But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you (Matthew 6:33).
The Lord Jesus said, “…Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink…” (Matthew 6:25). Why doesn’t He want you to think or worry about your life? It’s because He already sorted and settled everything about your life. He said, “Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?” (Matthew 6:26).
You’re God’s treasure, His most valuable and cherished possession. The Bible says He already knows what’s in your heart before you ask Him (Matthew 6:8). He’s given you His life, His Name, His nature and His Kingdom. He’s given you all things (1 Corinthians 3:21, 2 Peter 1:3).
Now, having given you all things and done exceeding, abundantly more than you can ask or think, He gave a simple instruction: “…seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness…” (Matthew 6:33). The key is for you to seek only the Kingdom and then everything else He’s already done for you, or that you could ever desire, will manifest. That’s the way of the Spirit.
Refuse to chase after material possessions, thinking life is about what you own. The Lord Jesus said, “…Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth” (Luke 12:15). What are your pursuits in life? What gets your attention? You already have everything in Christ Jesus; therefore, focus on expanding the Kingdom of God. Focus on the Gospel and the spread of righteousness in the nations.
Houses, lands, influence, wealth, etc., they’re already yours. Don’t run after them; set your gaze on God’s Kingdom only. Make the promotion of His righteousness your passion, your life’s pursuit. As you do, all the things others are desperately chasing will come to you without struggle. That’s the life of faith; that’s the life of the Spirit.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for making me an heir of the Kingdom. Christ is my all, and in Him, I have all things. I refuse to be anxious over material possessions, for I live in your Word and by your Spirit. My only pursuit is the expansion of your Kingdom and promotion of your righteousness to all nations, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Luke 12:29-31 KJV
And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. [30] For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. [31] But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Colossians 3:1-2 KJV
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. [2] Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

But godliness with contentment is great gain. [7] For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
