Are you seeking healing?
Are you seeking salvation for your wife, husband or children?
Are you seeking a job or a new home?
Are you looking to lose weight this year or start a hobby?
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33 KJV
If you are not seeking God FIRST, then how can those things be added to you?
It is so easy to get caught up in life; hard things, easy things, good things, bad things! But in the Kingdom of God you have to lose your life to find it!
“He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.” John 12:25 KJV
He (God) has got to be the principal purpose of your life. He has to consume your thoughts; not your desire for some "thing" or some "one" else. It doesn't work that way. He has to be what you desire more than anything else. And when you are seeking God with all your heart, it really doesn't matter if you get anything else. It won't matter if you lose everything you possess. It won't matter if you have a new job. It won't matter if you live under a bridge. It won't matter if you die - to you!
“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” Philippians 1:21 KJV
The only thing, in this life that truly matters, is Him and your relationship with Him! He has to be your everything; above everything this life has to offer - including your children!
“He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.” Matthew 10:37 KJV
If Jesus Christ is truly your LORD, then this world holds no attraction for you!
If He is NOT your greatest desire then check your heart! Your salvation depends on this simple yet difficult truth!
“And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.” Deuteronomy 6:5 KJV
“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.” Matthew 22:37 KJV
You can't love your children with all of your heart and love God with all of your heart!
God won't settle for a part of your heart! He shouldn't have to! He gave His Son for you!
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 KJV
Repent while there is still time.
Even so - MARANATHA!
