SETTING PRIORITIES IN THE KINGDOM.
THIS IS WHAT THE KINGDOM EXPECTS FROM YOU.
So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. (John 13:12-17, KJV)
For far too long we have been preoccupied with having a life; making something meaningful out of life. We relegate more important things to the back and place before ourselves temporary things, things that could never satisfy. Why is humanity bent on chasing shadows?
Mat 6:31- 33 Jesus teaches saying'
*Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
This is comforting. Jesus is asking the people, why do you toil as though you are orphans? Why do you toil as though God couldn't care less about your wellbeing? You hear believers, say such things like, "I have no-one to help me" Really!
How could the one carrying the Spirit of the Lord, and walking with Him daily say such a thing?
This life is spiritual. It is more than meat, clothing, houses, and other toys. Life is much more than these fleeting things. The more important thing according to the Master is to put the things of God first. Before thinking about your need, put the kingdom first because your needs can only be met inside the kingdom that you're told to seek after.
Before upgrading your car, put the kingdom first. We make time for things we care about. It is up to you to prioritize the things of our Heavenly kingdom. Look around your neighborhood, find a need and without making noise or making such a fuss, reach out and meet that need that a brother have, that's God using you in the kingdom to supply other peoples need, and that's also how grace will continue speaking on your own needs.
If it is beyond your singular faith, find others who are like-minded, work together to meet that need of others.
Live a worry free life; by putting God first at all times.
But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak. For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. (Heb 6:9-10, KJV).

Thanks to @gbenga and @jodipamungkas for this wonderful badge.
Thank you for reading
Wow! What a lovely message. I so much love the bible verses. Truly if we serve God with our whole heart and do his will, we shall never lack a thing.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful message with us @maxdevalue
Yes, the finished products that the Lord has for his children are his righteousness, his peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost, these three things doesn't come from the things of this world. Therefore, lack of fiscal and material things of this world should not affect our righteousness, peace, and joy except if we're still babes in need of spiritual milk.
We do not serve God so that we don't lack things, we serve the lord because that's the whole duty of man.
Lack can come our ways at some point but the grace to go through shall be made available by God in those times.
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; (Eccl 3:1 and6, KJV).

Bless you, I agree with you, Adam was created not until God had put everything he will ever needed in place, since we are predestinated by Him who justified and glorify the chosen from all who are called, man must know that he has a higher calling than to be preoccupy his life with what will not last. Man must Reciprocate the Love of His Maker by always looking for avenue to give back to the society which in return His Maker will reward him greatly.
Good comment dear @matetepaps, you nailed it! Hope to always have you around.
