Seeking the Lord Jesus : Your Needs are Added to You.

Text:Matthew 6:33, Proverbs 8:17,33. Abraham,Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Lord Jesus Christ, Apostles, Disciples of Christ, and men of God who have triumphed in contrary times had one thing in common: Seeking the face of Jesus Christ in prayers, meditation and fellowship. The Lord Jesus Christ came to restore the broken fellowship between God and men(1 Timothy 2:5). He is the mediator of the Old and New covenant(Hebrews 8:6), for God is One God,both of the Jews and also of the Gentiles(Romans 3:29).He connects those who believe in God, all over the world to the Abraham's blessing as the heir of the world. During their sojourn to the promised land,anytime the Jews cried for help, for food, water, healing or protection, God sent them to Jesus to meet their needs(Jesus was represented as The Rock, The Manna from heaven, the brass serpent on the Pole for healing, The Captain of the Lord's hosts,The Tree that made the bitter water sweet, The Name of the Lord that slay Goliath, The Blood of the Lamb, The Word of God etc). God, Almighty delights in His Son, Jesus Christ daily(Proverbs 8:30,Matthew 3:17, Collossians 1 :13) and the Lord Jesus delights is in the son of men(Proverbs 8:31). So when we seek Jesus, we are seeking God, Almighty, Alleluia.He is our faithful High Priest, Mediator, Advocate, Intercessor, Surety, The Way, Our Head representing us His Body before the Almighty God at God's Right Hand of Power and Majesty, Alleluia. He is the Body with God , and also God with the Body and in the Body(Immanuel). He is Lord of lords, King of kings.All we need and shall ever need are all in Him and with Him;power, riches, wisdom, strength, glory, honor and blessing(Revelation 5:12) Communication is the greatest asset in love. The best of God is reserved for His lovers.(1 Corinthians 2:9). Seeking God early in the morning is the secret to the believer's triumph in life. (Psalm 27:8, 63:1, Isaiah 26:9) . We are not sufficient in ourselves to pray, to think anything or to do anything (2 Corinthians 3:5, Romans 8:26,4:5, Philippians 2:13).Our sufficiency is of God. As we seek God early we will never lack ,because we will be lightened and shame will end in our lives(Psalm 34:5),durable riches and honor will be given to us(Proverbs 8:17). The believer should not seek great things but rather seek the great God and the great Savior, Jesus Christ(Matthew 6:33).God is our exceeding great reward and our only and great need.(Genesis 15:2).All we need is found in Jesus Christ, because in Him consist all things(Colossians 1:17, Phillippians 4:19). Do not focus on achievement, but focus on the Lord Jesus Christ and He will use you to do what He pleases on this earth that belongs to Him. Instead of laboring and seeking for ways out of any challenge, seek the Lord Jesus Christ because He is the way out every wilderness or challenge. He has the solution and is the solution Provider. He knew right before hand that you will be faced with the challenge, and has made a provision for a way of escape. (Acts 4:27-29, 1 Corinthians 10:13, 2:9-10). When you seek Him, He will give you rest (Matthew 11:28).Abundant rest means abundant faith you need for triumph in life. They that believe have entered into their rest (Hebrews 4:3), and Jesus is the Source and the Finisher (who perfects and matures-Hebrews 12:2) of our faith as we seek Him. Faith is our victory over the wickedness in the world and quenches the fiery darts of the devil (1 John 5:4, Ephesians 6:16). As we seek Him He will give us desires and what to pray for(Psalm 37:4). As long as King Uzziah sought the Lord, He made him to prosper(2 Chronicle 26:5) The next blog will teach us how to seek the Lord in a practical way. God bless you
