THE LAW OF THE FIRST THING FIRST

UNLOCKING THE KINGDOM OF GOD IN YOU

 

Part 1: The Law of The First Thing First

What is a law?

Law is a rule made by a government that is used to order the way in which people behaves. Law can also be defined as a governing principle, a key to accepted ways of actions that helps people achieved desired goals in life.

obeying such laws or operating by such governing principles is usually seen as doing right, while the breaking or disobedience of such laws is seen as doing wrong and sometimes attracts certain penalties or punishment. e.g. Adam and Eve. Our obedience to the law brings about freedom, peace, progress, and advancement in our lives, while disobedience brings about captivity, troubled mind, retrogression, and death in our lives as well.

every government or company operates by laws; any government or company without an established laws and principles for the people cannot be successful. The Kingdom of God is no different, just like any other government; there are laws and principles of God’s kingdom government. for example the law of sowing and reaping, or seed time and harvest time – Genesis 8: 22

There is so much to benefit from the government of the kingdom of heaven…such as total security, preservation, protection, guidance, provision, peace, joy and prosperity…these and many more awaits those who will embrace the kingdom living…a life based on the principles and laws of the kingdom of heaven…a higher kind of life. There is something within you that is greater than any problem outside you…it’s called “the kingdom of god.” Luke 17: 21

Most nations, families, people and society are being faced with so many challenges such as insecurity, terrorism, corruption, economic hardships, food shortages, sickness and diseases etc.

Many are getting frustrated, confused, and distressed without knowing where to turn for solution. Everything happening in our nation today is as a result failure on the side of human government…no human government, political party to solve the problem facing us as a nation and as a people. If we are going to find solution, then we need seek for an alternative government…a government can provide security for the people. Only one government is capable of doing that…it is the government of the kingdom of god on earth in the hearts of men.

The bible describes a power available to and within each of us as believers that is greater and powerful than any challenge or difficulty we will face in this life…the kingdom of god is an unchanging, undefeated, and ever stable kingdom in all generations.

You don’t work to get things in a kingdom…the kingdom shifts things to you as you line up your life with the kingdom principles and laws…Matt. 6: 31-33

Most people who don’t know jesus are completely preoccupied with the pursuit of happiness and getting their daily needs met…they are only concerned about what to eat, what to drink, what to put on, where to live, who to marry, how to make enough money to retire…etc

But as kingdom people, we are not suppose to live this way…it is worldly way of life and it does not please the king of our life. In order to please the king, we suppose to make ‘seeking the kingdom of god our primary goal’, then the king will become responsible to provide everything we need including our spiritual, physical, emotional, relational, and financial needs.

To seek the king, his kingdom and his righteousness means…to pattern our lives in line with his principles and laws in every area of our lives.

This is an awesome concept. First of all it drastically simplifies life. We just need to make the main thing the main thing. Jesus understood this principle. Even as a young child, when he was only 12 years old, Jesus recognized that he was supposed to “be about his Father’s business” (Luke 2:49) He knew that seeking the Kingdom was to be his first priority. He knew that as he attended to His Father’s business, His Father would attend to his. Really it’s no different than going to work for a secular company. If you are on company business, the company pays for everything – meals, transportation costs, a place to stay, etc. They also pay you a salary so that you’ll have everything else you need to continue to successfully do your job. So why is it so hard for us to believe that if we make our job “the Father’s Business” that he’ll provide everything we need to get the job done?

Remember, when we make seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness our main focus, God will supernaturally provide for your needs. So, make manifesting his Kingdom your number one priority and find out what it is that he is calling you to do. Then set you heart to obey and finish whatever it is that he asks of you. Recognize that while it won’t always be easy, as long as you continue to be lead by the Spirit and rely on the Lord for the revelation that you need to complete your assignment, you will succeed. There’s no better way to live or stay supernaturally connected to the blessings of God.
