Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God
Backgrounder: Karen Lafferty:
I was raised in a Christian home,
but like many young people
I wanted to discover life and did
some drifting. I was working as
a nightclub entertainer in New
Orleans when a friend visited me
& got me back on the right track.
After that I began to write Christian
songs. It was back in 1971. I had
quit my entertainment job and
was trying to support myself with
teaching guitar lessons to three
students! When my savings were
all gone and I had no money to
make my car payments, I became
very discouraged and confused.
One evening I went to a Bible study
and we talked about Matthew 6:33.
I was tremendously encouraged
and challenged by the words.
So I went home, wrote the tune,
recorded it on a tape recorder.
I taught the song at church the next
week and it caught on right away.
Lord, we’ll Seek Yr Kingdom First:
Therefore do not worry…For after
all these things the Gentiles seek.
For your Heavenly Father knows
that you need all these things.
But seek first the kingdom of God
and his righteousness, and
all these things will be added
to you (Matthew 6:31-33).
Dear Lord, complete consecration
is not easy. While we love You, it’s
not easy to give up things of this
world when U call us to serve. So,
Help us to genuinely Seek first the
kingdom of God by Surrendering
all that is required to be yielded.
Help us seek You First that God is
the Priority of all things in our life.
Help us to Relinquish our selfish
worldly ambitions to You today.
Help us that we may give our all
to God and Live by Him always.
Help us to Commit daily to give
You our all & take U at Your Word.
Lord, U know & care for our needs.
And U desire your children to ASK.
Help us to Ask so that we be given,
Seek so that we we shall find,
Knock and the door be open to us.
Help us to start each day Seeking
God and You will direct our path
every step throughout the day.
Help us to have Faith that U will fulfill Your promises in our lives &
Help us Put You Above all else!!
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God,
And His righteousness,
And all these things, shall be
added onto you,
Alleu, alleuia.
Man shall not live by bread alone,
But by every word,
That proceeds from the
mouth of God
Alleu, Alleuia.
Ask and it shall be given unto you,
Seek and ye shall find.
Knock and the door shall be
opened onto you.
Alleu, Alleuia.
