Being kingdom Focussed

‘A Disciple is aware of and focussed on the Kingdom of God’ (Ryan Higginbottom)


There’s a difference between the church we attend and the kingdom of God.
Church is a great thing; it’s an important thing. But when Christians focus solely on the church we can forget about the bigger picture of kingdom of God.


As disciples of Jesus, we are reassured that the kingdom of God is within us (Luke 17:21).  As a disciple spends time with, and learns from Jesus, we will then be motivated to serve him with a pure heart and a motive of love — not an obligation or a checklist.  We then respond by coming to church to worship, serve, and fellowship with other believers. 


Disciples recognise that they are ambassadors for the King in the world, and seek to spread the kingdom of God every day of the week wherever we are, not just in a particular building on Sundays.  For some this can be a radical shift in thinking, but when the motivation shifts from generating church membership to growing the kingdom of God, the focus from ‘us’ to ‘Him’, and the expression of faith from Sunday to everyday, then we are truly set free!


Are you ready to be kingdom focussed?
