Having All Things Added To You

Having All Things Added To You

Matthew 6:33
33But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

You are probably a responsible person who is concerned about providing well for your family — making sure that there is food on the table, money for the children’s needs, comfort and education, and so on.

What does God have to say to us about these legitimate concerns? According to Matthew 6:31, He tells us, “Do not worry.” Now, He is not saying that we don’t need all these things because in the same portion of scripture He says, “For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.” (Matthew 6:32)

So God cares about us having these things. He wants us to have all these things. In fact, He wants all these things added to us. And He tells us that the way these things are added to us is by us seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Therefore, our number one priority every day is to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness. It is not to seek to add these things to ourselves.

But what is righteousness? Righteousness is not right behavior. It is right standing with the Father. It is the clearance of all your guilt, which makes you able to stand before God. It is not something you get through right behavior. It is a gift from God. Paul calls it “the gift of righteousness”. (Romans 5:17) And to “seek” this gift is to be conscious of the fact that you have it, to confess that you are righteous in Christ.

So this righteousness we are told to seek is not right behavior, but right standing before God, which comes to us as a gift when we receive salvation. At the cross, Jesus didn’t just remove our sins, He also gave us His righteousness so that today, we can come boldly before the throne of God and receive freely everything that He died to give us!

Today, if you want to provide your family with the good things in life, be assured that your heavenly Father knows that you need these things. Just seek His righteousness, not your own righteousness, and “all these things shall be added to you”!

Jesus is not asking you to psych yourself up...

and live in a state of denial. No way! He is saying to you, "In the midst of your affliction, I am your shield. I am your defender. I am your fortress. I am your refuge. I am your supply. I am your healing. I am your provider. I am your peace. I am your joy. I am your wisdom. I am your strength. I am the glory and the lifter of your head!"
Amen!
He is not asking you to pretend that the facts are not there.
He wants you to realize that HE IS THERE WITH YOU!

You cannot psych yourself...

out of fear nor can you psych yourself out of worry. You can't just tell yourself, "Come on, stop worrying. There is nothing to worry about. "It just doesn't work. The debt will still be staring you in your face and your problems will still be as insurmountable as ever no matter how hard you try to psych yourself up.
That is what the world is trying to do, but it does not work.
It takes the presence of the Lord to keep you free from worry!

Bulls eye!

It is interesting when you listen to how some Christians talk.
You may hear them talking about what the devil did to them, how they got really mad at the devil and how they spent a whole night rebuking the devil. Such Christians may also go around town telling people what the devil has been telling them, but you will never hear them talking about what the Lord has been telling them.
Guess what?
They are tuned in to the wrong frequency!

Before you die, do this.

Ok. so you are a hardcore atheist or a person who believes is a freethinker
or whatever.

One day, you are about to experience something totally different or awesome.
That is maybe, you're about to die.

Hold for one moment.
And I want you to do this before you're about to lose your last moment here
on earth.

Yes!
I know, you don't believe in God and Jesus doesn't exist.
Are you happy now?

Say that again.

ok.

When you're in a situation where death is right in front of your face
like when you are falling from a cliff or like the 911 building and you
scream at the top of your soul " aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

instead of sreaming "ahhhhhhhhhh!

just say , "JESUS"...instead.

Yep. Just one word.

and thats it.

At least you give Jesus a chance to be in your life, right?

And then hooh boy you are saved!

Hey no one has gone to heaven yet. so who knows what will really
happen in the afterlife, right?
(I tell you, I still have lots of questions running around in my head
but I still chose to believe.)


This way, you won't feel regrets or shame anymore for believing
thereafter because you'll be dead anyway.
hahah!

alright!

Thats me.

I want everything in my life to be insured before I go away,

of course, that includes my soul.

If you're gona listen to me. Thank you.

Remember me , will yah?

let me share with you some thoughts I've read from my facebook
before you can go back living to your what you call is
a "normal" or "extra-ordinary" life..

Now you are free to post some of your rants on this thread.
I know you'll say Christian sucks! Jesus is like this and that..
blah blah blah.

Heyyy I know you're smart and high-spirited IQ. The world knows that.
So no worries. I will respect you.

Feel free to read the message below and have a good day. :)

Enjoy!

Don't Stop Praying

And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise."
—Luke 23:43

When Jesus was on the cross, one of the men being crucified next to Him came to his senses and said, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom" (Luke 23:42).

So Jesus said, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise" (verse 43). You might describe what happened to this man as a deathbed conversion. And this gives a measure of hope to those who maybe have given up on certain people who have no need for God—or at least think they have no need for God. Don't stop praying for them. Because I have heard glorious stories of people coming to Christ right before their deaths. My own mother did not really come to Christ until about a month before she went to heaven, and I had prayed for her throughout my life as a Christian. Maybe you feel right now that someone you know never will come around. But they may.

Or sometimes we fear that certain people who have died are in hell right now. But we are not in a position to say who is in hell. I do think I can authoritatively say who is in heaven, because if a person has put his or her faith in Christ, the Bible assures us that this person is in heaven. But unless you were with someone when they passed into eternity, you don't know what happened. It is possible that someone you shared the gospel with, someone you told about Jesus, perhaps put their faith in Christ in the last few moments of their life. And you might be surprised to see them in glory some day.

I think there will be some surprises when we get to heaven. So don't give up on the people you are praying for.

Is Anything Too Hard For God?

Is Anything Too Hard For God?

Jeremiah 32:27
27“Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?

Do you have a problem believing that the moment a sinner receives Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, he is saved? I believe that you will say, “No.”

Let me then ask you which is harder for God (though in reality, we know that nothing is hard for God): To save a soul from hell or heal a sick body? Of course, it is “harder” to save a soul from hell because God had to send His Son to the cross.

So if God has already given you the greatest miracle that you can ever receive, which is to pluck you out of the clutches of eternal damnation and give you eternal life, what is healing your body, saving your marriage, turning your rebellious teenage son around or giving you that business deal to Him?

Therefore, don’t think that when you come to God with a headache, He says, “No problem,” but should you come to Him with cancer, He says, “Cancer? Wow! Not that easy. This is more problematic. I will need more power!”

No! It may appear more difficult to us, but with God, nothing is too hard for Him because He says, “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?”

This was indeed the case for a church member who was suffering from ovarian cancer. After I had prayed for her, I told her, “This cancer is not a problem for God. Just believe that when God said that nothing is too hard for Him, it is so!” In a matter of weeks, she came back with tears in her eyes, testifying that she went back to the doctor and he pronounced her healed after he could find no traces of cancer in her.

Beloved, if it is a miracle you need, it is a miracle you will get. God has already given you the greatest miracle of eternal life, so why would He not give you all the other lesser miracles?
