TOPIC: What Do You Seek?

MEMORISE: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33

READ: Ecclesiastes 5:10-12

He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.
When goods increase, they are increas I’ll run inside the trust that I m I trust him or remote to sell my my money backed that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?
The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 112-115, 1 Corinthians 1:1-31

MESSAGE:

When Elijah approached Elisha to be his servant, Elisha then was a vibrant youth. He left all, severed all links with his past and followed his master. Though Elisha inherited riches from his father, he preferred to serve God fervently to the point that after his death, his bones raised the dead. Beloved, if your parents are wealthy, congratulations but if you have Jesus, double congratulations. Whoever has Christ, has everything including wealth because according to our memory verse for today, if you seek the kingdom of God, every other thing including success, greatness, wealth, et cetera will be yours. So, serve God while you are young with the whole of your might, talent, gifts and resources like Elisha instead of thinking of how to get the latest phone or a trending outfit.

God’s word cannot change. God will never lie about His promises. Seek the Lord and every other thing shall be yours henceforth.

KEY POINT: What you seek today will determine your place tomorrow.

HYMN: I CAN HEAR MY SAVIOUR CALLING

I can hear my Savior calling,
I can hear my Savior calling,
I can hear my Savior calling,
“Take thy cross and follow, follow Me.

Chorus:
Where He leads me I will follow,
Where He leads me I will follow,
Where He leads me I will follow,
I’ll go with Him, with Him all the way.

I’ll go with Him through the garden,
I’ll go with Him through the garden,
I’ll go with Him through the garden,
I’ll go with Him, with Him all the way.

I’ll go with Him through the judgment,
I’ll go with Him through the judgment,
I’ll go with Him through the judgment,
I’ll go with Him, with Him all the way.

He will give me grace and glory,
He will give me grace and glory,
He will give me grace and glory,
And go with me, with me all the way.
