WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU ARE SEEKING FOR YOUR LIFE?
by Sam Sweg
Matthew 6:33 “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Many Christians are looking and seeking for the desires and pleasures of this world while deep inside their heart they feel empty and unsatisfied. They wonder why God has not answered their needs, desires and prayers. Whatever you seek that will be in your heart and mind. If it is for The Lord Jesus Christ and His Divine Word then your heart will be filled with Him. A person seeks what they love most.
Matthew 6:24 No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Mark 12:30 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment.
If you are seeking the praise of men and the acceptance, treasures of this world in your heart then The Lord Jesus Christ and His Divine Word and Love will not be there. That is a very lonely and empty place for all of eternity without hope and The Love of God. Many Ministries seek the praise of men rather than The Praise of God. Without seeking first, The Hunger and Love of God there will never be a real move of The Holy Spirit of God Almighty and The Lord Jesus Christ with a confirmation of His Divine Word in their lives.
Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Many choose to sellout to the world for the praise of this world and men. They go to church every Sunday without Jesus in their heart. Jesus will not share a heart that loves the world!
A Christian not seeking Jesus first in their heart will not have Jesus and His Word in them. You can’t serve two masters. They chose to serve the world for the passing pleasures of sin rather than to Love The Lord Jesus Christ and His Word. Many have lost their salvation for all of eternity.
Jeremiah 29:13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
Proverbs 8:17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently will find me.
Romans 8:5-7 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.
