our temporary home and each of us has a unique purpose here to help further the kingdom of God. We know that what we do is not for us, but for God.
We need to be kingdom minded in everything we say and do"
But what does it look like to be kingdom minded? What would someone see in us?  And how do we become kingdom minded and continue to grow in that mindset? 
 
4 Things People Should See

1. They should see God at the center of our lives.
To be kingdom minded is to keep God at the center of all that we do. We are aware of our actions                             and whether they would glorify God.

2. They should see us reaching out to others, and serving.
 Being kingdom minded is to have a servant heart. It is reaching out to the poor and needy, even if                           we don’t benefit from it ourselves. Serving in the community is as important as serving
  in the church.

3. They should see us sharing our testimonies.
 Sharing our testimony is so important. You may think your testimony isn’t worth sharing, but trust                         me it always is. Even if you didn’t have a huge life changing event happen, or an exciting                                                         transformation story, your story still shares of God’s grace and love. And that is always
 worth sharing!

4. They should see that our priority is not our own agenda but God’s.
 Being kingdom minded is to put God’s agenda before our own. Our number one priority should be                         furthering God’s kingdom by sharing of God’s love, peace, joy and grace.
However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.
-Acts 20:24

4 Tools and Practices to Help Us Be Kingdom Minded

1. Devotions and Prayer
 Spending quiet time with God in devotions and prayer is a great way to stay kingdom minded. This                       time will help you build your relationship with God and learn more of what he has in store for you!

2. Attend Church
 Attending church is a great place to learn more about God and what it looks like to further his                                       kingdom. You can also build strong relationships with other church goers. These people can 
 encourage you and walk alongside you in your journey to be more kingdom minded.

3. Become more Missions Orientated
Get involved in missions. Support a missionary, pray for a missionary, or go on a missions trip. These                 are great ways to get involved in furthering of the kingdom.
 Supporting a missionary financially and in prayer is as important as going. Help in the way you think                God is calling you to.

4. Bring God into all Daily Activities
 Bringing God into all your daily activities allows God to be fully involved in your life. When God is                         fully involved you will be able to show God’s love and grace in every area of your life.
 
We are here on earth for a purpose. God calls us to glorify him in all that we do and say. Wherever we may be on the scale of kingdom mindedness, there is always room for growth. Our purpose is so much bigger then we can imagine and it will take time and effort to achieve. What have you been doing that shows you are kingdom minded? And what will you change to become more kingdom minded? Let these 4 views and 4 tools/principals help and encourage. ​
Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” 
-1 Corinthians 10:31
