Mathew 6:31-34: “So
do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What
shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after
all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his
righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do
not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has
enough trouble of its own.”
All the parables of Jesus are about the kingdom of God. This
is because his mission was to preach the kingdom of God. Seeking God’s kingdom
implies that we seek the reign of God on the earth. Every soul created by God
has been called to seek the kingdom of God. The reign of God on earth brings
salvation, healings, deliverance, miracles, and relationship with God, and
submission to the will of God.
Once we have been delivered from the kingdom of
darkness to the kingdom of God it is very important that we continue to seek
God’s kingdom for more revelation and insight into the heart of God. This is
what God has called us to do if not it will be difficult for us to be his
ambassadors and representatives on earth. Jesus Christ knew what was going on
in the kingdom of God and did exactly what he saw God the Father do. Jesus never prayed for anyone to receive
miracles but rather he performed miracles; doing exactly what was revealed to
him by God the Father.
John 5:19: “Jesus
gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by
himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the
Father does the Son also does.”
Seeking the kingdom of God is seeking the heart of God. David
was described as a man after the heart of God. David was seeking the kingdom of
God without being aware of it and he eventually became the King of Israel.
As heavenly citizens we must understand the language, the
culture and how to make heaven manifest on earth. This is to our advantage if
we must access and enjoy the blessings the Lord has freely given to us. When we
begin to seek the kingdom of God, our perspectives will change and we begin to
have the mind of Christ.
When we seek the kingdom of God we are submitting to God’s
authority. The kingdom of God must be established in our lives so that we can
be in authority over every works of darkness. If we do not submit to God then
we cannot expect the devil to submit to us.
James 4:7: “Submit
yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
When we begin to seek the kingdom of God we soon discover that we have no worries. Our circumstances begin to submit to the reign of God because the kingdom of heaven is our focus. In the kingdom of God there is no stress, no depression, no worries, no sickness, and no sorrow. In the kingdom of God there are no impossibilities.
Seeking the kingdom of God is usually accomplished daily
through prayers. As you do this the Lord begins to reveal secrets of the
kingdom to you. There are many things that are going on the God’s kingdom that
we might not have access to until we ask.
Mathew 7:7: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and
you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”
Mathew 13:11: He
replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has
been given to you, but not to them.”
The kingdom of God is from one real of glory to another. The kingdom of God is not stagnant. That is
why the angels in heaven cannot stop worshipping God because God is always
revealing a new realm of His Glory. Any Christian who is not continuously
seeking the kingdom of God will soon find out that he is being left behind
because revelation of the kingdom is progressive.
The book of Ecclesiastes 3:11 say God has set eternity in
the hearts of man. Eternity or eternal life is defined in the book of John 17:3
as knowing God. There is no satisfaction or fulfilment outside the knowledge of
God.
Benefits of seeking
God’s kingdom
- Ability to receive revelation of the things of God.
- Ability to move like God.
- Ability to operate in faith. Revelation strengthens our faith because we are not ignorant of God’s agenda. The bible says my people perish for lack of knowledge.
- Ability to exercise authority over the enemy.
Enjoy the blessings of God
