MFM Daily Devotional 4 June 2024
TOPIC: Seek God First
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 30; Job 31; Job 32; Acts 12; Acts 13
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Matthew 6:21-33
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
MEMORY VERSE
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew 6:33

MFM Daily Devotional 4 June 2024 MESSAGE
Your divine priority, as a child of God and someone that wants to spend eternity in God’s presence, should be to seek God first and His kingdom. In the School of Success, any man or woman who desires to live a successful life here on earth and make heaven at last must do everything to achieve this.
In Ecclesiastes 12:1 and Proverbs 1:8-9, the Bible advises that it is best to seek God in one’s youthful days before the days of evil and to follow helpful divine instructions To further buttress this, the book of Proverbs starts by giving helpful instructions. Do you want to succeed in life? Do you want to be a winner in the battlefield of life? You must start by seeking God and finding Him. Living without Jesus will not only bring chaos but also means living like a blind and a fool who is limited in understanding and cannot see beyond himself or herself. This is a tragedy, beloved!
READ DCLM Daily Manna Monday 3 June 2024 – Faithfulness in Little Things
Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, is the Only One that can show you the way and give you power to become what His Father has created you to become. Without the Way, you cannot know the way of life and succeed in life. Our human knowledge and ability are limited, but God, who is the embodiment of wisdom, has the key to unlock the storeroom of divine knowledge and understanding. Hence, when you seek Him, you shall find Him and He shall lead you (Psalm 32:8).
Considering the above, therefore, you need to seek God and find Jesus; seek more knowledge about God’s kingdom, and the other things of life shall be added to you. Read the word of God to discover more of God. Endeavour to live according to divine principles, pray that the Holy Spirit will reveal more of the Father and the Son to you. With this revelation and a deep relationship with the Trinity you are sure to be successful on earth and to make heaven at the end of your earthly journey, in Jesus’ name.
