SEEKING GOD FIRST WITH A GOOD SPIRITUAL
REASONS AND PURPOSE.
( Matthew 6:33 ) But seek ye first the kingdom of
God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
1. WE SEEK GOD FIRST FOR DAILY PRAISING AND GLORIFYING
GOD IN CHRISTIAN LIFE.
( 1 Corinthians
6:19-20 ) [19]What?
know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you,
which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
[20]For ye are bought with a
price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
a. The Lord Jesus Christ is our good example for glorifying and praise
God the Father.
( John 17:4 ) I have glorified thee on the
earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
2. WE SEEK GOD FIRST FOR DAILY ASKING OF GIVING US THE
SPIRITUAL RIGHTEOUSNESS IN CHRISTIAN LIFE.
( 1 Corinthians
1:30-31 ) [30]But of
him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and
righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
[31]That, according as it is
written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
3. WE SEEK GOD FIRST FOR ASKING GOD FOR DAILY SPIRITUAL
STRENGHT IN CHRISTIAN LIFE.
( II Timothy 2:1-4 )
[1]Thou
therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
[2]And the things that thou hast
heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who
shall be able to teach others also.
[3]Thou therefore endure hardness,
as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
[4]No man that warreth entangleth
himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen
him to be a soldier.
Paul encourages the Christians to be strong in our spiritual life.
(Ephesians 6:10-14) [10]Finally, my brethren, be
strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
[11]Put on the whole armour of
God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
[12]For we wrestle not against
flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers
of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
[13]Wherefore take unto you the
whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and
having done all, to stand.
[14]Stand therefore, having your
loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
4. WE SEEK GOD FIRST FOR ASKING THE HOLY SPIRIT TO
EMPOWER US IN OUR CHRISTIAN LIFE.
( Acts 1:8 ) But ye shall receive power, after
that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in
Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of
the earth.
The Holy Spirit always guide us and gives wisdom in Christian life.
( John 16:13 ) Howbeit when he, the Spirit of
truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of
himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew
you things to come.
5. WE SEEK GOD FIRST FOR DAILY ASKING FORGIVENESS OF SINS
DONE BEFORE GOD.
( 1 John 1:9-10 ) [9]If we confess our sins, he is
faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.
[10]If we say that we have not
sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
( James 5:16 ) And the prayer of faith shall save
the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they
shall be forgiven him.
6. WE SEEK GOD FIRST FOR SPIRITUAL LOVE TO GOD AND JOY IN
CHRISTIAN LIFE.
( John 15:10-11 ) [10]If ye keep my commandments, ye
shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide
in his love.
[11]These things have I spoken
unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
God bless you all always *
