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.

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...

THE DOOR OF SALVATION

  I am honored to write a book on the topic of how to get born again. In this book, I will be sharing with you my personal experiences and insights on this topic. Dear readers! Greetings to you, from all over the world. I am thrilled to have this opportunity to share my insights with you on a topic that I'm deeply passionate about: "How to Get Born Again". Today, we are living in a world that is more complex and challenging than ever before. Many misconceptions are shared behind the pulpits, books and videos on this matter, that generate a type of people that are really not born again. Many preachers promote a style on how to get born again that put the souls in a kind of simulation and make people think that they are born again when they are not. That is why many called Christians are not able to live a sinless life. In our modern time it is so easy to lose our way amid the chaos and confusion. However, I'm a firm believer that it is never too late to start again ...
