“…seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you…” Matthew 6:33 (NKJV).
Over the years, something I have discovered in walking with God is that all He seeks to give you is Himself. All He wants you to pursue in your walk with Him is His Person, and not His blessings. But sadly, that is not the case today. Many of God’s people are actually in pursuit of His blessings rather than His person. And when the blessings do not manifest the way they expect, they begin to doubt the word of God or think that God isn’t faithful. In most cases, they even go as far measuring God’s faithfulness in their lives according to their earthly possessions. So if their possessions aren’t much, they don’t think that God is faithful enough to them. But you know what? I found out that if you are truly going to walk in the blessings of God, you have to pursue God and not His blessings.
The key to walking in the blessings of God is to seek or follow after the Giver of the blessing not the blessing itself. The reason is that if you solely pursue the blessings, you will miss it. You will only find yourself running in circles. However, your case can be different; make a conscious decision to genuinely seek God and trust me, His blessings will come after you in ways you never imagined. That’s why God said to the Israelites, if you seek me, you will find me when you search for me with all your heart (Scripture Reference: Jeremiah 29:13-14). From this, you see that God wants you to pursue Him. Hallelujah!
Today’s Rhema
When you pursue the blesser, you will surely have the blessings!
Confession for the Day
Father, I am grateful for reminding me of the approach I am supposed to have in my walk with you. I therefore decree today that you are all that I need, so I choose this day to channel my time, resources and strength towards you and all that pertains to the kingdom in Jesus’ name. Amen!
