Seek first the Kingdom of God

“Rebekah didn’t go to the well to get a husband.” A prominent preacher of the gospel: Apostle Grace Lubega, said amidst a sermon, and like that, I zoned out as God continue to speak to me.

I once blogged about wells in 2019, here’s a link to what that post said: https://biggiesbigblogs.wordpress.com/2019/10/16/at-the-well-destinies-change/

God made me continue to think about the scripture that says ‘Seek first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.’

Rebekah’s going to the well represents this ‘seeking’. She was simply going to the well as business usual. From that blog, you notice that the women came to the well at a particular hour, so we can’t claim that Rebekah had received a visitation from an angel telling her to go quick to the well, for a plug to her husband was descending any moment soon!

No!

It was, like I said, business as usual. We being Rebekah to the well today could be that reading of the Bible or that waking up to pray at an uncomfortable hour when our heads still spin and drag over the heaviness of sleep. The miracle therein is; as we seek first His kingdom — even in that slumber struggle — then a particular thing shall be added unto us.

If the well represents God in Rebekah’s story, notice that ‘all things’ were added to her through Isaac. Eliezer he gave a drink, and that was for sign, that she’d be wife as Abraham, Eliezer’s master had prayed and prophesied.

Perhaps Rebekah’s friends — a few — had been married off, and she was feeling late. Perhaps she wasn’t that attractive, but when she was swooped off, the other proud girls were filled with contempt. The matter was somewhat a surprise, teaching us that God has awesome packages in store for us! But none will come to us if they in themselves are what we seek God for. The condition is that God has to be sought first — as He is — and not the actual objects in themselves; and then, only then, can ALL things be added.

The ecstasy of the line still makes me jump: Rebekah didn’t go to the well to get a husband.

But one day, a husband she came back with. But not only a husband. Isaac was the son of Abraham. Abraham had been named possessor of heaven and earth by Melchizedek in Genesis 14:19. Rightfully, all the earth yielded to him in one way or another. Rebekah was going to have that for a father-in-law! She was going to be co-heir to all that wealth. And not only that; she was going to be one of Jesus’ great grandmothers. And we still talk about her today after all these years.

Can you comprehend the ‘all things’ she enjoyed?

God has the same in store for you! Even greater than that. Just don’t grow weary in seeking Him. Don’t grow weary!

He’s a rewarder of all those that seek Him diligently. Not those that seek Him once in a while, or last — after their plan As have failed!

Don’t grow weary chasing after His heart.

Don’t

Grow

Weary!

Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
