PREPARING MYSELF FOR THE DESERT: DAY 6

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, 

and all these things will be given to you as well.

Matthew 6.33

1. SEEK HIS KINGDOM

2. SEEK HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS

3. CONQUER THE PROMISES OF GOD

   Do you think it was concidence when God instructed us to seek in FIRST PLACE the Kingdom of God? No. However, there are those who have tried to jump to the third step first. It is something very common in the church. Among those who call themselves, "christians". The person wants to demand first the blessings of God, and THEN afterwards seek their salvaton. The person wants to see before they believe. They do not have any interest in a commitment with God. They make of God as if He was a mistress. In other words, they only go to Him when they want something and afterwards say "Bye"! However, the person who lives by faith, seeks in first place the Kingdom of God and then His righteousness, so that all of the things can be given, as He promised. 

Many people are inside the physical church, yet, far from the spiritual church, which is the Kingdom of God. Those who are in the Kingdom of God, want to do His will. This person examines themselves daily, seeking to live a life that pleases God. She seeks the righteousness of God. She lives a righteous life that is conquered through obedience. 

Those who live in righteousness, live according to the character of God. It was the same character of Abraham that called God's attention. His character, was what made Abraham become elected, chosen by God. 

“But my righteous one will live by faith.

    And I take no pleasure

    in the one who shrinks back.

Hebrews 10.38

What is the character of someone who is righteous?

• Faithful 
• Humble
• Integrity
• honors his/her word
• Does not deceive/hide
• transparent 

IN OTHER WORDS, THEY SHOW THE CHARACTER OF GOD.

WHEN A PERSON HAS THIS CHARACTER, THEY HAVE THE CONDICION TO DEMAND THE JUSTICE OF GOD AND CHARGE OF GOD THE DIFFERENCE THAT HE PROMISED. 

God has a greater desire to bless our lives then we do to receive. However, for these promises of God to be fulfilled, we need to act according to His will. We need to go in the order that He instructed us to follow. Which is to seek the Kingdom and then His righteousness. Which step do you find yourself in? Or, could it be that you have trying to skip steps and leap to the third one? Think about it! 

God Bless you!
