Seek first

Seek FIRST the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and everything will be
added unto you.

Kingdom of God
Kingdom matters: Fellowship, Evangelism, Worship, Ministry, Discipleship.

Lord’s Prayer
Our Father in Heaven hallowed be your name,
Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts, as we also forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

Notice that the FIRST part of it speaks about kingdom matters and 2ndly our matters.
It is always the case where we need to put God’s agenda ahead of ours. The challenge would be what are we going to do about it? Plans for God’s kingdom? Not only someone who plans but someone who would dream dreams for God. We need to be “God dreamers ” if we are to see any change in our society, our nation. We speak about revival but revival will only come when the church starts to think first of His kingdom. I guess all of us have somehow or rather have been revived by God many times and in different ways.
The problem is just that we don’t act upon it or we think too narrowly about what we are going to about it. Our dream doesn’t last because we have forgotten about or we are being clouded by it, our dream is small.

Plans for God?
Dreams for God?
Do you have any?
Today, tomorrow, months to come, or years to come?
Where will we be?

I am afraid to say that all of us are guilty of this and we need to come to our senses.
We need to stand in the gap between the saved and the lost.



Yes, this is da sermon talk given. Pondering over them.
