Seek God first

 

SEEK GOD FIRST 


In the hustle and bustle of life, it's easy to get caught up in various pursuits; from career ambitions to personal goals. However, as Christians, it is a must for us to seek God first. 


The Hebrew word for "Seek" (“baqash”) means to search out with a striving or desire. His “face”- “His presence”. To inquire or seek diligently. It often implies seeking with the intention of finding or understanding.

The Hebrew word for "first" ("ri'shôn") refers to being the initial or primary in order, time, or importance. It signifies placing something or someone at the forefront.


In Hebrew, when we say "seek God first," it implies diligently searching for and inquiring about God with the intention of making Him the primary focus and priority in our lives.


WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SEEK GOD?   

To seek God first means we turn to Him before anyone or anything else for help, guidance, wisdom, and setting priorities. When we seek God first, we regard Him not only as Sovereign God, but as a priceless treasure and the very center of our lives. 


In our day, many Christians turn to God when their options failed. They treat God just like a spare wheel. Many will prefer to consult men first, and then God. That is why even though they say God is powerful, they don't see His right hand move mightily in their lives. When God is not your priority, but only your backup plan, you will never experience His fullness. 


The Bible consistently teaches to seek God diligently. In the book of Jeremiah, God declares, "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart" (Jeremiah 29:13). 

When we can honestly do that, we don’t have to worry about tomorrow or the future. We trust His promises are true and that He will take care of us.


In this End time, those who will be the carriers of God's glory, are those who seek him FIRST with all their heart.

The Difference between Iniquity, Sin and Transgressions

 WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INIQUITY, SIN, AND TRANSGRESSION?  In Psalm 32:5, the psalmist says, "I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the LORD."  In this portion, “SIN,” “INIQUITY,” and “TRANSGRESSION” are all mentioned. All three words are used to describe the same basic concept: evil and lawlessness, as defined by God (see 1 John 3:4). However, upon closer examination, each word also carries a slightly different meaning. *SIN The word SIN and its cognates are used 786 times in Bible. From a Hebrew perspective, sin "chet" is defined as "missing the mark" of God's will and standard of righteousness or "falling short."  It can refer to doing something against God or against a person (Exodus 10:16), doing the opposite of what is right (Galatians 5:17), doing something that will have negative results (Proverbs 24:33–34), and failing to do something you know is right (Jam...

Start Your Week With Purpose

  STARTING the WEEK with PURPOSE  Beloved in Christ, A new week has begun, and with it comes new opportunities, new challenges, and a fresh start. But how do we ensure that we are not just going through the motions of life? How do we step into this week with purpose, diligence, and a kingdom mindset? Let me take you to a familiar yet powerful Bible story, the story of Joseph. Joseph’s life was marked by hardships, betrayals, and delays. Yet, despite all this, he remained a man of purpose, working diligently in every situation he found himself in. When Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers (Genesis 37:28), he could have given up. He could have become bitter and lazy, doing just enough to survive. But instead, he worked faithfully as a servant in Potiphar’s house.  Joseph didn’t just do his work; he did it with excellence, even in a place where he was unjustly placed. Because of his diligence, he was promoted. But then came another setback, Potiphar’s wife falsely ac...
