Resuming our discussion on "The Kingdom Factor", we look again at our key verse of scripture found in Matthew 6:33, wherein Jesus says the following: "But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." (NRSV).
By the kingdom of God being a factor, means that it has an influence on the outcome of the quality and success of our lives. In other words, what we choose to do or choose not to do with the kingdom of God, will determine the outcome of the quality and success of our lives. Now, understand that when I say, "quality and success...", I am not speaking of money, fame, or fortune, but rather, I am speaking of the success of our souls. For Jesus says the following in Matthew 16:26, "For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?" Thus, true success and quality of life is to be able to say, "It is well with my soul"; and this ability is only found in Jesus and seeking first His kingdom (His rule, reign and will) and His righteousness. "The Kingdom Factor."
