Seeking Always

How do we seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness?

Mat 12:23  And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David? 
Mat 12:24  But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. 
Mat 12:25  And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: 
Mat 12:26  And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? 
Mat 12:27  And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. 
Mat 12:28  But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. 

THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS COME TO YOU. (Jesus- the way to the kingdom of God)

Mat 19:24  And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 
Mat 19:25  When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? 
Mat 19:26  But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. 

With GOD we will enter the kingdom of God- entering the kingdom of God is being saved.

Mar 1:14  Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 
Mar 1:15  And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 

Jesus PREACHED the kingdom of God.
Jesus revealed the kingdom of God was at hand. 

Luk 13:18  Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? 
Luk 13:19  It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it. 
Luk 13:20  And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? 
Luk 13:21  It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. 

The kingdom of God.

Seek the kingdom of God first- in all things, and always. 

We may realize that the kingdom of God is eternity through Jesus Christ our Lord, and then believe we've found it and need to seek it no more. Truthfully we must constantly seek the kingdom of God first in our lives, our everyday life. IF we are seeking the kingdom of God first in all things, we will not be putting ourselves first in anything. 

We seek the kingdom of God first by putting God first, by putting our Savior first. We will forever run the race, until either we sleep death's sleep or our Savior returns. We will forever fight the good fight, until either we sleep death's sleep or our Savior returns. We NEVER stop racing, we NEVER stop fighting, we NEVER stop seeking.  We NEVER stop seeking to put God first!  We NEVER stop loving the LORD our God first and our fellowman after that.

Seek first the kingdom of God.

By HIS grace, by HIS righteousness!
