Seven practical steps that will help you [cultivate a lifestyle] of seeking [first] the kingdom of God and His righteousness. I like to call Matthew 6:33,

"The Principle of Priority".

(Part 3)

(6) INVITE them to follow you and the Lord you serve: Never be ashamed to lead someone to Jesus. God used someone to lead you to Him. With courage INVITE them to turn to Jesus and entrust themselves to Him and His commitment to fulfill what He's promised. Their unbelief will be manifested when they factor (consider) their own limitations into God's solution. (Don't be moved off course by their rebellion and rejections.) The same applies to you. To have an effective invitation you must be fully persuaded yourself. If you want them to follow you, you must believe in what your inviting them to believe. If you live a lifestyle that constantly CONSIDERS your present CONDITION, as opposed to being CAPTURED by God's COMMITMENT, your INVITE will not be effective. On the other hand, if you're CAPTIVATED by the PERSON of Jesus Christ, and His PROMISES, He'll use you to PERSUADE others as you INVITE them to follow you and your LORD!

(7) INDULGE yourself in that which is worthy of God's blessings:
Think and meditate on those things which are true, honest, noble, praise worthy, and of a good report. Feed your mind on God's Word, and feast upon His INTIMATE fellowship, and you'll always be a vessel that He can and will display His grace through. He wants you to be consumed with Himself, His Word, His people, and His work. It is to be your life not part of your life but your life. (Acts 5:20) INDULGE in the things of God.
These seven practical steps will help you cultivate a life that seeks first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.

"The Lord God hath given Me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: He wakenth morning by morning, He wakenth Mine ear to hear as the learned. The Lord God hath opened Mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back." (Isaiah 50:4-5)

Taking it serious!

a. Who is the last person you invited to (1) embrace the Lord you serve, and (2)the truth you're walking in?

b. When was the last time you purposely went to encourage someone with a life altering word that you received from the Lord?

c. Do those who know you best describe you as a disciple-maker/fisher of men?

d. What is your favorite thing to meditate upon?

e. What is most important to you?

Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee.

Psalm 119:155 Salvation (deliverance) is far from the wicked: for they seek not Thy statutes.

Think about it!

What we seek first, day in and day out, is what we treasure. What we treasure is what we TRUST!

TREASURE the Lord, and allow Him to cultivate in you a lifestyle that seeks first the King and His ways, and He'll be delighted to use you to display His glory.

It's the Principle of Priority!
