“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33
Text — Matthew 6:31-34
Message
It will look strange for a child dressing up to go to school, to wear his shoes before wearing the socks. In the same way, it will be abnormal for a person to dress up before entering into the bathroom to take his bath. These actions are exactly what happens every time you seek and pray for success in examination, God’s provision, divine protection, and all other physical provisions and blessings without seeking the salvation of your soul. Seeking the kingdom of God first is the wisest thing to do as our Lord Jesus Christ counsels everyone.
To seek the kingdom of God is to truly repent and turn away from all your sins and receive forgiveness.
Step 1:Sincerely turn away from the life of fighting, bullying
others, stealing, telling lies, disobedience to instructions and all other bad things. Tell Jesus Christ to forgive.
Step 2:you and come into your heart. Believe that He has
Step 3:forgiven you and accepted you into His kingdom.
First thing first; open the door of your heart to Jesus and let Him come in and all other things shall be yours.

Lord Jesus, come into my heart and make me your child.
