I know the scripture and can recite most of it from memory. You know the one, see ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you.
For years I thought I was but in fact, I was taking two steps forward and knocking myself ten steps back. Not necessary with my actions but with my thinking.
I must change how I think. It's not an option but a necessary. I must get back to my first love and not look at those things that are around me and press forward to the prize that awaits me.
I long to see Jesus and everything that goes with Him. And If I want to do just that, I must seek His face. I must seek Him. I must continue to seek the kingdom. One thing I know is when God created Earth, He intended it to be just like heaven and for all man kind to walk in His glory.
We keep saying we will when we get to heaven but I think it's possible to walk in heaven here on this crazy earth now. I think it can be done. It starts with me and my williness to seek Him out and let nothing deter me. Not my circumstances, not my husband, not my children, or anything else.
It's easier said then done but I have a dream....it can be done.
God Bless.
Seek God’s Kingdom And He Will Solve Your Problems
Romans 14:17 17… the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Are you troubled by many things today? For example, are you concerned about your rebellious teenager?
Perhaps you see him as your problem, so you do your best to discipline him, only to end up with a heart full of worries and pain. And he is no better! God says to you, “Don’t focus on controlling your rebellious teenager. Instead, seek first My kingdom, which is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Be conscious of the righteousness you have as a gift from My Son. Keep your inner man flowing with My peace and joy, and I will take care of your child.” We tend to think that the people around us are the problem. When we don’t get the promotion we want, we blame our bosses and colleagues.
When we lose our temper, we blame our wives and kids. However, God wants us to stop looking outside and to start looking within because His kingdom is within us. (Luke 17:21) The abundance of the kingdom of God is already inside you. As you seek first God’s kingdom, and follow His righteousness, peace and joy, the abundance within you will flow out and become a reality in your circumstances. (Matthew 6:33)
You will find that God has not only taken care of what is troubling you, but has also added blessings to you, be it a promotion, well-behaved kids or a loving wife. “But Pastor Prince, how do I keep my inner man flowing with righteousness, peace and joy?” Be conscious of your righteousness in Christ. Don’t be conscious of your sins and problems. Listen to anointed sermons that remind you of how righteous you are because of the perfect sacrifice of Christ. Peace and joy flow when you know that all your sins have been forgiven because of Jesus’ finished work. So the next time something troubles you, don’t focus on correcting the problem. Instead, seek first God’s kingdom and His righteousness.
Make it a priority to have your inner man flowing with His peace and joy, and He will take care of that problem for you!
Thought For The Day Have your inner man flowing with God’s peace and joy, and He will take care of that problem for you.
