How to Seek GOD's Kingdom first!

 How to Seek GOD's Kingdom first!

 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, 

and all these things shall be added to you.
Matthew 6:33

How do we seek the Kingdom of GOD first in our lives?

You may be a homemaker or a housewife. You may be pursuing a career or studies.

Is it possible to seek GOD's Kingdom first in our day to day lives?

Yes, and it begins with prayer. Each morning, while thanking GOD for all His mercies, even for the gift of life, pray for opportunities to live for Him and serve Him. Surrender your life to the LORD and ask for the infilling of His love and the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

Through the day, be conscious of the Holy Spirit within you and be prompt to obey His leading. Connect with the LORD frequently.

Make it a habit to intercede in every situation. In the car, bus, train or aeroplane, in the office, school, shopping centre, restaurant or neighbourhood. As the presence of the Living GOD is in you, and His grace is upon you, you have the authority to plead GOD's grace on people around you! Plead the blood of JESUS over the people around you, so that their sins may be forgiven. Ask the LORD to preserve their lives and to give them time to repent and turn to Him so that they may be saved. Ask the LORD to set people free from their bondages because you have the authority to do so as a child of GOD who has been set free! Not only do you have the privilege, but also the responsibility to do so! You become a point of GOD's grace to extend that grace to others around you!

While you pray along these lines in your heart, look for opportunities to reach out to individuals whom the LORD will point out to you, whose hearts are open to listen and receive a word from you. As you yield yourself to the LORD to be His servant, the Holy Spirit will lead you what to say and what to do. You will feel great compassion and love in your heart to those you speak to and those you pray for.

At the end of the day, you will realise that your morning prayer was answered!

The joy and fulfilment you will sense in your heart, will be confirmation that you have been the instrument of the Most High GOD! Thank Him for this privilege and give Him all the glory and once again surrender yourself to the LORD and those lives you came in contact with, to the LORD. Let your eyes focus once again on the LORD alone for He is your Shield and your exceedingly great reward!! 

Then your sleep will be sweet! 

The new day will be again a new opportunity to live for the LORD with joy!

 So Jesus said to them again, "Peace to you! 

As the Father has sent Me, I also send you." 

And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, 

"Receive the Holy Spirit. 

If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; 

if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."

John 20:21-23

And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, 

and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, 

and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

Matthew 16:19

"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, 

Because the Lord has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; 

He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, 

To proclaim liberty to the captives, 

And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

Isaiah 61:1
