Put the kingdom first

Put the kingdom first.
“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.”
Matthew 6:33(AMP)

If you want to enjoy the favour of God consistently, then it is important for you to prioritize kingdom agenda. That is, you have to put kingdom agenda first. This is what you must do to experience a lifetime of unbroken favour, you must be totally dedicated to God and His kingdom.

An example of a people in scripture who activated the favour of God towards themselves because they prioritized the kingdom was the Macedonian Church. They were so addicted to the kingdom of God and God's agenda that, inspite of the fierce troubles they were experiencing, they gave spontaneously, even beyond what they could afford when they heard of the contributions for the relief of the poor Christians. Paul shows us why they were able to do this in 2 Corinthians 8:5(MSG), “… What explains it was that they had first given themselves unreservedly to God and to us. The other giving simply flowed out of the purposes of God working in their lives.”


A special favour and grace was bestowed on the Macedonian Church because of their unreserved devotion to God and to His kingdom. (2 Corinthians 8:1)

Prayer:
Dear Father, I thank you because the grace upon the Macedonian Church is released upon me even as I give myself unreservedly to You and to the kingdom, in Jesus Name. Amen.

For further study, read:
1 Corinthians 6:19-20, 2 Corinthians 5:14-15,
2 Corinthians 8:1-5.

Doing the Word:
Put the kingdom first.
