Matthew 6:33(NIV)
"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."

As we start to plan our time and see our life in particular places doing particular things, wearing particular clothes, driving a particular car, living in a particular house not so we can be better than somebody else but we can literally be saying that it is impossible to out give God. That it is impossible to out give God when you're giving to God, knowing that God's nature is to give. You give Him a little and He will give you much. You give your life to Him genuinely and you get a hunger for Him not a hunger for prosperity, not a hunger for divine health, not a hunger just for peace but a hunger for God, but seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

I had a man walk into my office whose marriage and life had gone to pieces. He asked me, "Pastor would you help me with my life"? If he would have come in and asked me to help him with his marriage, help him with his finances, help him with his reputation I would have said, "Look why don't you go up to the church and let God work in your life". But in my heart I would know that he was headed or the reef of grief. There was going to come a loss. I'll never forget the look on this man's face when he looked at me. When his life was a wreck and he had lost everything, he just said to me. "Pastor would you help me get back to the Lord, would you just help me get back to Jesus". Right at that point, I knew that it would only be a short time before everything that he had lost would be given back to him and it was, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness."
