It’s okay to have desires. As a matter of fact, what you don’t desire, you don’t deserve. It’s okay to work hard, but what isn’t okay is to work hard & get no results. Seek one thing first that guarantees small input but greater output. I’m not saying you should be lazy, but all your efforts will begin to make sense as you seek Him first.

In this post, I will first describe the phrase kingdom mindfulness, then charge you on Matthew 6:33; furthermore, I will show the benefits of kingdom mindfulness backed with proven testimonies (biblical & personal experience), afterward, I will expose the gods of the 21th century.

What’s the kingdom Mindfulness?

To be kingdom mindful means your heart is in the kingdom of God. You are passionate about the kingdom stuff or active in kingdom business. What matters to God matters to you.

There are a lot of values in being kingdom mindful.

Mathew 6:33

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

You see, God says, pursue after the Me first, and all the things that others are running after will run after you.

Benefits of Kingdom Mindfulness

You can see redirection of traffic. Life is an ordinary struggle without God’s factor.

I remember when I was struggling financially, the job I had then only paid peanuts with much input. I was so occupied with the job to the extent that I didn’t have time for God.

A day came, and I came to my senses and dropped my resignation letter without a new job on the table (crazy, right?). Our baby arrived a few months before the event. My family depends on me. Although life was hard after I left my job, I was able to serve God. Some months later, God showed up: I got a job I did not apply for that offered so much flexibility that allowed me to serve God with better pay. Now, I’m living a better life while serving my God actively.

In Luke 5, Peter and others toiled all night but had nothing. They were professional fishermen, but despite their expertise, they were still grounded. But when they gave Jesus the opportunity to step into their boat and cast their to the right side according to the instruction that Jesus gave, they had a net-breaking of harvest. 

Life’s a toil without Jesus. You may have been casting your net to the wrong side. Let Jesus into the boat of your life; He will show you where to invest your time, energy, and resources. Without Him, you can do nothing. Your breakthrough in life does not answer your knowledge, skills, and expertise, but to obedience to make for God first. 

In 1 King 17:13, Prophet Elijah asked the window of Zarepath to make little cake for him first even though there was a famine in the land. She obeyed, and God blessed her abundantly. All God is asking you is to sacrifice a small fraction of your time, energy, and resources for Him, and then everything else will fall into place for your good.

The gods of the 21th century

Here’s a time when we must be sensitive to the devices of the devil. The 21th-century gods are not what you think they used to be. No, they are not just graven images.

If you love something or someone so much to the extent of prioritising them above God, they are idols.

For instance, you love your wife, job, or favorite sports or TV show more than God. They are your idols. The danger here is that the consequences of idol worshipping are generational (Exodus 20:5). 

Don’t get it twisted. I’m not saying it’s bad to love your wife, job, sport, or TV show. They are all good, but let God be your number one interest. That’s how to procure His favor (Romans 8:28). 

To this end, we have examined the definition of kningdom mindfulness, its benefits, and the 21th-century gods in disguise. Kingdom mindfulness will continue to remain the answer to people’s challenges and struggles of life, business, career, marriage, health, and every other area of life till eternity.
