THE FIRST THING

TEXT: MATTHEW 6:25-34

MEMORY VERSE: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” (MATTHEW 6:33).

God created us in His image to show forth His glory. He gave us power and abilities to enable us to rule with Him. According to Dave Myers, “God’s purpose for telling us ‘seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness’ is to help us develop, through our experiences in this life, His holy and righteous character, and prepare us to rule under Christ as kings and priests on this earth.” We should take our eyes off the cares of this life that are capable of dimming our vision of things of eternal benefit. Righteousness qualifies us for all round blessings both here and in eternity.

Do you have God’s righteousness? Are you seeking first His kingdom? To have the righteousness of God, you must surrender your life to Christ, and God the Father will input to you His righteousness. You must obey God’s Word always, and be full of the fruit of the Spirit. Temptations may come to you, but strive daily to enter the kingdom by putting on the whole armour of God.

QUOTE: Look on the brighter side of life.

CHALLENGE: Righteousness prepares us to reign and rule with Christ.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to live a righteous life.
