Many people are in trouble in this life. Among these people are also Christians. the people of God! And so you see such people running about, from place to place, from church to church, from hospital to hospital seeking “solutions” to their problems. They go from one deliverance center to another, from one man of God to another-seeking miracles, blessings, deliverance, breakthroughs. ‘solutions
This is the issue that is affecting a great number of Christians today. Almost everyone is seeking ‘deliverance' from one thing or another. Yet these solutions refuse to come! These blessings breakthroughs fail to come. Those ‘deliverances‘ don't seem to work. as every one still carries their problems about.

Many have done “covenant breaking“ and “land liberation" again and again. yet nothing seems to be working. They have gone for. counselling upon counselling. and nothing seems to come out of that. Now they are confused, tired dejected and have no idea what else they should do. Many believers are in this category. Many are right now in this situation.

And so one might ask. what is wrong? Why are things not working in the lives of God’s children any more? Why are things no longer working for God’s people? We have done all we know about prayers and deliverance, yet nothing is working! Like Jeremiah one might now ask;

The New International Version puts it this way; “why. then is there no healing for the wound of my people?"

Yes. this is the question that is being asked in the hearts and minds of many pastors and leaders of the church as they watch their people their congregations pine away under heavy yokes of the oppressions of the evil one

We Are Seeking The Wrong Things

Here is the mystery. There is still balm in Gilead there is still deliverance power in Christ. There is still peace, joy. progress and fulfillment in Him. But here is the trouble -weareseeking the wrong things.

God has never called us to seek blessings! He has never called us to seek breakthroughs. He never am asked us to seek “deliverance" the may we are doing it today What He has said to us

Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you (Matthew 6:33)

He has told us what we are to seek;
(1) His kingdom
(2) His righteousness

But we have been going about seeking other things instead of to seek His kingdom and His righteousness simply means we should seek to become like Jesus in character, in obedience, in faith. We should seek to become the image of Christ. We should seek Christ-likeness. For only in Christ-likeness do we have both His kingdom life and His righteousness.

What did He say next? He said all these things (all other things) shall be added unto us. All other things here refer to success, breakthrough, deliverance, peace, joy, progress and all other things we desire in this life. All other things include marriage. fruits of the womb, money, good job, good business, housing, education, promotion, health, blessings! These things are not bad. In fact God wants us to have them but He never said we should seek them. He said we should seek Him God and when we find Him and have Him. then He would add these things to us. Don‘t seek them, God would add them.
