God wants us to have everything that the gentiles have too. The only difference is in the focus and priority shift.The gentiles run after food, drink and clothing which is equal to running after money. So when Jesus says 'ALL THESE THINGS' will be added unto you, isn’t 'ALL THESE THINGS' equal to money. Remember we need money to buy the food, drinks and clothes. God wants us to focus on the spiritual first as that is what we are.
When Jesus was saying,’ Seek ye first the kingdom of God” He is not telling us go on a wild goose chase. We only search or run after things that we can find.So the kingdom of God is a matter of now and not for ‘after dead experience’. Jesus commands us to seek righteousness right here on earth and that is a prerequisite,so is also the seeking of the kingdom of God a prerequisite first for our personal lives and then for it to impact the world around us.
The kingdom of God is like a package with everything that we need within it.Its like a website with different features and products that can be downloaded and bought. Its like a cleansing device or system that wants to purify everything that is not clean. Whatever area we surrender to God comes under His dominion and jurisdiction.And His righteousness works out His nature and character within us. So with Him within us there is nothing that can stop wealth to be transferred into our hands.
When the kingdom of God and His righteousness begins to fill us its hard not to predict that it will eventually affect our family life, workplace, social life and the systems around us. To be fruitful is what He created us for primarily. His first commandment to Adam was to be fruitful that is to is to be able to reproduce the Godlikeness and image and to inhabit the earth with Godlike race and so also was Jesus’ command to immerse the nations with the character of the Father and the ministries, the Son(5 fold gifts) and the Holy Ghost and His gifts. We need to have the Joseph dimension of allowing our branches to spread across the wall.
