Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. – Hebrews 12:2
We shared last week that “operating in the ‘faith of the mustard seed’” is to see the potential of Kingdom DNA, to see the vision of the tree behind the mustard seed. Jesus also modeled for us this principle.
Hebrews 12:2 says that by the joy set before Him, Jesus endured the cross. This incredible joy, powerful enough to motivate Jesus to take up His cross, is the vision of His Bride and Wife – the New Jerusalem, the epicenter of His coming Kingdom and the dwelling place of the “Lord God Almighty and the Lamb”. Even though the church today seems small and feeble, like a mustard seed, Jesus saw the “tree” through our Kingdom DNA. This “tree” is the New Jerusalem, the glorious manifestation of the church.
Market Place Meditation and Prayer
- How can I see the Kingdom DNA in the “mustard seeds” of my work place, company, school, family, community, and church?
- In what ways can I manifest the “New Jerusalem” culture in my work place today?
Lord, please open our eyes to see our market place surroundings as Kingdom seeds for the New Jerusalem. Help us to understand the New Jerusalem and become the testimonies of its culture.
