Seek ye first the kingdom of GOD and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you "We should not seek spiritual things first and material things will come to us, as we work honestly for them. Many people seek material things and think they can grow into knowledge of spiritual things. You cannot serve GOD and Mammon at the same time. The first requisites of an abundant life are the spiritual things, honestly, purity, unselfishness, and love. Until you have these qualities , quantities of material things are of little real use to you.
I pray that I may put much effort into acquiring spiritual things. I pray that I may not expect good things until I am right spiritually.
