Gospel leads people to the Lord Jesus and to heaven through the Seeking the kingdom of God From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matthew 4:17.
Hence, the step before seeking the kingdom is to be repent. We have to repent from not only from the sin but also from seeking their own, living for themselves, seeking earthly things first, seeking money and honour, seeking own will rather than God’s will. Hence, these were not present in the kingdom of God at heaven. So we have to humble our self and to be repent and to be learning from Jesus. He the Lord called us to follow Him.
Turning to God, loving Him with one’s whole heart, Faith in Christ’s death on the cross can forgive a man his sins only when he has repented. Then he can receive the power of the Holy Spirit empower him to deny himself daily so that he can live with God. This is the good news that Jesus and the apostles preached.
Throughout Jesus’ earthly life denied his own will and did His Father’s will. And He told His disciples clearly that those who wanted to be His disciples would have to go the same way. He came to hit at the root of sin in our lives – “doing our own will” – and to deliver us from that Then, Jesus says…
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you Matthew 6:33
And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick Luck 9:2
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven Matthew 6:10 There are many categorized among the Christian’s world may be mainly Roman Catholics and Protestants according doctrine, or a church-pattern or to make them speak in tongues etc…
But one thing we sure, that our Lord did not come primarily to give people a doctrine, or a church-pattern or to make them speak in tongues or even to give them an experience! All the above were only the external part of life.
Then the inner part of life and private walk with God is the mark of seeking the kingdom of God. This gate small and the way also narrow very few can pass away is the way of kingdom of God. We have to categorize ourselves according our own willing and wishes.
Many of them know the truth but, they are not willing to obey or follow is the critical situation which is favour to our common enemy sadden.. Jesus came to his world to “save us from sin” and also to do” the will of His Father” He denied his own will and did His Father’s will and to deliver us from our own will is the real thing.
What is kingdom of God?
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven is the kingdom of God. Seeking our own and doing our own will is not the kingdom of God. For any citizen under any government they have to obey all the government laws.
It is the fundamental truth. If suppose anybody against the law will be furnished by their own government. For example in the heaven no one angel disobeys against the Lord. Once upon a time one person while thinking against God He immediately sent him out.
When God call Gabriel or Michael Immediately they stand before the Lord and ready to obey to his commands. When his father calls Jesus, Jesus himself obeys and does the will of His father.
Nobody will struggling to obey and also obey with cheerful with joy. No murmuring, no sadness .Seeking their own, living for themselves, seeking earthly things first, seeking money and honour are not suitable to enter the kingdom of God.
The first sin in the world is from seeking their own.In the beginning….And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as Gods, knowing good and evil And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat Gen.3:4-6
They seek their own and ignore the will of God and God’s kingdom.
Hence, you may inside the garden eastward in Eden created by the God itself. Having merely the right doctrine, experience and church-pattern, will never leads to kingdom of God..
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. It should be start from our inner life rather than our outer life, Most of the Christian care only for their outer life is the favour to sadden. Without repent simply repeat the word is not a meaningful.
When we disobey God’s word will not hallowed Him.
All time he obey, but due to onetime instead of speaking to the rock he struck the rock, he cannot able to enter in to the canon. It happens in Moses life. Who may lead the people may not able to enter in it.
Many of us know that “Christ died for our sins” (1 Cor.15:3).
Many of us we do not know Christ also died that we should no longer live for ourselves but for Him.
CARE ON YOUR SECRET LIFE
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. Matthew 6:6 Judge not, that ye be not judged Matthew 7:1 Love others and also Love your enemy is the secret of life.
The entire above are beginning from the internal life part. These only lead people to the Lord Jesus and to heaven is the kingdom of God..Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there at: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13-14
Hence, seeking our own and doing our own will is not the kingdom of God. We ourselves know our inner motivations and desires. Even our wives may not be aware what we are living for.
Having merely the right doctrine, experience and church-pattern, will never leads to kingdom of God. Live for Christ, Love one another, Forgive others, Honour the God’s word , Seek the kingdom of God first are the Spiritual way of growth
The false gate wide and the way broad (easy to walk along, because one does not have to deny one’s Self or stop living for one’s own interests or stop seeking one’s own gain). And many of us enter through this gate and walk along this way, imagining that it leads to life.
But it actually leads to destruction..
“Be careful how you listen. Whoever obeys what he has heard, to him more lightly and understanding will be given. But whoever does not obey what he has heard, even what light and understanding he thinks he has will be taken away from him.” Luke 8:18. May the God bless you for ever .
