Many of us, as Christians, come to God driven by material ambitions i.e., pursuing the world, while also trying to use the power of God to achieve those desires. We often perceive and measure the glory of God or the value of His kingdom by worldly standards such as wealth, health and success as determined by the world. But is this truly what the Lord intends for us? What does God really want us to pursue above all else?

In this series, Pastor Jeffrey Walter teaches on the Kingdom of God and how its power and glory should be rightly perceived. He explains how men often abuse the Kingdom’s power to pursue carnal desires and personal glory. He emphasises the need to yield to God in the pursuit of His Kingdom, as well as God’s unfailing provision to sustain and outwardly manifest the spiritual life (good), implanted in those who genuinely seek His Kingdom.

In this thought-provoking episode, “Yielding to the Kingdom,” Pastor Jeffrey Walter explores the questions above and brings clarity to what God truly desires: the establishment of His Kingdom within us. He unpacks how, despite our tendency to chase after selfish interests and worldly gains, God lovingly and persistently redirects our hearts toward the spiritual life and things of eternal value. Pastor Jeffrey also explains what yielding to the Kingdom of God means, its importance in our walk with God, and how the scriptures play a role in the pursuit of the Kingdom. He walks us through the process of this inner transformation, the struggles it entails and the call to die to self so we can fully live for God.

This message will challenge your understanding of what it means to follow Christ and inspire you to reconsider your priorities. If you’ve ever wondered, “What does God really want from me?” or “What should I be pursuing above all else?”, then this episode is for you.

Key Scripture: Matthew 6:19-23 KJV

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
