Mathew 6:33
"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these
things shall be added to you".
As i heard my sister on the phone talking
to my parents in India, both my parents were complaining of the trials they
were facing and that there was no money to continue the house construction they
had begun. I took the phone from my sister and as i opened my mouth i heard
myself telling my parents to read Mathew 6:33;
And as i began to listen, my own voice
ministered back to me more than i think it must have ministered to my parents.
I was saying that the first thing we need
to do as Gods children was to seek His kingdom
and righteousness first, and then all these other things will follow.
Jesus said in Luke
17:21 neither shall they say, Lo here! Or, lo there for
behold the kingdom of God is within you.
As I started thinking, if there is a Kingdom of God that we carry inside of us, then this kingdom needs to have a King and I understood that the King is Jesus Christ. When we have Jesus ruling and reigning over the Kingdom in our heart, no other force or ruler can take dominion, not even my thoughts or desires can take root in my heart and hope to rule, because there is no ruler or power which can dethrone Jesus as He is The King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

The Holy Spirit then reminded me of, Romans 14:17 For the Kingdom of God is not
food or drinks but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.I understood that, since I have this Kingdom of God in me I should and I must be leaking none
other than righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
His Kingdom is
ruled in righteousness of The Son of God.
The Holy Spirit, revealed to me, what the Righteousness of God was, which i needed to seek. He in His glorious majesty revealed the secrets of His Word to me, a tiny little lady in the world. I knew in my heart that I had received and I had become a part taker of His righteousness along with many of His children the moment I gave my heart to Him, in that very instant when I confessed and believed that He is the Lord and Saviour of my heart. His righteousness fell over my life as a canopy which was made of the faultless blameless blood of the Lamb, which He shed for me. I knew I was made right in Him by the sacrifice He gave for me, I realized that I am made right not because of what I did or what I do, but because of who He is , and by faith I am made righteous.For this reason I know when Jehovah God looks at me, He sees the blood of His beloved Son Jesus upon every area of my life. I am found in His righteousness.

I asked the lord,
where and how do i seek Him, He took me to Mathew 7: 7, 8 Ask, and it shall be given to you;seek and ye shall find;knock, and it shall be opened unto you.For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that
seeketh findeth; and to him Bthat knocketh it shall be opened.
As I seek Him, His kingdom and His righteousness,
I know that I will not just find all these but I knew in my heart I will
be found in Him.
