“The great business which the
disciple of the Lord Jesus has to be concerned about is to seek the kingdom of
God. I believe this means to seek the external and internal prosperity of the
Church. If we seek to win souls for the Lord Jesus, we are seeking the external
prosperity of the Kingdom of God. If we help our fellow members in the body
grow in grace and truth or care for them in any way, we are seeking the
internal prosperity of God. In connection with this, we also have to seek His
righteousness. This means to seek to be more and more like God-to seek to be
inwardly conformed to the mind of God. If these two things are attended to
diligently, we come to that precious promise: ‘And all these things [that is
food, clothing or anything else you need for this present life] shall be added
unto you.’ Do you make it your primary business and your first great concern to
seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness? Remember that the world will
pass away, but the things of God will endure forever.” – George Muller
QUOTES ON TOP
“I want something really worthwhile to live for. I want to invest this one life of mine as wisely as possible, in the place that yields the richest profits to the world and me…wherever it is, I want it to be God’s choice for me and not my own… Christ said, “He that would find his life shall lose it” and proved the truth of this divine paradox at Calvary. I want Him to lead me and His Holy Spirit to fill me.” – Betty Stam
