According to the Gospel of Matthew we are to seek FIRST the Kingdom of God.
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
The Word SEEK means to
to seek in order to find
to seek a thing
to seek [in order to find out] by thinking, meditating, reasoning, to enquire into
to seek after, seek for, aim at, strive after
to seek, i.e. require, demand

TO WORSHIP The LORD
Many have prayed the prayer of Matthew 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
We pray these prayers, but what should we expect and what should our response be.
We should expect a removal of the things that hinder our walk with the Lord. We then should expect to see the setting of DIVINE ORDER.
When we ask for the Kingdom we should expect Divine Light, Love, Law and Life to enter into a place.
These four components will challenge everything that is not like the LORD.
We then should expect the ESTABLISHING of the Kingdom in our hearts.
What will we receive?
Five things that we get when we ask for the Kingdom.
Matthew 6:33
1. The Rule of the King
To be guarded and fed like a Shepherd with sheep. The King nourishes and protects His citizens (His Children) and His Kingdom.
2. Realm of the Kingdom.
We receive that which is established in the Heavens. We begin to see its effects in the natural realm as the revelation and strength of the Kingdom increases in our lives and those around us.
We see the advancing of the Kingdom through the power of Word, deeds, acts and demonstration.
3. Royalty of the King and His Kingdom.
We receive the benefits of the dignity of the King.
4. The Reign of the Authority of the King.
We have the right to exercise the authority of the King and demonstrate the power of the Kingdom.
He has given us the power to become the sons of God.
5. The Righteousness of the King
We receive the nature and character of the King.
We are being transformed into His likeness.
We begin to desire the Moral correctness of Christ.
We are moving from being the sons of man to becoming the sons of God.
In His Love,
Jesse
