Seeking the kingdom and seeking righteousness all point to Jesus Christ and Him crucified for the forgiveness of our sins. Because of His resurrection and ascension, believers have that hope of eternal life with God.

You will find the Kingdom of Heaven when you stop looking for it and start living it. Jesus said it is within you, you won't find it anywhere else no matter how hard you look for it outside yourself.

Seeking after God and His Kingdom & Righteousness is an easy answer.

It means reading your Bible every day and more today than you did yesterday. The more you read His word, the more He reveals to you. And when you read it, read it, prayerfully. What's that mean Lord? Do that mean me Lord? and so forth.

... and it also means putting it into practise. It's no use reading it if you don't then do it.

Exactly, @tango! To seek his kingdom as his subjects means to obey more and more the King's words and ways, that is, Jesus' commands, as he said we can by the Spirit's power through Jesus' resurrection (Colossians 3:1).

Joh 15:8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.
Joh 15:9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.
Joh 15:10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
Joh 15:11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
Joh 15:12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

Col 3:1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
