Matthew 6:9-13 / Genesis 2

"Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What
shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?'
or 'What shall we wear?' For after all
these things the Gentiles seek. For
your heavenly Father knows that you
need all these things. But seek
(enquire, desire, worship) first the
kingdom of God and His
righteousness, and all these things
shall be added to you.”
Matthew 6:31-34 (NKJV)
JESUS NEVER PREACHED OR
TAUGHT THE DISCIPLES WITH
HEALING, DELIVERANCE,
PROSPERITY, GROWTH,
PROPHETIC, FASTING
JESUS ONLY PREACHED
THE GOSPEL OF THE
KINGDOM OF GOD

SALVATION BUT RATHER HE
SPOKE ABOUT SALVATION AS
A REQUIREMENT TO
PARTICIPATE IN GOD’S
ADVANCEMENT OF HIS
KINGDOM WHERE HE IS THE
DOOR TO ENTER IN

ABOUT SALVATION BUT IT
FOCUS ON THE
RESTORATION OF GOD’S
KINGDOM ON EVERY HEARTS
OF MEN THROUGH JESUS
PREACHING ABOUT THE
GOSPEL OF THE
KINGDOM

ASK JESUS,
“LORD TEACH US TO PRAY”

MAN’S CONNECTION TO HIS
CREATOR THROUGH THE

FATHER’S ORIGINAL DESIGN
ON MAN
 THE FATHER’S PURPOSE WAS
TO EXTEND THE KINGDOM OF
HEAVEN ON EARTH AND THAT
HE WILL CREATE A GOD-KIND OF
BEING WHERE HE CAN SEE
HIMSELF ON THEM AND THEY
WILL ENJOY WHAT HE ENJOYS
AND WILL MAKE THEM AS HIS
MANAGERS TO TAKE
CHARGE ON HIS CREATION
 GOD PROVIDED MAN
THE KINGDOM (WHERE HE CAN
EXERCISE HIS MANAGEMENT ABILITY ON
GOD’S FINISH WORK)
THE POWER (WHERE MAN CAN
ENFORCE HIS AUTHORITY ON ALL
CREATION)
AND THE GLORY (WHERE MAN IS
GIVEN THE HIGHEST PRIVILEDGE TO
WALK WITH GOD)
