Seek First The kingdom

 

" But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness ; and all other things shall be added unto you. " Matthew 6 : 33 

Seeking first the kingdom of God is the priority of God, the righteousnessof the kingdom must be seen in us all the time. Seeking first the kingdom is a matter of searching to know the truth and the reality of God's kingdom and the benefits we can derived from it .In seeking the righteousness, it requires for us to know God ,so that we can actually do the will of God. 

Jesus talks about the blessedness of those who seek the righteous requirements of God for their lives. " Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. " Matthew 5:6 The desireto know God more and serve him all the  time is what God wants us to aspire to. Thinking about the kingdom more helps us to overcome unnecessary and anxiety of what tomorrow holds for us .

Jesus said, "Therefore take no thought saying, what shall we eat ?  Or what shall we drink ? Or wherewithal shall we be clothed. ( For after all these things do the Gentiles seek ) for your heavenly father knoweth that ye have in need of these things. " Matthew 6: 31-32

The concentration of our mind and thoughts has to be on the kingdom of righteousness more than on the material things we so much desire to have. Thinking and praying about how to serve God well, how to overcome the world of sin ,how to overcome temptations, how to please God all the time ought to be our greatest desire.

God will eventually add all the other things we need from him into our lives daily. The Lord desires that we will be heavenly minded and kingdom focused all the time ." If ye then be risen with Christ ,seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above.,and not on things on the  earth. " Colossians 3 : 1-2

The heavenly things must always take precedence over the material things and then God will also add all the other material ,physical and substantial blessings into our lives. God gives godly riches to those who seek first the kingdom of God in everything, In all things let God be first, then business, marriage and finances would be added.
