Seek GOD!
JESUS told us, “But seek first The Kingdom of GOD and His
Righteousness, and all these things (food, clothing, shelter) will be added to you.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow…” Matthew 6:25-34
If we are seeking GOD first and obeying His Will for us then
we have nothing to worry about.
He told us “Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot
kill the soul. But rather fear Him Who is able to destroy both soul and body in
hell…Do not fear therefore…” Matthew 10:27-31
If we fear GOD with reverence and trembling because of Who He
Is, What He has done for us and What He Will Do we will seek Him above everything
else.
How Do We Seek GOD?
In 2 Chronicles 6:12-42 Solomon prayed to GOD and in 2 Chronicles
7:12-22 GOD answered. Most people quote verse 7:14, “If My people who are
called by Me Name will Humble themselves, and Pray and Seek My face, and Turn from
their wicked ways, then I will Hear from Heaven and will Forgive their sin and Heal
their land.”
The key for GOD to Hear, Forgive and Heal is when we Humbly Pray,
Seek and Repent before Him.
Every promise in The Bible has a Requirement and every curse
or judgment follows rebellion and disobedience!
“The fear of The LORD is the beginning of Wisdom, but fools
despise Wisdom and Instruction.” Proverbs 1:7
“The Fear of The LORD is the beginning of Wisdom and
Knowledge of the Holy One is Understanding.” Proverbs 9:10
If we do not study The Bible we cannot know GOD, Paul said, “How
shall they call upon Him in Whom they have not Believed? And how shall they
Believe in him of Whom they have not Heard? And how shall they Hear without a Preacher?
And how shall they Preach unless they are Sent?...So then Faith comes by
Hearing, and Hearing by The Word of GOD.” Romans 10:14-21
Paul told Timothy, “Remind them of these things…Be diligent
to present yourself approved to GOD, a worker who does not need to be ashamed,
rightly dividing The Word of Truth…in humility correcting those who are in
opposition…that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil…”
2 Timothy 2:14-26.
“But you have carefully followed my doctrine…But you must
continue in the things you have learned…All Scripture is given by inspiration of
GOD, and is Profitable for Doctrine, for Reproof, for Correction, for Instruction
in Righteousness, that the man of GOD may be complete, thoroughly equipped for
every Good Work.” 2 Timothy 3:10-17.
Study 1 Timothy 2-3.
Jude said, “But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your
most holy faith, praying in The Holy SPIRIT, keep yourselves in the Love of
GOD, looking for the Mercy of our LORD JESUS CHRIST unto Eternal Life.” Vs.
20-21.
When anyone quotes a scripture and tells you what it means –
look it up yourself, read it in context and listen to The Holy SPIRIT. If you
know the to who, the why and when it was written you will have a better
understanding of how it applies to your life.
There Is A Point Of No Return!
Every Scripture applies to your life and GOD will hold only
you responsible to know and live by them! Everyone who calls on the Name of The
LORD will be judged according to how they lived and how they lived will be
determined by what they believed.
Isaiah said, “Seek The LORD while He may be found, call upon
Him while He is near…and to our GOD, for He will abundantly pardon.” Isaiah
55:6-7
But there can be a day in our life when GOD will not be found,
no matter how much we cry out for salvation!
Solomon said, “Wisdom calls aloud outside…turn at My rebuke…because
I have called and you refused…and your destruction comes like a whirlwind…they
will seek Me diligently, but will not find Me. Because they hated Knowledge and
did not choose the Fear of The LORD.” Proverbs 1:20-33
1 Corinthians 3, “And I brethren, could not speak to you as
to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in CHRIST…For you are still
carnal…For no other Foundation can anyone lay than that which is already laid,
which is JESUS CHRIST. Now if anyone builds on This Foundation…each ones work
will become clear; for The Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by
fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. If anyone’s
work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone’s
work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as
through fire…”
Hebrews 5:12-14, “For though by this time you ought to be
teachers, you need someone to teach you again the First Principles of the Oracles
of GOD; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes
only of milk is unskilled in The Word of Righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid
food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use
have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”
