But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, all these things will be given you -
Matthew 6:33
Kingdom First:
- Everything must be re-examined
- Everything must be reconsidered
- Every desire, dream, use of money and time
- Now everything must have a kingdom-first focus
How to tell when you are not seeking first his kingdom:
- When you don't have daily times with God in the Bible and prayer
- Responsibilities to the church are a burden
- Not happy or consistent in giving
- Personal comfort, desires direct life's decisions
- Can't find the time to share your faith
- Gain greater feelings of accomplishment and satisfaction serving another "kingdom"
- You have greater regard and protection of your schedule
- Discipleship times, family devotionals not deep or consistent
- Gaining one more than is greater than gaining one more soul
- Dreams center more in this world than in the kingdom
Are you seeking first his kingdom?
The kingdom consists of people who volunteer in a battle between good and evil
