Seven Reasons To Seek First The Kingdom Of God And His Righteousness

 

Do you wonder why it's so important to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness? Truly, the Lord is the God of purpose. And He wouldn't ask us to do a thing if it's not for a good cause. Even so, this instruction of God is for good. Therefore, in this post reasons to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness are given.

 

Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you - Matthew 6:31-33 (NKJV).

Introduction

The commandments of the Lord are not grievous instructions. For the thoughts of God for us are not evil but good, to give us a future and a hope. And it's obedience to His instructions that leads us to that great future and hope He has for us. However, we're creatures of choice and can decide what to do and when to do it. So, to help us make the right choices, Christ instructed us to first seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness before any other thing. This will eventually help us to better prioritize the other things in our lives. So what else do you gain seeking God's kingdom first?

Reasons To Seek First The Kingdom Of God And His Righteousness

1. Easy access to your heart desires in Christ.

Many are busy struggling to meet their needs, and in the process, they hurt people and many times themselves. Yet, there is a better and easier way to meet these needs without hurting anyone. This was what Christ offered to us through the instruction given in Matthew 6:33. As such, as you focus on doing the will of the Lord, God ensures that you lack nothing good. Truly, He knows that you have a need for these things and knows exactly how to get them across to you. This He will do without stress. For everything was created by Him and is under His command. So, He has no problem providing for you when you mind His kingdom.

 

 

2. Anxiety free life

You can't focus on the Lord and still be anxious. This is because your faith in God and His ability to provide and take care of you is built up. And faith and anxiety don't go together; you can only manifest one at a time. Also, the Prince of peace will keep you in perfect peace as you mind His kingdom. Read more...
