KINGDOM NOT BOREDOM

God's kingdom is all about the love of God reigning in the lives of people. His kingdom expansion is all about people discovering salvation and victorious living. When one discovers this radical truth, boredom can never sets in one's heart. It is because kingdom is living for others. Helping others gives meaning to life. Helping people and making this earth a better world through love, kindness and goodness gives true significance and direction in life. When you live for God's kingdom, becoming rich becomes not just accumulating money but gaining money because of the intention to help others. Growth in church becomes not for the sake of power and influence, but for sharing the love of God to people especially to the poor. Christian living becomes no longer bound by rituals and religiosity but of passionate caring for others. Life begins to have meaning when you live for the Kingdom.

Maybe the reason why you are bored because you are not living for His kingdom but just for yourself. Maybe you are bored in the pursuit of your dreams because your ambition is all just for yourself and not for others. Maybe you are bored because you work just to earn money but no intention whatsoever to help others. Maybe you are bored because your weekly activities has no effort in helping others. Maybe you are bored even in your church life because all you think is yourself- you pray just all for your own good, you attend worship all because you want to be cheered, and you study just because for your own growth- but where are your actions to help anyone? When was the last time you help someone? When was the last time you worship that you bring someone with you? When was the last time you shared the love of God to someone? This reveals why you are bored even in your church life. Even church life can really be boring no matter what is your preference in worship, when the church life all revolves inside and no more of sharing the love of God outside. Church life can be all rituals and religion when no lives are changed.

Boredom creeps in when kingdom living is set aside.

But when you start to dream, to work, to engage, and to live for others, and you will find true meaning and direction in life. You will get out of your comfort zone which is the breeding ground of boredom. Kingdom living has no comfort zone because all zones becomes Jesus' zones of helping someone. Kingdom mindset people can never be bored because they are overwhelmed that what they are doing is for the King, and for the expansion of His kingdom here on earth.

You were called for Kingdom, not boredom.

Help others.
