Scripture: Matthew 13:44-52
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33 (KJV)
In many of Jesus’ teachings, the kingdom of God is compared to everyday events - activities and things we can relate to. A consistent theme across these illustrations is the truth that every believer has a part to play to enjoy the kingdom of God. The discovered treasure hidden in a field,
a merchant’s quest to find choice pearls, and several other parables about the kingdom of God drives home this point (Matthew 6:33).
God’s love for us - His children cannot be overemphasized. In our worst state, when we deserve the worst, He sent His Only Begotten Son; His most precious to die so we can be saved, be entitled to our lost dominion mandates and eventually, enjoy eternity with Him. But all this is open to us, if only we seek first the Kingdom of God and all His righteousness. Nothing pleases God more than seeing His children doing His will worshipping and Him in spirit and in truth.
To spend eternity with God, we must place utmost value on doing the will of God, and living our lives to please Him rather than ourselves. God has left us with the power of choice; to take advantage of a life of redemption or remain in sin and dispair, far from his glorious light and eternal happiness. Has the cares of life kept you away far from God? Has sin being an obstacle to your walking in the will of God? Come to Him through Jesus Christ just as you are today, and He sure will make all things new again.
PRAYER: My Father, fill me up with love for you and your kingdom, in Jesus name.
FAITH BYTE: I am a candidate of the kingdom. I love and seek after God.
