Matthew 6:1-15
3 TESTS OF HIS KINGDOM HIS WILL OR MY KINGDOM MY WILL
1- Your secret relationship with money will determine A LOT about your secret relationship with God. Money is a tangible test of if I believe in building his kingdom, and submitting to his will… or if I’d rather focus on my kingdom and my will. There is a reward for those who will repeatedly do in secret what others do not see, because there is a promise that HE SEES AND HE REWARDS.
2- Your prayer life is not what others see, it’s what you do alone, in the quiet. There is a reward for this quiet, rhythmic, faithful commitment to a life of prayer. If you can remember more acts of sinning in secret than praying in secret there may be a “his kingdom but my will” theology present. Rewards from the secret will always be better than the affirmations of being seen.
3- The war you will fight everyday your eyes open; whose kingdom and whose will do you pursue? If it's his kingdom and his will, we must do the things he commands; both in public and in secret. Committing to the things that bring transformation, and pushing through the tension of sanctifying our flesh with his spirit and word. If it is our kingdom we want to come, and our will we want to be done.. Don’t be surprised if Jesus feels empty, boring, and distant. If we will not practice, he cannot produce.
