“KINGDOM WORTH”
For most of my ministry life, I have heard phrases such as: Kingdom work, build the kingdom, kingdom minded, etc. What is the Kingdom of God? What makes up the kingdom of God within this present world? The King, the King’s word, and the King’s people. King Jesus is very much present within His children, His word is very much available to His children, and the King’s kids are alive and well within the world today; we are His church!
Jesus references the kingdom as likened to a treasure hidden in a field and when a man finds it, he hides it within his heart and goes to make all the necessary steps to invest his life into gaining the entire field! The field is the world (Matthew 13:38). When a person is gloriously saved, he/she is brought into the Kingdom of God and equipped with the King, His word, and His people. When we are saved, we have been gifted with the most glorious treasure.
You know what else is hidden within this world? Millions upon millions of people who can be part of the Kingdom too! They’re all over the field/world, just as hidden treasures too. Those hidden treasures can become preachers, teachers, Church leaders, missionaries, wonderful parents, and on and on and on!
We have what it takes to find the Kingdom’s worth because we have the King, His Word, and we are His people. This is everything it takes to reach more people, just like hidden treasures in a field. The church I pastor has been gifted with so many wonderful people; before the Lord saved them, they knew nothing about Kingdom worth, now they have the King, the King’s word, and they have and are in the King’s family!
Matthew 13:38—” 38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom”
Mathew 13:44—” 44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath”
