Title: Seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness means having your priorities aligned with God's priorities.
“Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;”
Philippians 3:8, 10 KJV
When the Lord Jesus Christ said in Matthew 6:33: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” He meant we should take Almighty God's priorities as our own. His priority number one is that all men and women everywhere must be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth (1Timothy 2:4). Almighty God does not delight in the death of the wicked but desires them to repent and be saved (Ezekiel 33:11).
You are being called by God to come to Him and know Him in Jesus Christ and after knowing Him, align your priorities with His. To know Him you must experience God, by His Holy Spirit in your life. He will reveal to you His nature and priorities first hand.
Point of reflection: Do you desire to know God? Do you desire that He reveals His nature to you? If you do remember that the knowledge of Jesus Christ is the most powerful thing that can ever happen to you. Acknowledge the Lordship of the risen Jesus Christ upon your life and make a decision to live for Him. Proceed if you are ready-
Prayer: My Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for the sacrifice of the cross and the blood shed for my redemption. I acknowledge Jesus Christ who rose from the dead as my Saviour today. I set myself apart for you Lord and desire to know you Lord, to seek first your kingdom and your righteousness knowing everything else will be added to me. I desire to experience the excellence of the knowledge of God. I reject Satan and every demonic influence upon my life. I ask you God to fill me with your Holy Spirit. In Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.
