SEEK FIRST GOD’S KINGDOM AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS (7)

-

Matthew 6:31-33 (AMPC)

“Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, what are we going to have to eat? or, what are we going to have to drink? or, what are we going to have to wear?

 

32 For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all.

 

33 But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.”

 

Dear people of God, in the last couple of weeks, we have considered the various conditions precedent as a requirement for seeking FIRST God’s Kingdom and His Righteousness in order to obtain God’s blessings as He has promised.

 

Today, we will look at the Law of Trust.

 

So what is Trust? One online dictionary definition of Trust says “to believe that someone is good and honest and will not harm you, or that something is safe and reliable.”

 

This definition of Trust suits our purpose for today’s topic. In the Law of Trust as a condition for seeking FIRST God’s kingdom and His righteousness, you are saying you believe that God is good and honest and will not harm you.

 

You are saying to move with God is safe and God is reliable.

 

God cannot tell a lie as we are told in His Word in Numbers 23:19. The Bible also tells us in Proverbs 30:5, “Every Word of God is tried and purified; He is a shield to those who trust and take refuge in Him.”

 

The entire Bible is God’s Word and so it is tried and purified. God is a shield to those who trust and take refuge in Him.

 

When you trust in God, what it means is that you do not consider any other option as far as God’s Word is concerned because God would never mislead you.

 

Remember also that God is our Creator, Father, Master, Provider, Healer, Protector, Counselor, Saviour and Redeemer and He loves us with an everlasting love.

 

How can such a loving Father ever think of hurting His children? No, He would never do that. Instead, it is us humans who hurt God through sin and evil lifestyle. We tell lies, murder, fornicate, cheat others, backbite, and break God’s commandments with impunity and we expect the same God to continue to bless you even in sin.

 

Now, because God is principled and never alters His Word, only those who trust in God as shown by their actions of righteous living are sure to receive His already released blessings into their lives.

 

Yes, God’s blessings have already been released when the Lord Jesus Christ died on the Cross of Calvary for the sins of mankind, reconciled mankind to God and said “it is Finished.”

 

So, it is obedience to God’s commands that places His blessings into our lives and when you say you trust God, then you should never doubt His Word.

 

How would you know the Word God has spoken? It is by study of the Holy Bible and from then to meditation on God’s Word until it sinks into our spirit and finally by our words and action that align with God’s Word to release His blessings into our lives.

 

Do you trust God, dear friend? It is in your own interest that you do because God can NEVER fail you.

 

As His Word has stated clearly in Proverbs 3:5-8, “Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.

 

6 In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.

 

7 Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil. [Prov. 8:13.]

 

8 It shall be health to your nerves and sinews, and marrow and moistening to your bones.”

 

May the good Lord bless you as you heed His Word today, act on it and share with others in Jesus’ Most Trustworthy Name, Amen.


Gabriel Ama.

THE PREACHER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Titus 2:7-8 (AMPC)   “And show your own self in all respects to be a pattern  and a model of good deeds  and works, teaching what is unadulterated, showing gravity [having the strictest regard for truth and purity of motive], with dignity  and seriousness.   8 And let your instruction be sound  and fit  and wise  and wholesome, vigorous  and irrefutable  and above censure, so that the opponent may be put to shame, finding nothing discrediting  or evil to say about us.”   Dear people of God, whenever and wherever a Believer in Jesus Christ stands to minister to others, he is acting as an ambassador of Jesus Christ.   He is representing Jesus Christ because Jesus has commanded all believers to go and preach to everyone the Gospel or Good News concerning Repentance and Salvation found only in Him.   Jesus Christ our Lord was a Preacher of Righteousness while He was here on earth as a human being.   There was no...

ARE YOU A STUMBLING BLOCK TO THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST?

Romans 14:12-13 (AMPC)   “ And so each of us shall give an account of himself [give an answer in reference to judgment] to God.   13 Then let us no more criticize and blame and pass judgment on one another, but rather decide and endeavour never to put a stumbling block or an obstacle or a hindrance in the way of a brother.”   Dear people of God, a few years ago, we were asked to share invitation flyers to the public in an area where one of our local church parishes was to open newly.   I recall giving one of the flyers to a lady who asked me the name of the church and when I mentioned it, she said “God forbid.” When I asked why she rejected the flyer, she did not respond.   Obviously, some member of the church she knows must have caused her offence and this stirred up hatred in her for the church.   Recently, a friend told me how in his church the pastor made a commitment towards a church project but never fulfilled it.   It ha...

NO DIVORCEE WILL ENTER HEAVEN

MATTHEW 5:31-32 (KJV) “ 31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:   32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of FORNICATION, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.   MATTHEW 19:8-9 (KJV) “He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.   9 And I say unto you, whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for FORNICATION, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.     Dear people of God, over the years, many Christians have been ignorantly fed wrong information about a condition under which a man can divorce his legally married wife, which according to them is when the woman commits adultery.   As a result of this misinfor...
