Seek the Kingdom of God

A word of Wisdom
On Seek the Kingdom of God

Luke 12:31-32 KJV
But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
[32] Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Matthew 6:33-34 KJV
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
[34] Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

It has long been my (mis)understanding that "Seek ye the Kingdom of God" is referring to my seeking to do the good works for the Kingdom.
While this is true, this is not exactly what the Lord is saying here.

To understand what the Lord is instructing us, we need to know what the Kingdom of God is like.

The Kingdom of God is a realm full of the Glory of God, a place full of light and there is no darkness.
There is no worry nor sorrow nor sickness nor death.
Everything is good and in plentiful abundance and there is no lack nor want whatsoever.
Everything is perfect.

Now, the Lord is telling us, instead of worrying about our provisions, supplication, needs and the future (the morrow), all we have to do is to seek all these things that in the Kingdom of God!
It is a truth as simple as that but our carnal minds tend to over-spiritualised it.

Matthew 6:32 KJV
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

Therefore, Jesus' instruction to us is simply to keep our thoughts, prayers and desires intently focused, seeking every single thing we need or in lack of, on the plentifully abundant Kingdom of God and the Heavenly Father will make provisions of these things to us.

[32] Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

If the Gentiles also seek these things by their ways of man, shouldn't we as the children of God be provided even more abundantly of these things by the ways of God?
It is the Father's good pleasure to give us the Kingdom;
wealth, health and success, all that is in the Kingdom!

We simply have to ask and seek the Father for that which is abundantly available in His Kingdom and it shall be opened to us.

Matthew 7:7-8 KJV
Ask, and it shall be given you;
seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
[8] For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

A Real-life Deliverance Account

My sister and I had just done a deliverance on my mum yesterday (Tue, 28 Nov 2023).  It started when she kept vomitting and feeling very giddy and we laid hands upon her as usual according to the Word for divine healing.  However, it merely gave some relief to her, unlike other times as after a while, the extreme nauseousness and giddiness attacked her again. Then right around this point the demon took over her mind (soul) somewhat partially. The symptoms was that she looked dazed and kept repeating over and over again a number of questions like "Why am I sitting here" etc.  At this point when we talked to her, she did not remember anything that she did for the whole day (current time around 4pm+). It is very much like how a person with dementia would behaved and conversed.  To keep the long story short,  we took 2-3 hrs of casting out the demons in her and she is well now. Fast forward, It appeared that the demons came from H***i B***r (American Missionary) who came to our s

Absolute Surrender: Peter's Repentance

Image
Absolute Surrender By Andrew Murray Peter's Repentance You may be a very earnest, godly, devoted believer, in whom the power of the flesh is yet very strong. That is a very solemn truth.  Peter, before he denied Christ, had cast out devils and had healed the sick; and yet the flesh had power, and the flesh had room in him.  Oh, beloved, we have to realize that it is just because there is so much of that self-life in us that the power of God cannot work in us as mightily as God is willing that it should work.  Do you realize that the great God is longing to double His blessing, to give tenfold blessing through us?  But there is something hindering Him, and that something is a proof of nothing but the self-life.  We talk about the pride of Peter, and the impetuosity of Peter, and the self-confidence of Peter. It all rooted in that one word, self.  Christ had said, “Deny self,” and Peter had never understood, and never obeyed; and every failing came out of that. What a solemn thought,

A word of Knowledge: Stop depicting the Holy Spirit as a dove

A word of Knowledge Stop depicting the Holy Spirit as a dove Luke 3:22 KJV And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. Many people, if not everyone, have misunderstood this verse. They pictured the Holy Spirit coming in the shape of a dove coming down upon Jesus. No, this is not what God is telling us at all.  What purpose does it serve to tell us the Holy Spirit looks like a dove where He obviously does not look like that?  God is not the author of foolishness and  confusion.  We are made in God's image, therefore, God the Holy Spirit's bodily shape is one that resembles that of a man, just as God the Son and God the Father. Now, let us read the verse again slowly: "And the Holy Ghost descended in a BODILY SHAPE like a dove upon him" ...in what bodily shape? It is of course in the shape of a man! And the Holy Ghost DESCENDED in a bodily shape LIKE A
