What to Do First
Matthew 6:31-33 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Among all creation, only man, who is a spiritual being, can be saved. Knowing the spiritual world can give you great spiritual strength. As a person who possesses the Gospel, you must first find the spiritual strength inside the Gospel. If you study and do your work enjoying this strength, the answers of overcoming the world and saving many people will follow. This is called the one-thousand-year answer. What is the mystery of receiving this one-thousand-year answer?
1. When You Restore the Prayer That God Desires Inside the Gospel
You must change the wrong prayers that you have been praying until now and restore the prayers that God desires. This is the way to open the doors for the one-thousand-year answer. This is why Jesus directly taught you how to pray. (Matthew 6:9-13) You must pray for God’s name to be made holy, His Kingdom to come wherever you go, and His will to be fulfilled. You must also forgive your brothers and sisters in the same way you have been forgiven, and glorify God the Father who leads you away from temptation and delivers you from the evil one.
2. When You Seek His Kingdom First
The words “Seek first God’s Kingdom” saves you from the invisible world of darkness, world of Satan, and brings about the establishment of God’s Kingdom wherever you are. As a result, you do not need to ask for anything because He will add all things to you. If you wait just a little, God’s Kingdom will come upon you. Wherever the 7 Remnants from the Bible (Joseph, Moses, Samuel, David, Elisha, Isaiah, and Paul) went, God’s Kingdom was established. The one-thousand-year answer followed them.
3. When You Seek His Righteousness First
“His righteousness” means opening your eyes for the Gospel, evangelism, and missions. If you seek evangelism, missions, God’s Kingdom, and His righteousness in your field first, most certainly the one-thousand-year answer will follow. It’s okay even if you cannot do it because God already knows. He already knew that Ezekiel did not have strength. However, what God regarded as the most important were Ezekiel’s faith, heart, and spiritual eyes. You, too, can seek these out.
[Prayer of the Evangelist] Dear God, I thank you for always answering my prayers. May I first enjoy the strength that is in the Gospel to overcome the world and save people.
