Letting the Game Down Is Seeking the Kingdom of God
Here is help from the bible about how to do that in your everyday life.
Seeking The Kingdom : Your Present Life, Your Eternty and Your Perception of Self Purpose in Life
Matthew25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
THE SHEEP (Inherit The Kingdom)
25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
25:35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
25:36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
25:37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
25:38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
25:39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
THE GOATS (Cast into Everlasting Darkness)
25:41Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
25:42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink
25:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
25:45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
*25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.*
Seeking Gods Kingdom
Matthew 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, *What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?*
6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
SEEKING THE KINGDOM OF GOD:
The Prize of Obedience vs The Consequence of Disobedience
Obedience to Seeking the kigdom of God has its reward just as stated in Matthew 25 that is in Eternal life, and because it is the promise THAT IS as well as IS TO COME we also find the blessings and fruit of it in the present time we spend in Life amongst people on the earth. Matthew 6 tells us that even those things we seek ourselves are found in seeking the kingdom that ALL OF THEM WILL FOLLOW.
Since matthew 25 tells us what deeds are those finshed works of Christ that we live in and walk in BY FAITH, seeking the kingdom shows to be the outworking and OUTREACHING of our hand as the hand of God himself in the love and compassion for ANYONE struggling (the least of these) even if we dont knkw the person or even consider them our enemy.
This changes ones outlook on life and realigns your concept of PURPOSE and WHY you are in existense and WHAT YOU MUST DO to please God with YOUR FAITH by showing you the deeds to put it in.
You begin to see that YOU ARE made to serve God by serving the less privledged, by SUPPLYIG FOR THOSE WITH LACK OR LESS THAN YOU, by SEEKING OUT AND SEARCHING for anyone who needs something yo can provide and FREELY GIVING IT TO THEM knowing that your father in heaven will repay you and reward you IN ANOTHER PLACE along your walk of Faith in these deeds and seeking them.
Sowing and Reaping vs Freely Giving and Freely Receiving
2 Corinthians 9:6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
This scripture above points out that when we sow sparingly we will reap sparingly supporting the law of sowing and reaping which somewhat bases its results on our own actions or at least the portion which pertains to our willful abundance on our own behalf.
This is a lower level of working Gods blessings in a mechanical manner which only coughs up what you put in and if you fail to put anything in then yo will reap the same just as the law stands.
Here in this scripture below is the HIGHER understanding of Gods blessig that shows us that we RECEIVE FREELY and thus WE OUGHT TO GIVE FREELY as well as GOD HIMSELF being the provider of The ABUNDANCE of blessing and multiplication of that little bit we have input or even the little that we may have asked for as opposed to the abundance and overflowif outpouring that we really receive from God.
(In the midst of commisioning the Gospel preaching to us) Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: *freely ye have received, freely give.*
Acts 20:35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
This again reverts to stating the PURPOSE of a person amongst others, some of who because of the scale of worldly riches are WEAK or needy or less fortunate than you are.
It then goes on to telling us that IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN RECEIVE, which is evidence of Gods reccomendation and blessed commandment to SEEK THE KINGDOM FIRST and that ALL OTHER THINGS WIL FOLLOW that we need for the day in terms of food, clothing or ANYTHING material that is necessary for our sustinance as well as for the fulfilment of that very Seeking of the Kingdom.
Such is true religion.
James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows (anyone in need) in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
BELOW IS - The key principle of balanced wisdom that tells us HOW GOD ORDAINED THINGS TO BE IN LIFE WHEN IT COMES TO WEALTH AND POSSESIONS and the Revelation Seed of STEWARDSHIP:
2 Corinthians 8:14 But by an equality, that now at this timooe your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:
2Co 8:15 As it is written, He that [had gathered] much had nothing over; and he that [had gathered] little had no lack.
HOW THINGS REALLY ARE.
------REAL LIFE LESSON------
From anyone looking at the truth that money gets its value from "scarcity" and even "scarcity management", you can see how it in fact creates a principaly "perceived scarcity" only in MIND and IDEA which in reality and totality is not true to any degree.
Point blank, the source of poverty is THE USAGE OF MONEY.
A system in which every ONE person whom is enriched with 100 dollars at the EXPENSE of 100 people taking their 1 dollar each. This is what the riches of any money system is based upon if you didnt know... nw you do... this is why the bible says.. so...
Corinthians 8:14 But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:
Gods wisdom for survival
