THE KINGDOM PRINCIPLE-2


Text : Matthew 6:33.

But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.

We live in a world where everything is calling for your attention. Everything around you wants you to expend your time and energy on it.

The order in the world is to seek everything else before the kingdom. A young child thinks he's too young to be serious about the kingdom, when he becomes a student, his education becomes the priority. After that, pursuit for food, shelter and clothing becomes paramount in his heart. And the rat race continues, until he becomes old or too weak before he remembers God. At this time, he will realize to his hurt that he has misplaced his priorities. 

Unfortunately, some don't even get to realize their need for the kingdom until they close their eyes in death.

Jesus Christ says, this is not the order in this kingdom. What the people of the world seeks will be added to you when you have sought the kingdom and its righteousness.

God's kingdom principles brings heavens wisdom and influence into our lives right here on earth. We operate in a kingdom principled life style by flowing in the fruit of the Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-23).

You need Godly wisdom to live an upright and peaceable life here on earth. James  3:17 says,  'But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.'

The wisdom with which the people of the world operates by is always in opposition to God's wisdom. When you are a seeker of God's kingdom, you'll operate by this higher wisdom and principle.

 Bible reading:

 Matthew 22:34-40.

 PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father, I pray that you bless me with your wisdom that I may lead a life that will bring pressure to you.

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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

THE GREATEST

Text : Matthew 18:4   *Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.*   *Being the greatest in the kingdom is not about what you do but who you are.* Jesus pointed out here that little children are humble beings. Hence, what qualifies a person as the greatest in the kingdom of heaven is humility. Little children are both lowly and meek. These are qualities that does not come naturally to an adult. For instance, when you bring a little child from a wealthy background to live in a very poor home with another poor little child, he will gladly comply without any struggle. He will never complain or compare. He will simply adapt and gladly receive all the low and impoverished treatments. No adult or grown up child can accept this so easily.  That is the reason Jesus did not ask us to be converted and become as a child but ' *little child* '   _And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be co...
