Have you forgotten you belong to a Kingdom that can't be shaken?

In Matthew 6:33, Jesus gave every Christian ambassador a clear mandate:

“Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness” (Matthew 6:33 NKJV).

Our Lord couldn’t have spoken the heavenly call more clearly.

But today, many believers don’t even know what God’s kingdom is. It’s time for that to change.

You see, God has given the church a primary mission: seek the Kingdom of God—welcome the transforming influence of Jesus’s reign in our lives and our world.

The original Greek shows the importance of this command: the word translated “seek” is zēteite (ζητεῖτε), which means desire, endeavor, or enquire for, and the word translated “first” is próton (πρῶτον), which means before, at the beginning, chiefly, at first or first of all.

Jesus commands us to seek, desire, enquire after, and endeavor for the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and to do it first, chiefly, and before anything else!

No longer can we allow the transformative call of God’s kingdom to occupy a small part of our lives—it must become our lives!

We should be consumed with our pursuit of God’s kingdom and its redemptive influence in the world.

And that’s exactly the problem.

Many of us rarely think of God’s kingdom, let alone pursue it before anything else.

Truth is, most of us have forgotten we belong to this worldwide revolutionary kingdom, so we see no further than our local churches and denominations.

As a result, we waste away the years, devoting our attention solely to our family leisure, hobbies, home church, or personal ministry, and leaving God’s worldwide invasion of light to others.

We desperately need to recover a vision of God’s kingdom so we can experience its redemptive power and spread it to the whole world.

That’s the ambassador’s job description, after all!

These days, many try to deny the reality of Hell. But Jesus talked about it more than anyone in the Bible. What did He say about it? And how should it impact our mission and message?

🚨 Warning—this video could reignite your love for those who don't know Jesus.

According to the World Evangelism Research Center, about 40% of mission resources go to just ten oversaturated countries.

Think about it—how often have you heard a friend is taking another foreign mission trip to a Latin American country?

The same Latin American country ten of your other friends recently visited for missions?

How often do mission teams spend $50,000 to accomplish a task the native church could have accomplished for a fraction of the cost?

The truth is, Jesus's disciples often send…
❌ the same exact teams
❌ to the same exact countries
❌ to re-evangelize the same exact people
❌ in the same exact locations
❌ with the same exact skits and songs they’ve encountered for decades.

Meanwhile, almost half the world (43.8%) has scarcely heard Jesus’s good news—but the church sends them only 1.7% of an already minuscule missions budget (Traveling Team).

Listen—we’re not against short-term mission trips. We’ve hosted them ourselves, and we’ll happily do so again with wisdom. We celebrate when we hear about God's work through them.

But let's be real. It’s time to shift our focus toward cultures with scarce access to Jesus's good news.

Those typical mission-trip hubs should be able to mostly evangelize themselves by now, don’t you think?

If you’re ready to send Jesus’s hope to the unreached, we’re here to help.

Not everyone can go, but we can all give, pray, and advocate their cause with our peers.

Do you see others through Jesus's eyes?

2 Corinthians 5:16, 18 says, “From now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view... God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation” (NIV).

1️⃣ How robust is your understanding of God’s love for others?

2️⃣ Do you look at people through the lens of God’s love for them?

3️⃣ How or how not?

4️⃣ If not, what scriptures can you meditate upon to transform your vision of others?

5️⃣ Ask Jesus to reveal at least one person you’re not viewing through the lens of His great love. How would you treat them if you looked through God’s eyes?

🙏📓 We invite you to take a moment to pray, meditate, and privately journal your thoughts.

How does Jesus rule and reign on the Earth, thereby transforming souls and societies?

After all, the Old and New Testaments attest that the throne of God’s kingdom has always been in Heaven:

🟨 In Psalm 11:4, David tells us, “The Lord’s throne is in Heaven” (NKJV).

🟨 In Revelation 4:2, John’s vision attests the same: “a throne [was] set in Heaven, and One sat on the throne” (NKJV).

🟨 The author of Hebrews declares that King Jesus is seated “at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in Heaven” (Hebrews 8:1).

It’s from Heaven—not Earth—that God the Father rules and reigns (Revelation 3:21), Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and the Holy Spirit is dispatched to bring the life and power of the Kingdom of God to Earth (Acts 2:33).

Then how does Jesus bring salvation, healing, and restoration to a sinful world today?

The answer is simple but startling—Jesus uses us, Heaven’s worldwide body of ambassadors, to invade the world with the holy light of His reign as we declare and deliver His salvation to lost humanity.

You see, God the Father “appointed [Jesus] to be head over everything for the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills everything in every way” (Ephesians 1:22-23).

He is the head of the Kingdom, but we act on His behalf as His body.

As Peter proclaimed, “You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light” (1 Peter 2:9).

And as Revelation 5:10 reveals, “You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the Earth.

”Yes, in a crucial sense, we are God’s revolutionary kingdom!

God’s Kingdom will take physical form during Jesus’s thousand-year reign (see Revelation 21:1-7)—but until then, as Jesus says, “The Kingdom of God is in you” (Luke 17:21 KJV).
