God’s Kingdom and His Righteousness

Matthew 6:33
But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness….
• God is interested to give His kingdom to us. It is His good pleasure to give us His kingdom.

Luke 12:32.
• You can have God’s kingdom while you are here on earth. Otherwise, why will Jesus tell us to seek God’s Kingdom if you are going to have it when you die.
And His promise is that you will have all the things you need in this life if you seek God’s kingdom. So you can have God’s Kingdom while you are here on earth.

I. God’s formula for a stress free life.
A. Seek His kingdom.
• 1. Let Jesus reign in your life.
• 2. Let others know Jesus and have Him reign in their lives.
• 3. Jesus is the King and we are His subjects. As servants to the King, we should be after doing His will and obeying His command and fulfill His commission.
