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.

What GOD likes and dislikes

While I was listening to the song "You are Holy (Prince of Peace)" by Michael W. Smith last month, I came across with the lyrics that says "You're the great I am". Upon hearing it, I forgot that the LORD is the Great "I AM" (Exodus 3:14) and I started doubting. But the LORD reminded me that it's Him and that I should not doubt Him because He dislikes a doubtful servant. So, to help you increase your knowledge of Him and know how to love Him, let me tell you the things that He likes and dislikes. Listed below are the things He likes and dislikes. 8 Things GOD likes 1. He likes us. It is said in John 3:16 that GOD loves the world. It means He loves or like us because we are His creations. He gave us His own breath for us to live. 2. He likes a cheerful giver. It is written in second 2 Corinthians 9:7 that GOD loves a cheerful giver. Therefore we should freely give and share whatever we have to our brothers and sisters that are ...

Seven proofs that JESUS is GOD

I woke up this dawn feeling hungry, so I cooked some Ramen noodles and ate. After eating, I went back to bed to continue sleeping but I heard the Voice of the LORD telling me to write an article about the Seven proofs that JESUS is our One True GOD. So I prayed. I told Him that I am willing and His will be done and I asked Him to give me knowledge on what are those seven proofs that He is saying. These are the seven proofs that He gave me. 1. He created the world, us, and everything around us. Colossians 1:16 says this, " For by Him (JESUS) were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: " See, it is stated clearly here that all things were created by Him and for Him. JESUS is our Creator. He is our Father and our GOD.  2. He is the Word. It is said in John 1:1 that , " In the beginning was the Wo...

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...
