Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Principle # 1: The Kingdom of God resides and abides on the inside of you – You do not have to seek for something outside of yourself when that something is on the inside of yourself.
Lifetime employees better known as “Job Seekers” seek for opportunities without discovering the vision God has for their lives. This is the cause of the steady and increasing rate of unemployment in our society. If you are seeking out jobs that don’t help you fulfill God’s purpose for your life then these positions will be temporary at best. We are not to be in a state of being permanently temporary or what some of us know as a “Permanent Temp.” Lifetime employees are “Hunters” that search for opportunities to feed themselves and their families. They are consumed by effort and time invested in seeking the opportunity to work for an organization whose vision is outside of the one that God placed on the inside of them. The hunger is satisfied for a time, but it is never fulfilled.
Tend to Your Garden – The Kingdom of God must cultivate its fruit. We are “Meat” eaters, however it is meant for us to consume the meatier things of the kingdom to produce fruit. Kingdom people are “Gardeners”, those who have refined their skill and talent to be sown into future generations. They are submitted to the vision of an organization that helps them fulfill the vision that God has for their lives.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
