The injunction to seek God's kingdom first, implies that we seek it first in point of time. It should be the first thing attended to. It is not merely to be admitted as of first importance, but should really be put first in point of time. The first thoughts of each morning should be given to it.

Some seminaries have removed evangelism classes from their curriculum and pastors aren't being taught how to give an effective, God honoring public invitation, void of manipulation.

In our churches today, we have allowed ourselves to hold to a low view of God instead of seeing Him as Who He really is.

Charles Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, pastored the Metropolitan Tabernacle for 38 years, and spent many of those years in a state of powerful revival. Multitudes came from all over the world to hear him speak. His average Sunday morning services hosted up to six thousand people listening intently to the Word of the Lord. While it is fairly common today to see churches of thousands, in some places there seems to be one on every street corner, back in Spurgeon’s day, it was nothing short of miraculous.
