The duties of disciples

Matthew 6:33 "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

            It should be the supreme purpose of everyone to seek the kingdom of God. We study the next through five questions:-

1.      What is to be done?

 “Seek” Put your heart into this enterprise. Seek earnestly, diligently, enthusiastically, steadily, with your whole life, hands, head and heart.

2.      Who is to seek?

“Ye” all who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. All who name the name of Christ? All who are members of his church and all who have a desire to do his way and will? All who have had an experience of grace and possess a new heart, a new purpose, a new hope, a new outlook, and a new Master. “Seek you”.

3.      When shall we seek?

“First” in time, in aim, in activity.

4.      What shall we seek?

 His kingdom and his righteousness. Seek to the right in every relation of life, in relation to God, to Christ, to the church, to all Christians, to all sinners.

5.      Why should we seek?

Because when we attain righteousness and seek the kingdom, all lesser blessings will be added unto us. When we seek the kingdom and righteousness of the Lord, He will see that we have all necessary food, clothing, and raiment. It is promise of the Lord.
