When you hear and respond to GOD’S Voice, you start aligning with HIS Divine priorities!
What are your priorities? Do they align with GOD’S?
The world has its own set of priorities, and they are opposed to what FATHER has instructed us to focus on as HIS elect. Our callings are meant to promote FATHER’S priorities on this earth. As we are led by The Holy Spirit, our focus will shift from the world’s priorities to FATHER’S priorities, and we will walk daily full of joy.
Jesus established the means to walk in FATHER’S priorities when He spoke in Luke chapter 4:
4 But Jesus answered the adversary, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every rhḗma (uttered or spoken) Word of God.‘”
Jesus revealed FATHER’S number one priority when He instructed us to pray in Matthew chapter 6:
9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be Your Name. 10 Your Kingdom come. Your Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
In other Words, manifest Your Kingdom realm, and cause Your every purpose to be fulfilled on earth, just as it is in Heaven. How is He to accomplish this? Through those of us who hear HIS Voice and carry out HIS instructions.
Objective #1: It’s for GOD’S Kingdom to come to earth.
The reason Jesus came was to bring GOD’S Kingdom to earth. You and I are here to assist in this process. This should be the first priority in our life if we are truly His disciples. If we want to be in harmony with GOD, this must be our highest priority above anything else. This is doing the Will of GOD.
And Jesus further spoke:
33 But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things (that we need every day in life) shall be added to you.
You don’t have to pursue things if you are fully committed to GOD. HE will provide for you far and above your needs and righteous desires.
Jesus spoke again in Matthew chapter 10:
7 And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.’
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.”
This is the message of the Gospel: The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. You can join if you like if you meet the conditions. If you don’t meet the conditions, you are excluded.
And again, in Matthew chapter 24:
14 And this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
Jesus stated the one requirement for the Kingdom to come, all nations must hear the Gospel. So, the top priority for us is to do our part in taking the Gospel to all nations. This is a message of a Kingdom and only one King.
Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 17:
5 But many of the Jews were motivated by bitter jealousy and formed a large mob out of the troublemakers, unsavory characters, and street gangs to incite a riot. They set out to attack Jason’s house, for he had welcomed the apostles into his home. The mob was after Paul and Silas and sought to take them by force and bring them out to the people.
6 When they couldn’t find them, they took Jason instead, along with some of the brothers in his house church, and dragged them before the city council. Along the way they screamed out, “Those troublemakers who have turned the world upside down have come here to our city.
7 And now Jason and these men have welcomed them as guests. They’re traitors to Caesar, teaching that there is another king named Jesus.”
Are we ready to challenge the world’s priorities like Paul and Silas did in Thessalonica? GOD’S Kingdom is coming, and you can be included or excluded but you cannot stop it from coming! This should be our message.
When we openly proclaim that message, we should expect the following to result: the sick get healed, the lepers get cleansed, the dead are raised, and the demons are cast out. You and I need to expect these things to happen as we openly proclaim The Kingdom.
Apart from GOD, man does not have it within himself to solve the problems of war, sickness, or poverty. Our King will bring righteousness to the earth and in turn will bring peace. Without righteousness, there will be no peace.
It is recorded by THE SPIRIT in Isaiah chapter 57:
21 “There is no peace,” Says my God, “for the wicked.”
The wicked want to keep America in perpetual wars because of the love of money and power. There will be no peace in the Middle East until the King of Righteousness has returned. It should be our priority to spread The Gospel for the Kingdom to come. Only then will there be peace on earth and goodwill toward all men.
