Seek Him Matthew 6:33

The Lord told us to seek the kingdom first then his righteousness. Your father in heaven knows every need and desire that you have. He has placed desires in your heart. The problem is that most of our desires do not come from God. They come from man. So what is the church seeking? What are you seeking? The first thing he told us to seek is the kingdom which is your salvation. The second thing is his righteousness which is our transformation (phil 2:12 tells us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling)

Most of us receive the first part of Matt6:33 and we skip over the righteousness part. How many of us can say that we have arrived and that you walk in the righteousness of God?  Most of the world and, sad to say, the church walks according to their flesh. They went straight to what the gentiles seek.

Galatians 5:16

We are to live and walk according to the spirit of God so that we will not fulfill the lusts of our flesh. When you come to service come expecting, come seeking God’s face instead of his hand. Jesus gave us the order in which to come.

Psalm 100

We get the attention of our God through our worship and our total dependency on Him. We enter in with thanksgiving and with our praise We are to seek the kingdom of God first then his righteousness. These bring us into the realm of the spirit. How can we live in the spiritual realm when we are constantly seeking after the physical first.

John 18:36

Tells us that the kingdom of God is not of this world.

Romans 14:17

Tells us what the kingdom of God is. Only the spirit of God can reveal the kingdom to you. So you need to seek it through the spirit of God.

Luke 17:20-21

Tells us it is not through observation. It is in you, so since you cannot see it and no one can give it to you, then you have to seek after it. We need his righteousness, his peace and his joy. These are the greatest reasons to come into his presence seeking his face for your life.

Matthew 12:25

A kingdom divided will not stand. If you are torn and divided in your heart between the kingdoms of this world and the kingdom of God then you will not stand. You know whether you are hot or cold. Now is the time to choose this day who you will serve. The only way to be delivered from strongholds of this world is through his righteousness. Most of us only come for the knowing, not to be changed. Remember Lot’s wife.

2 Corinthians 4:15-18

If your inward man is not changing because there is no seeking his face, then remember the rest of this scripture, your outward man is perishing. We are as a vapor to God, here today and gone tomorrow. It is necessary to walk forward because all things are for your sake. We walk by his spirit not by our sight.

Matthew 5:6

Jesus said, those who hunger and thirst after righteousness are blessed and they will be filled. What are you hungering for? What is your appetite for? What or who is pulling you away from God? It’s time to seek him like never before.
