“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be

added to you.”

MATTHEW 6:33

“Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.”

John 18:36

John 18:46

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor[g] and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,[h]

45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet your brethren[i] only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors[j] do so? 48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

MATTHEW 5:43-48

“A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.”

PROVERBS 29:23

“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you

in due time:”

1 PETER 5:6

Psalm 109:28 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they

arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.

  BLESS THOSE WHO CURSE YOU

“Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.”

ROMANS 12:14

Matthew 6:1-4   “Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven.  2 Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.  3 But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,  4 that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.

GIVE IN SECRET

Matthew 6:6 (NKJV) 6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and

when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees

in secret will reward you openly.

Matthew 6:16 -18 16 “Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the

hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting.

Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.  17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash

your face,  18 so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father

who sees in secret will reward you openly.”

FAST IN SECRET

Luke 6:38a “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure,

pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom.

GIVE TO GET

“Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And

being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;”

PHIL. 2:6-11 25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more

than clothing?  26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap

nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 

27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? 28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of

the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;  29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was

not arrayed like one of these. 

MATTHEW 6:25-29 (NKJV)

30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much

more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or

‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’  32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your

heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all

these things shall be added to you.  34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will

worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”

MATTHEW 6:30-34

“Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, make your requests know to

God.”

PHILIPPIANS 4:6
