Seek God

Matthew chap 6: 33 (NIV) But seek first the Kingdom of His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

I remember memorizing this verse in my younger days during Sunday School. But years later, I caught a huge revelation of this verse.

When we talk about seeking first His Kingdom, what is this Kingdom about? I used to assume I have to put church attendance first. I have to put church activity first. It was about serving God. It was so much on trying to please God, the leaders, and the Church. I see there are trends of performance-based Christians.

But seeking this Kingdom is just beyond church attendance. Actually, the main ingredient needed is to give him our TIME. How much time do we spend with GOD? When we want to know someone more, we spend time talking to a particular person. Try to get to know their character and traits. If you know something is not right, you move away. If you receive something good, you stay.

You know something, it is the same thing with GOD. The character of God is love. He just wants to love us more and more. But we must be able to receive them.

How can we seek the Kingdom of God?

Proverbs chap 8: 17 (NIV ) “I love those who love me, and those who seek me will find me.

Deuteronomy chap 4: 29 ( NIV)” But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul. ”

Try taking time to just spend time with God. Talk to him. Give time in seeking the Word of God. If you have been running around busy looking for souls for Jesus, sometimes it is time to learn to just focus on yourself first. SEEK GOD!

If you are unhappy with certain things in your life,seek GOD. That is the only option.It is different about worrying and praying about a situation than seeking God.For example,you may have a health challenge. Instead of focussing on the health challenge, praying about it many times, drift your focus away.If you are unsure of the direction of your life turn your focus to JESUS.He will tell you what to do. Focus on HIS LOVE. At times we get so noisy in our minds. So many thoughts running in. Silence helps. Spend time reading the Word of GOD. GOD LOVES YOU.

Proverbs chap 3: 6 ( NIV) ”Seek His will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”

Say this today: I want to seek the Lord.-R.J.JOHN

Prayer: ”Abba I thank you for your mercy upon me and my readers. I thank you, Lord we can always seek you, Lord. Thank you for your LOVE.
