Day 153: WALKING IN KINGDOM RIGHTEOUSNESS
Scripture
Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
DAILY WISDOM
Seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness must be the believer’s highest priority. It is the foundation upon which every blessing is built. When we set our hearts on God’s Kingdom, everything else in life—provision, peace, progress—falls into place under His divine order.
MESSAGE
The teaching offered by Jesus in Matthew 6:33 is not only a suggestion but a heavenly plan for living a triumphant, full life. To “seek first the kingdom of God” is to value God’s sovereign sovereignty and His spiritual precepts above all else in life. This quest entails intentionality: a conscious, everyday choice to live by Kingdom ideals and connect every decision with God’s plan.
When the Bible states “and his righteousness,” it stresses that the Kingdom is inseparable from righteousness—God’s ideal standard of holiness and fairness. Kingdom holiness is not an onerous norm to obey but a lifestyle enabled by the Holy Spirit. It is righteousness that gives favor, protection, and elevation in God’s economy.
The promise that “all these things shall be added unto you” reveals the divine order: When we prioritize the Kingdom and justice, God supernaturally provides for every need—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. This supply is a natural result of Kingdom lifestyle.
However, many believers overlook this benefit because their concentration is split, sometimes sidetracked by anxieties about worldly wants or earthly success. Jesus taught that the path to overcome such fears is a Kingdom-centered life, where God’s righteousness becomes our aim, and the Spirit directs our way.
When you put the Kingdom first, you activate God’s miraculous provision and favor. You go into a domain where heavenly principles outweigh natural constraints, where rewards are not simply hoped for but promised by faith and obedience.
