Kingdom Routines

Everyday we have routines that keep us busy in everyday life. We take our kids to school, go to work. Come home, surf the web and watch some television and start the routine again. You may have a different routine but I know you understand what I am talking about. As a Christian I think getting in a routinue sometimes keeps us from doing what God will have us do.

Yes we have to work and yes there are some things that has to get done but we have to leave the door open and allow God to do something, shake some things up a bit. Jesus is a mover and shaker. Jesus is a surfer without the surf board. Jesus thinks and does things out of the box. He could of got in a boat but decided to walk on water. Jesus was dynamic and cool all in one. In today's churches we call people layman if there not educated or ordained for ministry. Layman sounds like a guy messing with horses and hay. Its such a boring word. Layman, Its like your not smart enough. I am a Pastor and I know God so just give the tithes and listen to your shepherd and maybe you will get into heaven.

I believe God is shaking up the church routine. We can make our routines idols in our lives. Jesus was Kingdom minded not trying to get the 1.8 million dollar house with blue shades and a swede couch watching cops on Saturday night eating beef jerky telling his friends bow down and worship me.

No. Jesus was always busy doing Kingdom business. I see Jesus in the bible as doing what had to get done even if no one else wanted to do it. Lets look at two things in the Word of God that can show us the Jesus of the bible not the Jesus some guy with a nice robe and pretty church you feel like your in someones house and you got to take your shoes off and you forgot to where socks. Those smelly feet.

We see here in Matthew chapter 3 verse 17, it says, From that time Jesus began to preach and say, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
When Jesus came on the scene He is telling them the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Then in Matthew chapter 6 verse 10 says Your Kindom come. You will be done, on earth as in heaven."
God wants us to experience heaven on earth as we are about His kingdom. We are not to be layman but kingdom agents. A kingdom agent is one that is looking to extend Gods kingdom.
How does someone extend Gods kingdom?

By Telling someone about Jesus and allowing Gods kingdom to touch that persons life. You should be about sharing the Word of God with the unchurched. Go in your neighborhood and tell them about Jesus. This was Jesus routine. He was about extending His Kingdom. After Jesus went to the cross and He resurrection He spent some time teaching before He ascended to heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father.

In Acts chapter 1verse 3 says, To these He also presented Himself alive after His suffering, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking of the things concerning the Kingdom of God."

Jesus was teaching them about His Kingdom. Right before He leaves to go to heaven He is talking to them about the Kingdom. Don't you see thats what its about. Instead of being a church attender be the church to someone else.

Continue to go to church but now, Extend Gods Kingdom by witnessing the cross, burial and resurrection. Tell them about the Kingdom of God. You can flow in that Kingdom. Stop getting caught up in your routine of life and get caught up in the Kingdom of routinue and thats extending Gods Kingdom.
