Title: Seek first (Part 1) Main Scripture: Matthew 6:33

Wakamboona paNews kana vachida kubiditsa video clip inotyisa, maybe iCar accident yafa vanhu vazhinji or hameno imwe horror yaitika, pane statement inotaurwa naNews reader before that video clip hanzi “please note the following footage is not suitable for viewers with nervous disposition” unogara wapihwa warning yekuti video yatinoda kubuditsa iyi haidi vanhu vane hana nhete, unozorara uchivhumuka. Rega ndikatsemurewo kaStatement ikako, this sermon is not for people vane nervous disposition, haizi yevanhu vekuti akatsiurwa he/she easily gets offended, haizi yemunhu anoda doctrine yeChurch yaanopinda more than Shoko raMwari. Im not here to entertain you, so don’t expect kuti ufarire zvandichaparidza. If you want something nice to read, then wauya paWrong place, nhasi tirikutsikirana madomasi, haizi rivalry but iRevival, nekuti for too long tagara pazvinhu zvisirizvo.

 Inga bhazi wani tichienda kuSouth Africa tinoita maLay byes akawanda muRoad umo patinoenda kuRecess nekutenga zvekudya, but ukaona tavakupedza zuva rese takagara paLay bye then takunganisa. Yes paChicken slice paMvuma tinogna kumbomira hedu but tikazopedza 2 days tiripo isu tiine journey yekuenda Joburb then there is need yekumanikidza vanhu vese kuti vadzokere muBhazi so that we can continue with our journey, anenge arambawo kupinda its his own loss, anosara ipapo isu tichienda. Nhasi anenge arambawo kuterera vhangeri hameno hako, because its been too long vanhu vakagara paNyaya yekuda kupfuma but vachi Neglecter their spiritual lives.

Matthew 6:33 iVerse yekuti almost muChristu wese anoiziva, even vamwe vasati vagamuchira Jesu they know it very well, but problem yanetsa ndeye kurarama in accordance with what it says. Munhu unogona kuziva kuti aka kabepa kandapihwa naDoctor aka kanonzi Prescription, but ukarega kutenga mushonga wakanyorwa ipapo, you will remain ill. So nyaya haizi yekungoziva kuti ndine prescription yakanyorwa maAntibiotics, paracetamol, painkiller etc etc but zvinotoda kuti utenge and umwe mushonga wacho in accordance with the doctor’s instructions. So hazvibatsire kuti tizive matthew 6:33 but torega kuirarama verse iyoyo. Saka kuna James 1:22 kuchinzi But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. Munhu ngaarame shoko than kungofarira kurinzwa chete.

Jesu paanotaura mashoko ekuti seek first the Kingdom of GOD and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you, anga abva  kudzidzisa kuti regai kuva worried about zvinhu zvepanyama, kuti ndichadyei, what shall I wear, mangwana ndichaitei. Jesus knew kuti kune vamwe vatendi vari so occupied nezvinhu zvepaNyama, so akabva ataura kuti  tangai kutsvaka umambo hwaMwari nokururama kwake, uye zvinhu zvose izvi zvichapiwawo kwamuri.

regai ndifambe nayo mbichana mbichan, Jesus akaTeacher order inofanirwa kutedzerwa, or route yaunofanira kufamba nayo, Kingdom 1^st, GOD’s righteousness then zvinhu zvepaNyama zvozotevera. Order yezvinhu inokosha nekuti if you don’t follow it hazvifambe. I remember tiri kuCollege the 1^st week yeRegistration pane maProcudures aiwafanira kutedzera, kubhadhara fees, kuenda kwaBursar, kuenda KuDepartment etc etc. so pane kumwe kwekuti maRegistration forms ako haaitambirwa kana kuiswa chidhindo kana usina kupfura nekuine imwe office. Muenzaniso haiwagona kuisirwa chidhindo kuFaculty kana maLecturer asina kusiyana maRegistration forms ako, you would be told to go back unosainisa apa pawajamba. Apa ufunge time yawapedza wakamira paQueue only to be told kunzi dzokera uko, chikonzero ndechekuti hauna kuFollower order yezvinhu.

By the same token kune vamwe vanhu life yavo isiri kufamba nekuti they do not want to follow the order yekwaMwari. Iye Jesu ichiti seek 1^st Humambo hwaMwari but mumwe anoda kuJamba and he goes straight kuThings. And wasvika kuzvinhu kwacho unobva wanzi hapana chatiri kukupa, go back kuKingdom uko unogadzirisa nyaya dzako. Generation yedu yanyanya kubatwa nerudo rwemari, the love of things ndiyo yanyanya kubata vanhu more than the love of GOD.

Its very true GOD can make a person rich, izvo handirambe izvo, maVerse hobho anoSupporter nyaya iyoyo, but hona nyaya iripo is to follow format inodiwa naMwari wacho more than kungomhanya kuwana pfuma.  The devil can also make a person rich that’s why uchiona kuti pana Matthew 4 :9 satan anoudza Jesu kuti I will give you All these things if you fall down and worship me. King James Version ndafarira choice yemaWords ayashandisa, underliner mashoko ekuti ALL THESE THINGS. Iyewo satan anazvo zvinhu zvekupa vanhu kuti vapfume, so the moment yauchatadza kutedzera order yekwaMwari yekuti uwane things, tichikuona wava kuenda kunasatan inorder to get things, tichakuona wava kuenda kuvaporofita venhema, wakuenda kun’anga, wakuenda kuma satanists kuri kuvavarira kuti upfume, and mhedzisiro yacho is destruction.

So rega kuva mutendi ari so much in love with things (pfuma) kupfura muridzi wezvinhu Mwari. Ndokusaka Pauro achinyora kuna 1 timothy 6:10 achiti the love of money is the root of all evil, kwete kuti money is the root of evil but the love of money. Rudo pamusoro pemari ndiyo yakonzera kuti vannhu vaiite huipi, some resort to corruption, vamwe ndivo vanochekeresa, vamwe vachiromba, chinangwa chiri chekupfuma.

Chinorwadza ndechekuti unoona munhu anoita zvivindi zvekubata mutsanyo kudhonza kana 10 days achiti Mwari ndiropafadzei nemota, bless me with a car, but spiritual life yake yaparara kare. 9 maSpiritual gifts ari pana 1 Corinthians 12 haana kana 1, but anowana simba rekutsanya kuti atenge i-phone. Church yazara vanhu vanotaura nendimi, whether dzechokwadi kana kuti ndiFake but hapana kana 1 ane chipo chekududzira, instead yekuti vanhu vanamatire gift yekuInterpreter ndimi, vanenge vatori busy kunamatira maSuit manyowani. We are skipping the order yakataurwa naJesu. Chinotanga Humambo hwaMwari nekururama kwake then zvemaSuit izvo zvozotera.

Mota chaiyo muHedheni anogona kunyora cheque, Benz ikaswera yava muShip ichibva kuGermany, and that same thing ndicho chaunokwidzira mugomo uchinamatira, Mwari ndinoda Ipsum, I want a Toyota chaser, ndinoda Vitz. But iwo mweya wako uine nzara. Shuwa ungatsanyire suit yekuti munhu asinganamate anayo, ndiyo yaunoda kubatira prayer here iyoyo. Hauna here zvimwe zviri nani zvaunganamatire. Kunamatira varwere chaiko haukwanise, headache chaiyo tikati namatira munhu apore haukwanise but tikati tinoda kunamatira mari, kana absolute fasting unopinda. Chikonzero you love money more than the Kingdom of GOD.

Aripo murume akasangana face to face naJesu, but inzwa unzwe request yaakaita, hanzi “Mudzidzisi, udzai mukoma wangu kuti agovane nhaka neni.”
Just imagine one on one naMessiah munhu anokumbira kuti Jesu auye kuzogadzirisa nyaya dzeNhaka, bhachi neJean zvakasiwa naBaba, wardrobe, nemaPrimus stove, bhasikoro, mota, imba, ndizvo zvaanoda kuti Jesu agadzirise izvozvo. but inzwa unzwe answer yaJesu, “Iwe murume, ndianiko akandigadza kuti ndive mutongi kana mugoveri pakati penyu?

He went on futi kuudza vanhu kuti, “Chenjerai! Muchenjerere marudzi ose okuchiva; upenyu hwomunhu hahuzi pazvizhinji zhinji zvaanazvo.” (Then he said to them, “Watch out and guard yourself from all types of greed, because one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”) Luke 12:13-15

how many times do we make maRequests akaita semurume uyu, we get mukana wekupinda muPresence yaMwari, we get mukana wekutaura naMwari through prayer but inzwa unzwe maRequests acho, akazara huGreediness, akazara ruchiva, Jehovah ndipeiwo i-pad inenge yaNhingi, ndinodawo hairstyle senge yakarukwa mai nhingi, I need a car, I need  a mansion. Makaro ega ega, but Jesu obva ati Watch out and guard yourself from all types of greed, because one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions. Haizi nyaya yemaAssets iyi hama.

GOD is abler to take care of your needs, Mwari vanogona kukupa stand, vanogona kukupa zikuMansion, mota, basa rinobhadara, but vari kuda kuti utedzere the proper channel. Kingdom first and His righteousness and all other things shall be added to you. Ini hangu personally lets say ndiri kunyenga musikana and before she accepts my proposal obva ati tanga wandiesa kuPizza inn after that ndozokuudza mhinduro. Handibvume zvaataura. Ndati inini, hameno kuti rimwe boys rinoita sei, chikonzero why ndicharamba ndeichi: ko ndikamuendesa kuPizza inn ikoko, she spends my money afterwards obva ati hazviite kuti tidanane let us just be friends, ndinorwadziwa, mari yangu yaendera mahara. ngapatange paite love then tozotaura nyaya yePizza. That’s the problem nevamwe vanhu, they are not in love with GOD but varikumaker maDemands, GOD I want a car, I want a house, and maRequest avo haasi kuzadziswa because they are  not in love with GOD. Hausati wava nehukama hwakasimba naMwari but night and day unenge uchikumbira zvinhu.

Vamwe vanobva vaiti aiwa munhu waMwari isu vamwe takawana kingdom kare, righteousness takaiwana kare so that why tichinamatira things (pfuma).

rega ndikubatsire ipapa apaNzwisisa. Hanzi naJesu, seek first the Kingdom of GOD and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. Unotanga nekutsvaga humambo hwaMwari nekururama kwavo and zvimwe zvese uchapihwa. What you seek for is the Kingdom of GOD and His righteousness chete, you don’t seek for things, hautsvage zvinhu but once wawana kingdom and righteousness then Mwari ndivo vanokupa things (pfuma), hautsvage wega things but unopihwa automatically nekuti wawana Kingdom and righteousness. So chako iwewe is to focus pane 2 zvekutanga izvi (humambo nekururama) and Mwari ndivo vanokupa things.

Rega ndipe example iyi yemuBible, ukaverenga Jesu paaipa vanhu chingwa neFish. Vanhu havasi rivo vaikumbira kuti tine nzara please tipei chekudya. But hona sequence yemaEvents, vanhu vaiuya kuzonzwa vhangeri raJesu hanti (they were seeking The Kingdom of GOD and His righteousness) after sermon yapera, maDisciples achitoti Ishe udzai vanhu vadzokere kudzimba kwavo nekuti kwadoka, iye Jesu ndiye aiti aiwa let them sit down ndivape zvekudya kuti varege kufenda muNzira umo. Vanhu vaiuya kuzotsvaga chingwa cheMweya (shoko) then iye Jesu ozovapa chingwa chepaNyama (bread and fish) zvavasina kukumbira.

Why is that so, Mwari kana achinge akugutsa paMweya haakusiye uine nzara yepaNyama, He will add things to you zvausina kukumbira. Unotoshamisika uchifonerwa kuti tirikukudai kuJob interview kuCompany yausina kuApplier, unotoshamisika kuti munhu wausingazive anouya kwauri achiti ndanzi naMwari I must give you this car. So rega kuda kuita pressure nekutsvaga pfuma but iwo mweya wako uine nzara. Kana iwewe uchiti Kingdom wakaiwana, righteousness wakaiwana, then relax, rega kuita pressure nepfuma because GOD will add it to you. why uchida kuzviomesera nekutsvaga wega zvinhu zvacho iye Mwari achiti achakupa.

So mumwe anobva ati saka munhu waMwari are you saying kuti hatifanire kuenda kuBasa, tinofanira kuswera tiri pamba tichinamata stereki, tichitsanya tichiparidza, tisingashande. No kwete, handisi kudaro, rega nditaure shoko rekuna Proverbs 23:4 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. Rega kushanda with an aim yekuda kubva wapfuma ne1 month nekuti mhedzisiro yacho you will end up waparara. Get this, paNyika pano kuti upfume its either uneBack up yasatan or yaMwari. Pasina back up yasatan or yaMwari, very sorry haulume. Kana uine back up yasatan hongu unopfuma but gehena straight. Kana uine back up paMwari unopfuma but you have to follow the order yepaMatthew 6:33. So the moment you over work to be rich wakutorasika nekuti you are not following the correct channel. Don’t take maShort cut, enda ne the correct route

Kubasa enda, shandira mhuri yako, ubhadhare rent, maSchool fees, magetsi, but rega kusvika paLevel yekuti unoda kutsvaga mari zvakanyanya kupfura kutsvaga Mwari to the extent yekuti kana kuChurch unorovha uchienda kuBasa. kuAll night unorovha nekuti unoda kuita overtime kubasa to get money. Kusvika paLevel yekuti you are now accepting maBribe paRoadblock paunoshanda or pabasa pako chinangwa chiri chekuti upfume. Kusvika paLevel yekuti unoreva nhema just to get money, you cheat to make ends meet.

just be honest pabasa pauri ipapo, hongu mari yauri kutambira ishoma but if you are honest pamberi paMwari, surely He will bless you, if you seek the Kingdom of GOD and His righteousness, He will add these things into your life. ndipo paya pekuti if you look at your payslip, wotarisa makuriro emhuri yako and the expenses you pay, ndipo paunonyatsoona kuti apa ndiri kuchengetwa naMwari apa. Iko kaSalary ikaka aka but im living comfortably. Unonyatsoona kuti GOD is adding things unto your life because you are seeking the Kingdom and His righteousness.

Generation yedu dai tagona kuva nerudo naMwari more than rudo nezvinhu. seMushumiri ndine zvinhu zvandionawo, and im sure vanhu vanoswera paFacebook vanogona kundipupurira kuti ndiri kutaura chokwadi. Munhu anoisa post yekuti receive your house, receive your car, receive your financial breakthrough, receive your house, post iyoyo inowana maAmens, akawanda, vanhu vanotsikirirana kubaya like button. But kana ukaPoster uchiti vanhu ngatibudei muzvivi tiite zvinodiwa naMwari, unoona maAmen mashoma and a few likes. Vanhu vavakunyanyoda hupfumi more than Mwari.

And vamwewo vaparidzi they are there to entertain people, they are there kuparidza zvinonakidza vanhu, vhangeri rekururama is now endangered specie. Kwangozara bless you bless you, financial break through, but ivo vanhu vachihura, receive your wedding but iye mwanasikana achifamba ari half-naked. Receive your car, but iye munhu achitadza kuchengeta vabereki vake kumusha uko. Iyi ingori fulfilment yeProphesy yakaitwa naPauro yemazuva ekuguma kuna 2 Timothy 4:3-4 kunonzi For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Nechishona: Nokuti nguva ichasvika vanhu pavacharamba kuteerera dzidziso yakarurama. Asi vachida zvinovafadza ivo, vachazviunganidzira vadzidzisi vazhinji kuti vadzidzise zvinodiwa nenzeve dzavo. Vachafuratidza nzeve dzavo kuchokwadi uye vachatsaukira kungano

ndiyo nguva yatava iyi yekuti munhu anotsvaga vhangeri rinomunakidza, and ivo vaparidzi vacho they aim to preach zvinonakidza vanhu. Makesure kuti vhangeri rauri kuterera harizi rekufadza nzeve dzako, uye kana uri muparidzi rega kuparidza zvinhu zvekuda kunakidza vanhu. Kuparidza kwesiyana nemaStand up comedians wekuti here is there to entertain the people, no, hatipo pakufadza vanhu but tiripo pakufadza Mwari. Ukaona ndichikuparidzira vhangeri rekukufadza iwewe but ndisingafadze Mwari, please do yourself a favour, rega kuverenga hako zvatinoPoster, kana pari paFacebook chibva wabaya hako unlike button, kana uchikwanisa kuBlocker gara waBlocker. Galations 1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.

Rega kutsvaga zvinofadza nyama yako, but tsvaga zvinofadza Mwari.

haina kupera sermon yedu but kwanhasi ngatigumire pano so that I can give you time to digest zvandaparidza. Part 2 is coming
