Prioritize the Kingdom

“And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.” 
Mark10:29-30(KJV)

Our opening scripture are the words of Jesus to us stressing the importance of prioritizing the gospel of the kingdom. The Lord Jesus who is the Head of the kingdom of God assures you that whatever you sacrifice to see that the gospel of the kingdom is preached,  you will receive a hundredfold in this world. See Luke 18:29-30.

This means that there is nothing that you sacrifice for the spread of the gospel of the kingdom that will ever be a loss to you. Soul winning is the Father's priority and that is why Jesus made preaching the gospel of the kingdom His priority. Jesus said in John 4:34-36, “… My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: …”

Jesus said in John 4:36, “And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: …” This means that whenever you win souls God rewards you, that is how much God prioritizes soul winning. Therefore I encourage you to prioritize the kingdom because prioritizing the kingdom is the key to having all your needs met. This is why the Bible says in Matthew 6:33, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
