Beloved, we should have our mind set on things above; that is God’s Kingdom. You should see heaven; a place of no sorrow, no pain, no tears and desire to see the same environment being replicated in the place of your work and endeavor. Your mind should constantly be thinking of, planning and devising methods of how best you can influence your environment for God.
BECOMING A KINGDOM
INFLUENCE
If you are going to be a person of influence then you must be set free from Uncle Sam system. Otherwise, the fear of being fired or demoted will always prevent you from standing up for the kingdom of God. Therefore to bring influence you must be free from the influence of Uncle Sam. If you are not free then no matter how much you are provoked by the evil happenings in your work environment you will be powerless to do anything about it.
Am sure you know that principles of kingdom righteousness are always resisted by the people of the world. But if you are no longer under Uncle Sam’s bondage you too can be resolute about your convictions and demand for and make the change. Christians should not dream of changing society if they continue to live under the influence of the world system. It is only when Christians set themselves free that they will assume the responsibility of being true ambassadors of the kingdom. They will become true ambassadors and agents of change on the earth.
To influence the system, you need to gain mastery of the rules and regulations that govern your industry then become a giant in that field.
Seeking and propagating the kingdom is living the way you were originally created to.
The lifestyle of a Christian should be to live the way they were originally created to, which is to seek and implement the kingdom of God and his righteousness on earth. To live for salary is to live far below your calling and purpose. Finding your calling is not that easy in this system which preconditions people for employment. Almost everyone goes through that phase of questioning trying to find their calling. The path to discovering your calling may not always be straightforward.
Christians are called to be rulers on the earth and they can only enter into this domain of rulership through self-emancipation. Your first priority must be spreading the kingdom of God. Uncle Sam teaches you to work for money and later spend it. When you gain freedom from the system your work becomes a tool to live for your purpose and fulfill your calling in life. The original life is for every Christian to live everyday for the sake of the kingdom. The passion must be to see God’s will on earth. Seeing the kingdom manifested should be the fuel that drives your every action. Every believer should have an underlying proclivity towards the earth being filled with God’s kingdom.
Allow me to conclude this chapter with the writings of Dr. Myles Munroe on the principle and concept of priority? He says priority is defined as:
The principal thing.
