WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Matthew 6:33
A time will come in life where we need to ask ourselves this question: what exactly am I looking for in life? In our churches these days, you will hardly find 30% of worshippers in the church who truly love God and are not in church for selfish reasons.
Many are Christians not because they love Him, but because they understand that without Him they can’t be what they want to be in life. That’s why many people run after the miracles of God, and not the God of miracles. This means they are looking for miracles and not God.
I got to a certain point in my journey with God and asked myself why I wanted to follow Jesus and not the devil. Is it because of those things He promised to give me if I seek righteousness? Sincerely answer these questions; why are you following Jesus Christ? Why are you in church?
Many are in church today, because they need connections with big business partners, since lots of them are in church. Some are in church because they want to marry a godly brother or sister.
This means we are focusing on the wrong thing. The bible says; “seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness". It doesn’t say we should make those things He has promised us our focus while seeking His Kingdom and righteousness.
All He is saying is seek His kingdom and righteousness, having trust in Him that He has taken care of your tomorrow and needs. Matthew 6:34.
Having faith in God is one level, and trusting Him is another. When the four Hebrew guys were thrown into the fire, they said our God will deliver us. That’s faith. They went further to say even if He doesn’t deliver us, we won’t bow to other gods. That’s trust.
When we go around chasing what we want, we end up missing what we need. Until we learn to truly focus on Kingdom business, we will miss out on what we need. But seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness Matthew 6:33a
So what are you looking for?
