Seek His Kingdom first - in your heart what is laid out before you? Are you giving your all to the Lord by giving your all to Him and or people? Because the second commandment it like the first. We must do both. The second is conditional considering you love yourself first. Otherwise it impedes the commandment itself. But to go after His Kingdom - first requires a lot of not going after His Kingdom and knowing the difference. His Righteousness - Breakthroughs in personal bondage to sin and lust and pride and greed and anger and hate all have to begin with the error in doing them. After a season of recognizing personal failure can the knowledge of His Righteousness be attainable. Righteousness is given by Him. But you have to seek Him and fail to know the difference. Only by personal experience can someone actually achieve this verse over their lifetime. That is why this verse is pact with so many hints that it is a work of sanctification and not of good works but of grace because so much of it depends of Him,,..... His,.... in order for it to be realized. There is only subtle things we can do other than sit back and enjoy the process. Like kids you can imagine the weary question,..."are we there yet?,..." and the loving Father responds "No, I'll let you know when we get there."
What does it mean to seek the Kingdom of God! That is to seek out your own salvation with fear and trembling! To seek after forgiveness and repent of all your sins, then you shall become righteous in Gods eyes! Then the blessings of God will be added to you like, peace that passeth all understanding, being fullfiled with life, being content with what you have, habe love and compassion for others etc...! That is the beauty of it all, that you become like Christ in all your ways! That is the thing we should desire and strive for, not the pleasures of our flesh!
JUST GO FEED THE CHILDREN OF GOD!! Winning souls for Jesus Christ?? Why don't you go save a child, so there is soul left to save?? Mark 9:37 Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me. MARK MY WORDS"!! Now get unfold yer hands, get up off your knees and WALK, straight out that door!!For you are wasting time... As it is written... Acts 17:24 "God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands 25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things " What are you waiting for?? AN EN'GRAVED' INVITATION!!
The ways of God are not the ways of men. If you walk in the opposite direction you are on your own and what you may be running after or being worried about may not God's will for you. So seeking the kingdom of God is knowing God's will for your life and you will meet everything destined for you as you advance.
Our God reminded us to diligently seek him first and everything will be added for God knows what to provide and when to provide on any situation what a wonderful God we serve GOD IS FAITHFUL TO HIS WORDS our job now is to serve him and worship him only until rapture only thru Jesus we will receive life. We must FIX OUR EYES TO JESUS COZ IN HIM THERE IS NO DARKNESS.THANK YOU JESUS FOR THE BLOOD AMN
I believe that this verse serves as a reminder of Gods goodness and grace. He reminds us to keep our eyes on the real prize, that is in heaven and not on the superficial materialistic prizes or treasures we may claim on earth for all those things do not last for ever but the tressures in heaven do. So we must be obedient and heed his we word in order to receive the treasures up in heaven and eternal life with the lord.
It was what I needed to read. It gave me back what I believe I had been missing. My heart was about to explode with frustration. After reading all of it, it's so much better. I enjoy reading and learning more.
Seeing God's Holy Name JEHOVAH in Big Letters emphasizes the point why Peter under inspiration stated, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ" ( 1 Peter 1:3) Then again, we have our Lord Jesus Christ teaching his followers to pray, "Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name." ( Matthew 6:9)
Oh Father, bless all who yearn for truth and have mercy on the deceived. In Christ Jesus our Saviour we pray. Amen Matthew 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? Matthew 6:32 For after all these things do the Gentiles seek: for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. Ephesians 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
Verse 33 is the verse that woke me up to trusting Him. Sat looking at it, talking about it, and a light went on in my understanding. Understanding He has made the way to receive His righteousness by faith. I just realized I needed to trust Christ for everything. Then He started supplying my needs. Very exciting to see Him work in my life everyday!
Love it,give me strength and motivation to do better! I read chapter 6 every night before going to sleep! A good friend of mine told me about chapter 6 and is really helps me going through hard times!
The lord is great , if only people know that Jesus is the first they would not run after the things of the world because he has said " seek the kingdom of God first and every other things shall be added" but now a days people make things of the world first and Jesus the second option. May the lord forgive us all.
If your eye is single your whole body will be full of light but if your be evil your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore your light is darkness how great is that darkness. Take a little time and think about it It is a game changer if we are serious about our lives in Christ There are certain evils that we dare not participate in to keep our light light.matt 6v22
O'Shen Robinson-Barefield on Matthew 6 - 9 years ago
I like this, the Lord tells us about being materialistic and seeking attention. He is warning us, rebuking us, and trying to make is easier for us. He was telling us not to worry too much about things in this life so we can live the life he brought.
Jesus himself is the word of God. He who drinks the Living Water shall never be thirsty. God's words are more important to meditate and obey them. If we have Christ we have everything that we need. Salvation comes only for those who believe Jesus as the Son of the Living God. Keep thanking his blood and praised Jesus for he is worthy to be praised. God will pour his own Faith to us
Matthew 6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come and even now already is it in the world. 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. John 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
Matthew 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? Mark 12:27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err. Ephesians 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
On verses 22 and 23: The whole body is either full of light and goodness or full of evilness and darkness. There's no in between. The only way to be 100% full of light is to believe in Jesus because He is the light of the World. All those who believe in Jesus are 100% full of goodness and light. All those who reject Jesus are 100% full of evil and darkness.
Worrying will get us no where. As kingdom citizens, we must walk according to the laws of the kingdom. Drop off pride. Have a forgiving heart. Harbor no grudge.show love always. For we will be recognized by our fruits. The Word of the Lord is very filling.
The Lord said man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that cometh from the mouth of God. meaning i don't have to leave by how things are happening around me no more, but by everything that God said concerning me. hallelujah
