The Top Priority
And if you go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresses you, then you will blow an alarm with the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the Lord your God, and you will be saved from your enemies.
- Numbers 10:9
In His last discourse on earth, Jesus instructed His disciples to go and preach the gospel to all nations (Matthew 28:19). His first priority for His followers was to bring the good news of salvation to as many people as possible.
He followed this instruction with the assurance: "And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils" (Mark 16:17).
Jesus not only intended for the gospel to be made available to all mankind but for His manifested presence to continue to destroy the works of the enemy.
The presence of Jesus is alive and active in every born-again believer . . . and we have a divine mandate to set the captives free and to tear down the devil's kingdom! Keep the kingdom priorities ever before you.
Jesus, examine my priorities. Help me to order my day today with Your priorities. Help me do everything according to Your will, in Your way, and in Your timing. Amen.
