Introduction: We can make ourselves important, useful or significant in the kingdom of God. God takes note of them that has made themselves relevant in his kingdom.
Job made himself so relevant that God bragged with him before Satan (Job 1:8)
Men like Abraham (Gen 18:19), Moses (Numb 12:7-8) Paul (Acts 9:3-4), made themselves relevant that God recognize them.
Every believer has what it takes to make himself relevant in the kingdom of God.
How Do you make yourself relevant in the kingdom?
- You must live a life that matters to God (Gal 2:20)
Your life should advance His purpose on the earth (2Cor 5:20)
This life is not about fame, but about impact, obedience and spiritual fruitfulness. (Col 1:10) But first of all, you must understand your kingdom identity 👉 Mtt 6:33
Jesus saved you to represent God
Your identity shifts from worldly status to kingdom assignment. 👉 when identity is clear, purpose becomes clearer.
- Secondly you must prioritize the kingdom before anything
👉 John 4:34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
Kingdom relevance grows when kingdom agenda becomes a priority. (1Sam 2:30).
When King Solomon prioritized God by building his temple first, God gave him wisdom, fame, honour and wealth.
- Thirdly you must live a life of kingdom service
Kingdom greatness comes through service and not titles. (Job 36:11) Faithfulness in small assignment leads to bigger impact. (Luk 19:17)
Though the pastor and other members may not notice your service but heaven has taken record. Rev 2:19, 3:8)
- Fourthly you must be consistent in your spiritual growth
A disconnected believer would soon loss relevance. (Col 4:14, Philemon 1:14, 2Tim4:10) Therefore keep fervent your fellowship, prayer, service (Heb 10:25)
- Fifthly, maintain kingdom character
Daniel maintained kingdom relevance with many kings because of his character of excellence and fear of the lord. (Dan 1:8, 6:3)
Gift may bring you to visibility but character is what keeps you longer in relevance (Samson lack character and loss his relevance)
- Sixthly become a soul influencer
Your relevance is all about leading men to Christ (Mark 9:50)
Your godly behavior that encourages men to Christ is very important How many lives you touch is the proof of your relevance.
