Faith results in you seeing far beyond what you could otherwise see. Faithfulness results in you going far above and beyond what you thought you could do. That is the kingdom of God at work.

Speaking to those who are faithful, you may be doing better than you may think. The blessing of God is directly attached to the rule of God. Refuse the rule and you refuse the blessing.

Jesus was told that His mother and brothers were standing outside wanting to speak to Him. He responded with, "Who are My mother and brothers?" Then He pointed to His disciples and said, "Behold my mother and brothers." His family was defined themselves by their obedience to the Father.

Jesus told us to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, then everything...everything...all things...will be added. So why is there still need? Why is everything else not added?

Brian Higbee explores this and a bit more. Check it out.
