How to seek the Kingdom of
God?
The first step in seeking the Kingdom of
God is to make a decision to read the Word of God
daily. It must be a priority in your life!
If you have to get up at 5 am to do it, then do it.
Something else has to go, the Word of God is first.
"My
son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my
sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep
them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those
who find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep your
heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of
life." (Prov. 4:20-22)
"For the word of God is living
and powerful..."(Heb. 4:12)
Is the Word of God alive
and powerful in your life? Out of your heart the Word of
God should flow when you are in the midst of a battle and give
you the answer to your problems.
Reading the Word sets
the atmosphere in which you may understand His Will, recognize
His way and hear the voice of His Spirit.
It is not enough
to read the Word, you must meditate
theWord. (Josh.1:8)
That means to "think" on the Word. As you go about the
day, you chose what you think on. We have a wonderful
brain and can think on many things as we do our
work.
"And do not be conformed to this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove
what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of
God." (Rom. 12:2)
In seeking the Kingdom of God
we must learn to think and act like Jesus did on this
earth. He is our example.
The next step is
to watch and pray. We have to learn to "ask"
the Holy Spirit to reveal the Word to us. We must pray,
"the eyes of your understanding being enlightened....(Eph.
1:17). The Word of God must be revealed to us by the
Holy Spirit for us to renew our mind and understand the ways
of the Kingdom of God.
A renewed mind opens the door to
the supernatural power of God. It brings peace, joy,
love and a sense of well being and purpose. That is what
separates you from the world!
