Reflections on Matthew 6:33



At one point in our lives, we ask ourselves, what GOD really wants us to do. The answer to this question can be found in this verse.

 

Matthew 6:33

 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  

 

Here’s a reflection on what this verse mean:


Seeking GOD’S Kingdom first
This means having a faithful and loving relationship with GOD first above anyone and everything else. It is communicating with JESUS everyday and earnestly finding HIM with the intent of having a closer relationship with HIM above anyone else. It is making Him your best friend and confidante. It is always believing in JESUS and seeking HIS presence everyday in our lives.  It is committing to love HIM with all our heart, soul, mind and strength.

Seeking GOD’S Righteousness first
It means accepting and living by the Word of GOD written in the Bible. It is following HIS commands, laws and statutes written in Bible. In other words, it is being obedient to Him. It is always putting HIM as the top priority in every decision we make. We should include and consult Him in every decision we make. We should see to it that every decision we make would please Him. It also means committing to serving Him wholeheartedly and making time for HIM. As love demands in deeds, love also can be best spelled with time. So we should always give time to our LORD.

And all these things shall be added unto you

This means that when we love the LORD first and commit ourselves to serving HIM and make HIM our top priority, HE will provide us with everything we need. And that we should not worry on what to eat and what to wear because our Father in heaven already knows that. He is a loving and good Father and He will never reject us. For He said in His words in John 15:7 (NKJV) 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

 

So, establish a closer relationship with CHRIST now. Also, start giving time to HIM now by communicating with HIM and serving HIM and you will never have to worry with the simple things that you need. Our GOD is our Greatest Provider. Consider this verse: Proverbs 10:3 The LORD will not allow the righteous to hunger, but He will reject the craving of the wicked. My prayer for you is that you will have a closer relationship with JESUS and obey all HIS commands. I love you with the love of the LORD. Praise and glory are unto HIM. Amen.

GOD is real: my testimony

Sometimes, we doubt GOD's existence but, if you want to know if GOD is real, then this article is for you. Actually, I don't know where to begin. I have lots of eminent encounters with our One True Living GOD JESUS CHRIST to tell. I am overwhelmed by my experiences and encounters with Him. Every day is a new happy day of victorious encounters with Him. Every day I commune with Him, observe Him, and learn from Him. He accompanies me every day and He never left me. He is always by my side. He teaches me and guides me every waking day of my life. I love Him so much and He loves me more. He has lavished me with His great love, mercy, grace, comfort, peace, joy, and forgiveness. Since I started believing in JESUS as my GOD and SAVIOR, accepting Him in my heart, believing in His Words in the Bible, seeking Him, and communicating with Him I am changed. I felt more secure, loving, kind, joyful, sweet, more understanding, I worry less, and I have peace of mind and good health. ...

Best and the godly ways to move on from unrequited love that JESUS taught me

Oftentimes we fell in love with someone who does not love us back either because they are not interested in us or is already committed to someone else. This kind of situation is heartbreaking. And, it is hard for our minds and hearts to accept the truth that we are not loved back. We kept on expecting and hoping that someday the person we love will reciprocate the feeling we have for them. But, the more you hope and expect, the more you become hurt until one day you find the courage to tell yourself, ‘this is enough I have to move on’. So, what are the best and the godly ways to move on from unrequited love? Here they are: 1. Believe and accept JESUS as your LORD and Savior. This is the first step to moving on. By doing this, your focus is shifted from the person you love, to the LORD. If you are not a believer or a Christian yet, you should first believe and accept JESUS as your LORD and SAVIOR. You can pray this prayer: “LORD JESUS, I believe that you are the On...

How did JESUS become man

Hi there my dear reader! I am back. How are you? I hope all is well with you. As an effort resulting from my deep appreciation for JESUS, I'd like to share this article with you about His birth in Bethlehem 2,000 years ago. Please read on. In the Book of Isaiah 9:6, it was predicted that GOD will be born of a virgin to save the world from sin in the name of Immanuel or JESUS. Matthew 1:23-25 say this, "Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son,and they will call him Immanuel, which means `God is with us.'" When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded and took Mary as his wife. But he did not have sexual relations with her until her son was born. And Joseph named JESUS." After 42 generations from Abraham to David and to Joseph (the husband of Mary), JESUS, the Messiah, our LORD was born in the person of Immanuel. His earthly mother named Mary was informed by angel Gabriel that she will give birth to a son named JESUS wh...
