Seek ye first
Perhaps, the above topic should be considered as the greatest sermon that was preached by the master Himself. The consideration is premised on the fact that Jesus Christ was teaching about priority or goal setting.
In one of His earthly ministrations where He fed the hungry multitude after the whole day teaching, he discovered that they came again the other time. To be honest, they must have probably come because of the miraculous food provided for them by Christ,
They were not there to actually listen to the sermon He wanted to teach them but because of the bread and fish. Nowadays, a lot of people are running after God because of what they want from him. If they get it today, they stop following Him tomorrow.
What a big mistake resulting from misplaced priorities? In the books of Matthew 6:33, Jesus Christ said seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness: and all these things shall be added unto you.
Are you His kingdom seeker or His miracle seeker? Let me tell you that you cannot experience his acts until you start seeking His kingdom! Every other thing you are looking for is embedded in giving attention and priority to the things of the Kingdom.
What does it mean to seek God’s kingdom or how do you seek His kingdom? Doing the will and pleasure of God is very pivotal to seeking His kingdom. Simply put, obeying the words and dictates of God as written in the scriptures or spoken by God’s servants.
God desires that you love Him and walk with Him in absolute obedience. Do you just love God by mere words of your mouth? If you love God, you will sacrificially give to Him your time, energy, gift, money etc. he also want you to be passionately committed to His work on earth. How do you render worship and service unto your kingdom?
The kingdom seeker will not be entangled with the affairs of this world. Are you not caught up in the web of frivolities and mundane things of this world? Where do you lay up your treasures? Don’t forget that whatever a man’s treasure is, there will be his heart also! Seek God and his kingdom early enough. God bless you and preserve you.
Happy Sunday and thanks for going through this
