Title [8.6] Priorities in life
Content br> (Matthew 6:33)
In today's text, the Lord says, "Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." When we do that, He will give us everything we need in life. There are delicacies that we must make and offer to God. What are the specific delicacies we should offer to God?
First, we must offer the delicacies of worship.
Because there is nothing more important than worship in the life of faith. God wants our worship. We must consider worship more important than anything else, and we must risk our lives for worship.
The famous theologian Paul Tillich defined faith as "the giving up of the second important for the first important." The most important person for a believer is God. The most important thing is to give up worldly things for God's sake. But how are we doing? If you are busy with business, have a wedding, or go on a trip, you fall into worship so easily. But these things are less important than the worship of God. Please remember that God created us, saved us, and made us children for the sake of worship.
Second, we have to offer material delicacies.
Love in words is not true love. Likewise, it is important to pray for blessings. But it is more important to do something that deserves the blessing. Ladies and gentlemen, if we don't serve God food, we make God sad, and when we need it, God bless us. I believe. I believe that God will bless you. If you pray , what will God say after hearing your prayer? We believe that God is not to be taken lightly. We believe that God makes us reap what we sow. I bless you in the name of the Lord that you can receive the blessings of God by giving God the delicacies of material things.
Third, we must serve the delicacies of the vision. Our dreams, our hopes, and our visions must all be for the Kingdom of God. However, if you look around us, there are many believers who do not realize the mission even though they attend church, do not know why I exist, why I have to study, why I have to enter a good university, why I need to prosper, the reason and purpose. I just have the goal of eating well and living well. But, folks, that shouldn't be the purpose of our lives. Who are we? We are God's chosen people, and we are a royal priesthood. We are not only born to receive God's love, but we are also born to spread this love. Therefore, we believe that, above all else, we must establish a vision to save the dying souls and to extend the kingdom of God to the ends of the earth. When we give the delicacies of this vision to God, we believe that God will bless our lives.
Do not change the order of your life, and I pray in the name of the Lord that you may experience the blessings and grace of God by living a life that always seeks His kingdom and righteousness first.
