WHAT THE GENTILES SEEK

Text: Matthew 6;32

For after all these things do the Gentiles seek: for your Heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these things* . 

First, let's look into what the Gentiles seek.  Basically,  the Gentiles seek these three things according to Matthew 6:31:

1. Food. 

2. Drink. 

3. Clothes. 

Now,  the good question to ask is, are these three things highlighted above wrong?  Was Jesus trying to say we should not eat,  drink or wear clothes? Of course,  you know the answer is No. 

So what then is Jesus saying? 

Man was not created to seek for survival. When Adam the first man was created, he was never designed to seek after food,  drink or clothings. Everything he would ever need was created before he(Adam) was created. 

The only thing man was created to seek is God. When Adam fell, man departed from the presence of God, and started hiding from Him. Genesis 3:8

Ever since the fall,  God has been waiting for man to come back to Him. He left the invitation opened

that if you seek the Lord your God you will find Him, if you seek Him with all your heart and soul. Deuteronomy 4:29.

However,  the devil does not want man to seek his Creator, hence,  he divise a world system whereby people will be seeking after created things rather than the Creator. 

The world system is so designed that what man seeks after looks so legit. 

Everyone who is not in Christ will naturally flow with the worldly system, but Jesus says it mustn't be so with you. You must not seek after what the Gentiles seek. 

His express word to you is "Your Heavenly Father knows that you need those things,  and He is able and willing to provide." Matthew 6:31-33.

This is what you are to seek:

 **SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND EVERY OTHER THINGS WILL BE ADDED* 

Bible reading: Matthew 6:1-33

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
