Seek first the kingdom of God

When the messengers in the right hand of Christ proclaim the word of present truth to us, by the Holy Spirit, the kingdom of God is brought near to us. It is an invitation to join the fellowship of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Speaking as a messenger of Christ, the apostle John declared, ‘That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.’ 1Jn 1:3.

Jesus highlighted the imperative for every son of God to keep choosing this fellowship by saying, ‘Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.’ Mat 6:33. Jesus instructed us to seek first the kingdom of God because it is a choice. Seeking first the kingdom of God is the same as choosing the more excellent way. We seek first the kingdom of God by continually presenting ourselves for discipleship in the fellowship that belongs to the kingdom of God.

The outcome of seeking first the kingdom of God is the blessing of peace upon our house. The blessing of peace demonstrates that we are learning to abide in the fellowship of Yahweh. The evidence of the blessing of peace upon our house will be an increasing capacity for fellowship in our marriage, in our family, in our extended family, and from house to house in our local congregation. Significantly, a house of peace has been delivered from the power of familiar spirits. Satan has no access to a house of peace. A house of peace cannot be cursed.

When we are properly connected to the fellowship of the kingdom of God, then we will be receiving grace for the works of our sonship each day. The righteousness of God will be revealed by us from faith to faith. Rom 1:17.
