Scriptures:

  • But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.Matthew 6:33 (NIV)

 

  • “Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: 19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 20 The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. 22 The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. 23 But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”Matthew 13:18-23 (NIV)

 

  • Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.Matthew 23:13 (NIV)

 

  • I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.John 10:9 (NKJV)

 

  • For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.Matthew 5:20 (NIV)

 

  • Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.John 14:23 (NIV)

 

  • Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
        for they will be filled.Matthew 5:6 (NIV)

 

  • “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”Matthew 7:24-27 (NIV)

 

Hold Yourself Accountable:

  • Seek to gain an understanding of God’s Kingdom for yourself!

 

Apply the Kingdom Principle:

  • But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
