Seek Him more....!

I Chronicles 16:10-11 NKJV

Glory in His holy name; Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord ! Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face evermore!

Shalom! Day #176. Do you know that your first priority as a believer is to seek the Lord first? Let's pray. Father, create in us a heart that would continually seek You first in every events of our lives. Forgive us for not making You as our first priority. Teach us Lord, give us wisdom and understanding as we seek You more and more. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Jesus said in Matthew 6:33 NKJV But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Why do you need to seek the Lord? Why there's a necessity to seek the Lord? Unbelievers need to seek God because sin separates them from God,  they will be exposed to he wrath of God,  they will continue to misunderstand Scriptures. Believers should seek the Lord because He wants to conform us into the likeness of His Son. Before we do anything, or even make any decisions pertaining to our life, family and ministry, we must inquire God first.  We must seek the Lord's counsel first. Because,  wise decision is made when the Lord is the one who directs our path.

We must seek God...

"A. With All Our Hearts (Jer. 29:10). God must be our priority if we want to know Him intimately. This means we must confess our sins and submit to His will (Isa. 55:6-7). Nothing should take precedence over to the treasure we have in Christ.

B. Diligently (Prov. 8:17). A true desire to know God means we put all other things aside and aren’t distracted.

C. Continually (Ps. 105:4). Nothing is too insignificant to be lifted to God in prayer. We must seek His mind about decisions and plans in our lives.

D. Confidently (Heb. 11:6). God wants to speak to all believers and work in their lives. Know that the Father will provide His best at the right time.

E. Humbly (Ps. 10:4). The only assurance we have in life is Jesus. Failing to recognize our dependence on Him can make us arrogant and deserving of reprimand."

(Excerpts from intouch.org)

Seek the Lord with a rejoiced heart. Seek the Lord's face so that His glory shall shine upon you. Many people like to seek the hands of God because from there comes blessings but they failed to seek His face, His heart beat. God wants an intimate relationship with us and that's the very reason we must seek the Lord. Only God knows everything about our lives, therefore we must seek Him daily,  seek His more to get the answers for the mystery of our lives. Are we seeking God today? This is a call for this generation to turn back to God and begin to seek Him wholeheartedly, diligently, continually, confidently and humbly.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
