“SEEK YE FIRST”

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” 

Matthew 6:33 (KJV)

 
When you read the above verse of the Bible, what comes to mind?
 
Interestingly, some only see “and all these things shall be added”.
 
It is not God they seek first; it is the “all things which shall be added” they seek.
Which is wrong!
 
The focus of Matthew 6:33 is God and not the other things. Make Him your focus and motive. 

Don’t pretend to be serving God, yet deep within your motive of action is the desire for things to be added to you and not God and His Kingdom.

Another group of people have a different understanding of the phrase,

“SEEK YE FIRST”.

To them, it means starting your life with God, so that when a time comes when you are too busy to be available for His Kingdom assignment, He will understand.
 
So at the beginning of their lives, they pursue God. You will find them in the Church, serving and participating in Kingdom activities. They are involved in personal prayers and Bible studies. 
 
As they grow in business, grow in their finances, get married, start having children, etc, then they shift their attention to the family, business, etc.
 
Their sincere idea is that they now have to focus on what God has given them, because they have made the necessary contribution in God’s Kingdom or the Church.
That is ignorance or a misconception of our relationship with God.
 
Others also have a list of priorities. To them, God first means, “Make God number one”. Thus, on their priority list, they have:

1. God (His Kingdom and Righteousness) first.
2. Academics (if they are students)
3. Family
4. Work etc

Others have also:

1. God first
2. Marriage/Spouse
3. Family
4. Work etc…

Whatever way they will outline their priority list, I want you to know that God doesn’t need to be there as Number One.

As a born-again, God has to be involved in every aspect of your life. 
He is not merely part of your list, He is your life and essence, that is the reality.

For God to be the first, means He has to be the Chief of your life.

He must be the first in every aspect of your life.
This verse of scripture below should change your entire worldview:
 
 “In everything you do, put God first, and He will direct you and crown your efforts with success” Proverbs 3:6 (TLB)
 
God must be the first in your ministry. People can do ministry for themselves and not for the Lord. He must be the first in your family and marriage. He must be the first in your academics, career or profession and work. 
 
In everything you do, God has to be the center of it all. For God to be the first means He is the reason you do what you do. 

Don’t just make Him Number 1 on your list. 

Nothing comes before Him, and nothing comes after Him. He is the essence of all you do.
 
Hallelujah!
DIG DEEPER
(1 Chronicles 28:9; Provers 16:3,9; 1 Kings 8:61)
 
WE PRAY
Lord, I commit all [mention them] that concerns me into your hands, please direct my steps.
 
BIBLE READING IN THE YEAR 2025
1 YEAR PLAN
Job 12-14

2 YEARS PLAN
Numbers 32

DECLARE THESE WORDS:
– God is the essence of all that I do.

– I involve God in everything I do.
 
– I am in partnership with God.
 
– The Lord directs my steps.
 
– None of my steps will ever slide, because I have committed all that concerns me to the Lord.
 
Oh Hallelujah, GLOREEEEY!

We'd love to connect with you!

To help you build a proper foundation of spiritual understanding.

God is not the number 1 of my list. God is the one who makes the list.
My nephew’s favorite verse stirs this thought in mind

Trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understand, in all you do, acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path.

God being first means, He is my Lord. He is my King and my Head. He’s decisions are first and all that I do should please His course.

It does not mean God is one of my crucial items, it means, He determines what is crucial and what is trivia.

Thank you, Lord Jesus

God is our life now through Jesus and you cannot do anything without your life involved. The fact that we have a will to do everything we want is because are still in the container called the flesh and that doesn’t mean God is no more the centre of our living
We cannot leave our true self and make decisions based on our fleshy desires
God is the centre of everything that concerns us

He made a profound statement in Genesis he said “can I do anything without telling my friend Abraham
