Seek The Kingdom of God
Matthew 6:33 (NKJV): “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
If you are a Christian believer, I’m sure you have heard this scripture many times. I know I have. But as many times as I have heard and read this scripture, I’m amazed that God can still reveal something completely new in it.
Jesus has just finished telling his disciples not to worry, and at the end of His message, He tells them to seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. Think about it. Jesus told them the first thing you need to focus on is the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. Get your mind off worrying, focus on the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all the things you don’t have and are worrying over will be added to you. If you worry about something bad happening to you, focusing on the Kingdom of God will allow God to bring you good. Here is something even better. While you seek the Kingdom of God, you receive the peace from God that surpasses all understanding as you wait.
Did you know the more you seek after the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, the more God changes you? God wants to change your heart more than give you stuff. The Greek word for Seek is Zeteo (Strong’s Concordance: G2212). Zeteo means to aim at, strive after, desire, and crave. If you desire the Kingdom of God, your desires will eventually align with God’s desires. Your ambitions will be aligned with God’s ambitions. And having God’s ambitions and desires is never self-seeking. You will become satisfied with dwelling with Jesus Christ, walking with the Holy Spirit, and having God’s peace. You are completely satiated because you have everything you need. Can you ask God for anything? Absolutely! And here is why!
1 John 5:14,15 (NKJV): “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.”
You can ask confidently because your desires now match God’s desires. Trust me on this. You can never outdo or outimagine God.
- Seek, crave, and desire after the Kingdom of God.
- Seek, crave, and desire after God’s righteousness.
- Seek, crave, and desire to change your heart’s desires to be aligned with God’s desires.
- Then, Ask God.
Be Blessed!
