FOCUS ON THE LORD AND HIS KINGDOM
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
with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this (Isaiah 9:7).
David prophesied of a king who will rule over the nations of the
world. He said in Psalm 72:8, “He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.”
Our opening scripture says concerning that King, “Of the increase
of his government and peace there shall be no end….” The Lord
Jesus heads the Kingdom of God, of which we’re a part. It’s a real
Kingdom; a functional spiritual kingdom. Our consciousness of the
Kingdom is important; we can’t focus our minds 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 sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” How? By being “… stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 15:58).
These are the last days; fix your gaze on the Lord and His Kingdom. Make Him your focus. Be on fire for the Lord all the time; be
instant in season, and out of season, proclaiming His truth.
CONFESSION
I’ve been transferred from the domain of darkness to the Kingdom
of God’s Love-son. Though I’m in the world, I’m conscious of the
heavenly Kingdom. I function from 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.
