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...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
