God Wants to Give You the Kingdom

Heavenly Father, we come before You with open hearts today, humbled and grateful that You are a loving God who desires to give us more than we can imagine. Open our eyes to the truth of Your Word, increase our faith, and help us to walk boldly as heirs of Your Kingdom. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Luke 12:32 (NIV): “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.”

Matthew 6:33 (NIV): “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

Several years ago, a young father worked tirelessly at his job, barely making ends meet. He longed to give his children something special but often felt defeated by his limited resources.

One evening, he came home with nothing more than a simple loaf of bread and peanut butter. His children, however, received it with laughter, joy, and thanksgiving.

What he didn’t know was that a neighbor had been prompted by the Spirit to bless them with groceries and even pay part of their rent. That evening, his children ate more than bread—they feasted on God’s provision.

Later, the father reflected: “I realized my earthly desire to give to my children was only a faint reflection of how much more my Heavenly Father desires to give me—not scraps, but the Kingdom itself.”

God is not stingy. He is a generous Father who delights in blessing His children—not just with material things, but with Kingdom realities: peace, joy, righteousness, purpose, and eternal inheritance. His Kingdom is not built on scarcity but abundance. Too often, fear and doubt make us live like beggars when, in reality, we are heirs.

Application

1. Replace Fear with Faith: Every time you feel anxious about provision, remember Luke 12:32—God wants to give you the Kingdom.

2. Seek the Kingdom First: Prioritize God’s will, His Word, and His righteousness in your daily decisions. Everything else will follow.

3. Live as an Heir, Not a Beggar: Approach life with the confidence of a child of the King. Pray big prayers, expect Kingdom provision, and walk in Kingdom authority.

4. Be a Reflection of His Kingdom: Just as the neighbor in the story gave generously, become an instrument through which God shows others the abundance of His Kingdom.

Gospel Songs to Accompany Your Worship

1. “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands” – A timeless reminder of God’s sovereign care.

2. “Seek Ye First” (Karen Lafferty) – A simple, scripture-based chorus reminding us of Matthew 6:33. (Alternatively: “I Give Myself Away” by William McDowell for a more worshipful reflection.)

Father, thank You for reminding us that it is Your pleasure to give us the Kingdom. Forgive us when we live in fear or doubt. Teach us to walk as Your children, fully trusting in Your promises and living out our inheritance with faith and boldness. May our lives reflect Your Kingdom so that others may see and glorify You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
