WHAT IS YOUR PURSUIT?

 SEPTEMBER. 16TH.


TEXT: Matthew 6:30-34King James Version (KJV)

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Too many of us are just too conscious of the rat race of life and this is the reason many are missing the divine purpose of God for their lives.

The Spirit of the Lord wants us to understand that before God not everything counts. Too many are busy trying to please God with our titles and positions but your pursuit and passion for the things of the kingdom of God are much more important. Some people pursue recognition, fame, prestige, or money only to miss that which will bring God glory. What do you go after?

Before you go after anything please stop and ask yourself if this is meant to be of some benefit to His kingdom or your selfish desire/ambitions. Those who go after pleasing God get the job done and then the blessings that others die for will begin to follow them.

If Jesus said that it is the heathens that seek after these things then it is a demotion for any child of God to settle for that. The truth is that God knows what our needs are and He knows just how to give us these things. God is too willing to bless us when He sees that our heart is prepared to use it to bring glory to Him. But the truth is that He will not open the door until our hearts are ready. In your personal life, if you want to see God’s glory it is very simple, just go after Him with all your heart.
