Seek God's Kingdom And He Will Solve Your Problems

Romans 14:17
17For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

As a loving parent, you may be concerned about your rebellious teenager. You see him as your problem, so you try your best to discipline him, only to end up with a heart full of worries and pain. And yet your teenager is no better!

God says to you, “Don’t focus on trying to control your rebellious teenager. Instead, seek first My kingdom, which is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Be conscious of the righteousness you have as a gift from My Son. Keep your inner man flowing with My peace and joy. And I will take care of your rebellious teenager.”

We tend to think that the people around us are the problem. When we don’t get the promotion we want, we blame our bosses and colleagues. When we lose our temper, we blame our wives and kids. However, God wants us to stop looking outside and to start looking within because His kingdom is within us. (Luke 17:21)

You see, the abundance of the kingdom of God is already inside you. Whatever you need is already inside you. And as you seek first God’s kingdom, and follow His righteousness, peace and joy, the abundance within you will flow out and become a reality outside you. (Matthew 6:33) You will find that God has not only taken care of what is troubling you, but has also added blessings to you, be it a promotion, good kids or a loving wife.

“But Pastor Prince, how do I keep my inner man flowing with righteousness, peace and joy?”

Be conscious of your righteousness in Christ. Don’t be conscious of your sins and problems. Listen to anointed teaching and preaching that remind you of how righteous you are because of the perfect sacrifice of Christ. Peace and joy flows when you know that all your sins have been forgiven because of Jesus’ finished work.

So the next time something troubles you, don’t focus on trying to correct the trouble. Instead, seek first God’s kingdom and His righteousness. Make it a priority to have your inner man flowing with His peace and joy. And before you know it, God will have taken care of that trouble for you!
