Kingdom Values

Matthew 6:21-33

We cannot seek first the kingdom of God if we don't place value on God's kingdom and if God's kingdom has not become valuable to us.

Your values are your priority, standards and principles you live by.
Your values are what shows what's important to you.
The values we live by are very important.
The values you hold dear will shape your life and determine the kind of person you will be.
The values you have will determine your actions.

The values formed within us is usually determined by our upbringing and environment.
Every environment has it's own culture and value it passes into its people.
As people from God's kingdom we should be full of kingdom values.

God's kingdom has it's own values, so does Satan's kingdom which is also called the gates of hell.
There is no point praying warfare prayers in the direction of the spiritual location of Satan's kingdom when the values of Satan's kingdom are in the heart of our church members or we ourselves.
If we keep praying warfare prayers against the enemy but the enemy's values are in us, we haven't won against the enemy.

We need to have the culture of God's kingdom which is love, and we need to have God's kingdom values (virtues) formed within us.
If God's kingdom is of no value to you, how will you seek it first?

Your core values will motivate you to do things that become your habits.
Your core values may determine your motivation.
Your motivation will determine your actions.
Your actions will determine your achievements.

Kingdom values will make you-
1)Live a God glorifying life.
2)Choose holiness.
3)Look at things from a Biblical perspective.
4)Search the scriptures.
5)Pray.
6)Appreciate what God appreciates and hate what God hates.

We've been busy fighting outward battles when many of the things we need to fix are within.
We've been busy pointing accusing fingers when many of the values within us have brought us to where we are.
Jesus said we should fix ourselves before accusing another.
Matthew 7:5
He was telling us to get ourselves together before we can be fit to see what's wrong with another.
Let's check the values we live by.
How far have these values got us and where are they taking us to?
Let's embrace kingdom values.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
