Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Over the last decade or so since the prosperity movement swept through the church we believe that God’s true focus was lost in all the excitement. Don’t get us wrong we think the prosperity movement and the prosperity preachers and teachers are mighty forces used by God to institute kingdom mentality into His children about how God desires us to live, but what we do think has happened is that many believers have taken the message out of context, and taken their focus off of God. Many have begun to seek the material things of this world first, instead of God. Now, because this has happened doesn’t mean God’s people don’t love and adore Him, it just means that we have gotten away from His heart and have turned the focus on our own desires.
We are in a time now where the prosperity message is being evolved into a true kingdom message, where all the aspects of God’s kingdom and how to operate in it are His main focal point for His children. God wants His people to live excellent lives here on earth and enjoy all the luxuries, and He will give these to you freely, but only if you seek what’s on His heart first, and seek His way of doing things that will empower you to create wealth.
Acts 13:22 (KJV)
And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfill all my will.
God raised up David to be king after Saul, not because David wanted to be rich, but because David was after the heart of God and God could trust him to fulfill His will and not the will of the flesh.
Once God sees that you’re in it to do His will and not only to have things for yourself, that’s when you will see your promotion. In-able for this to happen we have to align our hearts with His heart and fulfill His will.
So let’s not focus on only gaining material things because all those things have been added unto you if you walk according to God’s statutes.
Deuteronomy 8:18 (KJV)
But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
You don’t have to keep reminding and praying to God about material things, because He already knows what you want before you even know what you want. Instead ask Him what you can do for Him, for His kingdom, and for someone else. You’ll be surprised, when you start doing His will and seeking Him first what He’ll give you of material possessions.
Matthew 6:7-8 (KJV)
But when ye pray use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
Now we want you to ask yourself a serious question, are you only seeking a get rich quick plan from God or are you really seeking Him and the things on His heart? If you find yourself only seeking material things, don’t be condemned; ask God what you can do for Him and what’s on His heart concerning your assignment in His kingdom.
If you have been seeking God with all your heart, than praise the Lord; but now it’s time for you to go to the next level in Him. Just continue to seek Him unceasing and all will be revealed to you.
We pray that this has been a blessing on your life.
