LIVING THE KINGDOM
January 19, 2020 | Jason Corbin
“Sense you have been raised into new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not of this earth. For you died to this life and your real life, is hidden with Christ. And when Christ, who is your life is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all His glory.” Colossians 3:1-4 (NLT)
“Everything was created for him and through him, He existed before anything else and he holds all of creation together.” Colossians 1:16-17 (NLT)
“Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart.” Colossians 4:2 (NLT)
“In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God...” Luke 15:7 (NLT)
“Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone.” Colossians 4: 5-6 (NLT)
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. And now the prize awaits me – the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:7-8 (NLT)
“Paul said this Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing.” 1 Corinthians 9:24-26 (NLT)
“I prayed a strange prayer today. I covenanted with my Father that he would do either two things. Either glorify Himself to the utmost in me, or slay me. By His grace, I shall not have His second best. He heard me I believe, so that now, I have nothing to look forward to but sacrificial sonship, or heaven soon. Perhaps tomorrow. What a prospect!” Jim Elliot
“I have one desire now - to live a life of reckless abandon for the Lord, putting all my energy and strength into it.” Elizebeth Elliot
THE MORE WE SET OUR MINDS ON THE KINGDOM OF GOD, THE MORE WE BRING THE KINGDOM OF GOD INTO THE KINGDOM OF MAN.

Jesus told all that would choose to follow Him to seek first, above all things His Kingdom. GENESIS will set aside the first twenty-one days of 2020 to pray asking God one question: how would God have you invest in His Kingdom over the next decade?
