Title: seek 1st part 3 Scripture reading: Matthew 6:33 & 1 kings 3:3-15

Mumwe anogona kusvotwa kuti nhai everyday same story, tava paPart 3 yeSame mharidzo, vashaya here zvimwe zvirinani zvekuparidza. But look at that person movie chaiyo akanzwa kunzi yava nePart 2 anofara zvisingaite, akangonzwa kuti kwane final destination 6 anomhanya mhanya kuti aiwane but kana zvava zveShoko raMwari zvikanzi zvava nePart 3, zvinomubhowa, maSeason, maSeries anoita kutsvagwa ese but paangoona mharidzo ino yakanzi Part 3 abva aregedza kuyiverenga.  Ndipo paunonyatsoona kuti munhu akanyanya kubatwa neNyika more than naMwari. And ndiyo type yatiri kuda kuedza kubatsira kuti its more about GOD rather than the love of things of this world.

Nhasi ndinoda kufamba neNyaya yaSolomon the richest man in the Bible since iyo nyaya yePfuma iri very much connected to Matthew 6:33. I know kuti vazhinji vanoda mari they like to quote kuti ko inga wani Solomon was made rich by GOD, yes its very true kuti he was made rich by GOD but ndinoda kuti ubate nyaya yacho yese kwazvinotangira.

Panotangira scripture reading yedu pana 1 kings 3:3 panonzi And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father. zvaSolomon hazvina kungotangira pakupihwa pfuma naMwari but pakatanga love, Solomon loved The Lord. Chinotanga is love zvimwe zvozotera. But problem irikuitika is that mamwe maChristu they are not in love with GOD but they are in love with things. They do not love GOD for whom He is but they love GOD what HE has. Vamwe havadi Mwari nokuti ndiMwari but vanoda Mwari  nekuti vakanzwa kuti anopfumisa, anosimudza marombe kubva muhuruva, anopa mabasa akanaka, anokupa muchato etc.

 

How would you feel kuudzwa kuti murume/mukadzi wako or mukomana/musikana wako she/he is not in love with you but chaari kuda pauri are only benefits. Ari muRelationship newe kuti akudye mari or akwanise kurara newe. Its painful. How do you think GOD feels vachiDiscover kuti love yako pamusoro pavo ndeye Fake but you only want zvinhu kubva kwavari. Don’t love things more than GOD the owner of things, so o.k. zvinhu zvauri kuda ukasazviwana its now clear kuti kana kunamata kwacho uchabva waregedza. Prayer yako yeMuchato, mota kana imba ikaramba kuita zvatova pachena kuti uchaBackslider because you are not in love with GOD but you are in love with the things of GOD. Money or no money, Mwari ngavarumbidzwe, shoes or no shoes, ipa mbiri kuna Mwari. Be in love with GOD nekuti iye akakuda usati wava pano paNyika vakakupa Mwanakomana wavo Jesu.

 

Solomon akaenda kuGibeon kunopa sacrifice kuna Mwari, 1000 burnt offerings. He was willing kupesana nePfuma yake achizviitira Mwari. Are you able to do the same, kuti zvinhu zvawakashandira unoti Mwari torai henyu kana kuti you  actually want kuti Mwari vakupe zvinhu iwewe, and not the other way round. Chegumi chaicho haubvise, offering wakaomera, varombo haubatsire, but unongoda kuti Mwari vakuropafadze. One way traffic chete, Mwari ndiye anonzi tipei tipei zvinhu kuno, but kuti munhu ambofunge kuti regaiwo ndimborova sacrifice ndipe Mwari zvinomunetsa.

o.k. vamwe they can justify kuti ahh ivo Vafundisi vacho vatinopa mari they misuse the money vachitenga zvavanoda. But munhu iyeye ukada kuzvitarisa he/she does not even help varombo. O.k. kuChurch waramba kubvisa mari ko mapofu aunoona muTown vangani vaunobatsira, he justifies futi ah kwazara matsotsi mazuva ano vanonyepedzera kunge vanoshaya. But chokwadi ndechekuti ruoko rwako urwo rune plaster, you cant stretch it out to give, in short unonyima. Whether ngirozi chaiyo ikaburuka kudenga ichiti yauya kuzotora offering, you will always find an excuse.

But iye Solomon wacho waunoda kutedzera, he would sacrifice to The Lord, a 1000 burnt offerings. But inzwa unzwe yes unogona uri munhu anoSacrificer mari yake uchipa kuChurch, varombo uchipa, vanhu vaMwari uchipa but inzwa zvinozotaura 1 Samuel 15:22 Then Samuel said, ​​​​​​“Does the LORD take pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices ​​​​​​as much as he does in obedience? ​​​​​​Certainly, obedience is better than sacrifice; ​​​​​​paying attention is better than the fat of rams.

so unogona hako kupa maOfferings zvakanyanya but as long usingafambe mushoko raMwari then hazvishande. Mwari achiti usabe, but iwewe unoba and iyo mari iyoyo ndiyo yaunoda kuunza kuChurch. Mwari uchiti usaite upombwe but iyo mari yawapihwa neSugar daddy ndiyo yaunobvisa kuChurch seOffering. Hazvishande zvichidaro in the Kingdom of GOD, kuterera kunopfura chibayiro. Seek the Kingdom of GOD first and His righteousness.

Kuunza mari dzehukopo kopo kuChurch hakuna kururama. Ndipo paya paya pekuti tithe unobvisa, offering unobvisa, maProjects epaChurch unoFinancer but still life yako haizi kufamba, nekuda kwekuti source yemari dzauno unza kuChurch haiana kunaka. You are not seeking the Kingdom of GOD, nekuti  one of the principles of GOD’s Kingdom is obedience kuterera zvinodiwa naMwari more than kuunza mari.

 

Solomon achipedza kupa sacrifice yake haana kubva ati GOD please give me riches, Mwari ndinokumbira pfuma. He just made a sacrifice ndokubva aenda zvake without making any request. Nekuti He was in love with GOD. Kana uine true love nemunhu, you can give him/her anything and haumbomupe maConditions, but kana pasina love ndipo panouya maRequests. Paunopa Mwari something, are you doing so nekuti you love GOD, kana kuti une request yauri kuzoda kukanda. Paunopa Mwari offering urikuzviita nekuti unoda Mwari here kana kuti you expect Him to pay back nemota, imba, basa kana pfuma.
No one can buy GOD, neither can you bribe Him. So bvisa kaMentality kekuti kana ndichinge ndapa Mwari something He must pay back with something bigger than what I gave him. Giving yako must be out of love for GOD rather than the love of what GOD will give you in return of your sacrifice.

 

Mwari ndivo vakazoenda kuna Solomon is a dream vachibvunza Solomon kuti what shall I give you. Solomon ainge afamba mumaPrinciples aMwari zvekuti ivo Mwari vacho ndivo vanouya kwaari vachiti unoda kuti ndikupei rather than kuti iye Solomon wacho aende kunaMwari achikumbira zvinhu. maRequests ngaaite mashoma vanhu vaMwari, Mwari vagara vanoziva zvatinoda even tisati takumbira, lets spend nguva shoma pamaRequests but ngatiwanze time paPraise and worship. More kurumbidza Mwari nekuvatenda, than kukumbira zvinhu. Seek the Kingdom of GOD first and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. Mwari ndivo vakatoenda kunaSolomon kuti vamubvunze kuti unoda kuti ndikupe chii, ngatikure paMweya zvekuti Mwari ndivo vanopota vachiuya vachi Checker life yedu, kuti ummm regai ndimbomupa kaHonda kekufamba nako, rega ndimbomupa stand awane pekuvaka, regai ndimupe mari mbichana abatsirikane. its possible zvinoramba sei naMwari, but ngatigone kuFocuser pana ivo Mwari and not zvinhu.

 

Solomon achibvunzwa kunzi unoda kuti ndikupe chii, haana kutanga neku maker maRequests even though he wanted wisdom but akatanga nekutenda Mwari nekuda kwezvavakaita & later on ndipo paakakumbira wisdom

Take a lesson from this: prayer haingotange nemaRequests hee ndinokumbira sku fees, ndikumbirawo basa. But it starts nekutenda Mwari.
Jesu achiTeacher Lord's prayer, haana kutanga neGive us our daily bread but akatanga nePraise and Worship.

Our father, --apa yeChingwa haisati yataurwa--- who art in heaven,--apa yeChingwa haisati yataurwa--- hallowed be thy name,--apa yeChingwa haisati yataurwa--- thy kingdom come,--apa yeChingwa haisati yataurwa--- thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven....Later on ndipo panozouya request yeChingwa.
MaRequests ngaazotere zvawo but tanga nekutenda nekurumbidza Mwari.
maPrayer requests ekubudirira awanda stereki kupfura kurumbidza Mwari, kupfura kutenda Mwari.

 

On that encounter yekuti munhu ashanyirwa naMwari kuhope, haana kukumbira pfuma but akakumbira an understanding heart, (wisdom). Nhasi Mwari vakakushanyira kuhope vokuti kumbira chaunoda, what are you going to ask for, is it money, is it the latest car, is it a fancy wedding, is it a husband/wife? That’s why tisiri kushanyirwa neDenga nekuti maRequests edu akawandira kuNyama and not zvepaMweya. That’s why Solomon achishanyirwa naMwari because he knows what to ask from GOD, wisdom-huchenjeri, chipo cheMweya.

Understanding yeShoko raMwari chaiyo vanhu vazhinji havana they wait kuti vaparidzirwe naPastor but haana kana 1 day raanonamata achikumbira kuti Mwari ndikombira kuti pese pandinoverenga Shoko renyu ndigone kurinzwisisa, haanamatire izvozvo. but he prays for mari yekutenga hembe nyowani. Is Christianity a fashion show where you are concerned about looking good or its about living The Word of GOD?

 

Verse 10 inobva yati And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. Request yaSolomon yakafadza Mwari. Unogona here kuita maRequests anofadza Mwari. Rega ndikupe tip about a request inofadza Mwari: Solomon akakumbira huchenjeri hwekutonga vanhu vainge anzi naMwari aite mambo wavo. So the moment yaanowana wisdom he is able kuita basa raakapihwa naMwari zvakanaka, and the people will be in good books naMwari. So indirectly request yaSolomon inoBenefiter Mwari, nekuti rudzi rwekaIsrael rinenge richi tungamirwa naSolomon mukuterera Mwari.

 

So kana uchida kuita request inofadza Mwari, begin to ask for something chekuti ivo Mwari vacho will also benefit from that thing. Muyenzaniso ukakumbira kuti Mwari ndinoda wisdom and revelation yekuti ndiparidze Shoko renyu, that request can please GOD nekuti zvinoita kuti vanhu vatendeuke, uye vakure mukuziva Mwari. Ukakumbira kuti Mwari ndinoda gift of discernment yekuti ndigone kuziva kuti uyu is a fake prophet and uyu is a true prophet, izvozvo zvinofadza Mwari nekuti you will able kubatsira vana vaMwari kuti vasarasike. But request yeStiletto inoBenefiter Mwari papi pacho, pick-up yauri kuda iyi inoBenefiter Mwari how, mari yauri kuda how does it benefit GOD?
so vavarira kukumbira something spiritual chekuti chinoita kuti basa raMwari riendeke, vanhu vatendeuke and vakatendeuka kare vakure paMweya. Begin to ask for spiritual gifts.

 

Mwari vanobva vati kunaSolomon nekuda kwekuti wakumbira chinhu ichi and hauna kukumbira hupenyu hwakareba, kana PFUMA, kana kuti vavengi vako vafe, asi wakumbira huchenjeri, ndichakupa huchenjeri hwacho  and ON TOP OF THAT ndichakupa zvausina kukumbira: both riches and honor, pfuma nekukudzwa. Solomon haana kukumbira pfuma but Mwari ndivo vega vakamupa, ko nhai Mwari vanopirei munhu mari yaasina kukumbira, akumbira wisdom chete but izvo zvepfuma muri kumupireiko Ishe?

Answer: Matthew 6:33 seek the Kingdom of GOD first and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. Solomon atsvaga humambo hwaMwari, munhu arikufamba mukuterera Mwari and he is asking for spiritual things, that’s why physical things are being added unto his life. ndizvo zvinoita Mwari, if you seek His Kingdom and righteousness, unopihwa zvinhu zvausina kukumbira. Idzo pfuma dzamuri kuda kumhanyisana nadzo idzi, dzikamai, tsvagai humambo hwaMwari chekutanga nekururama kwake, and zvimwe zvese munozvipihwa, pasina kana request zvinouya.

 

What are you seeking for, urikuvavarira kubata chii, imari here kana kuti humambo hwaMwari?? Ngatisanganei zvekare paPart 4
