Seek Ye First The Kingdom Part 3

Seek First | The Crumb, The Loaf & The Leaven (Matthew 6:33)

The Myrrhologist Podcast | Marissa Saint Luc

In this episode, we step into a prophetic foundation-laying conversation on Matthew 6:33 — and why God often interrupts our plans to pour new floors before He builds new levels.

This is not a “blessing formula” message.

This is a table test.

Jesus is pressing, leveling, and flattening hearts in this hour because wind moves freely across flat ground — and the Kingdom often begins with subtraction before it manifests as “addition.”

In today’s episode, we talk about:

Why God won’t build revelation on a cracked foundation

The leaven Jesus presses out: ambition, comparison, ego, hidden motives

Why “seek first” isn’t a promise of addition — it’s a summons

The danger of measuring your crumb against someone else’s loaf

Joseph’s prison prophecy: the cupbearer vs the baker

Why the greatest test is serving at the King’s table without serving yourself

A crumb from Jesus is not “less.”

It’s the full Christ.

And when we honor what He placed on another person’s plate — instead of envying it — we are feeding Jesus in real time.

If this message pierced you, share it.

Leave the leaven in Egypt.

And let the Lord level your heart until only Jesus remains.

Welcome to the Morologist Podcast. I'm your host, Marissa St. Luke. And this is our last episode on the Seek Ye First series. Jesus said, The kingdom of God is within you. And then he said, seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all of these things will be added unto you. Those two statements alone dismantle almost everything that modern Christianity teaches about wealth, blessing, and prosperity. I'm going to say something sobering that most don't want to admit. Honestly, I think that we're seeing a lot of false salvations. And let me say this clearly: nobody gets saved because of somebody else. People are saved because Jesus speaks. We release the sound, but the shepherd does the calling. Jesus said, My sheep hear my voice and they follow me. And then Scripture says that no one can come to Jesus unless the Father draws them. So when truth is spoken, we're not saving anybody. What we're doing is we're making space for recognition. And for those who belong to Him will hear the voice and respond. That's real salvation. And nowadays in this seeker-sensitive church culture, people are promised relief, not transformation. They're getting forgiveness, but they're not walking out with lordship. Their assumption is that Jesus is going to make life comfortable. But scripture says that he makes all things new. Jesus really never promised his disciples ease, but he promised them truth. He gives them peace on the inside and resistance on the outside. He gives us a settled heart, a contested life. So if there's no formation, no discipline, no pruning, no visible fruit, what we're calling salvation might just be comfort wearing Christian language. Because real salvation doesn't just change where we're going, it changes who's in charge right now. And when Jesus is Lord, everything else has to adjust in your life. Because if the kingdom is inside of you, then whatever gets added is not coming from the outside world. If any part of your walk with Christ is having an expectation of asking for external things, I'm sorry, but you haven't made it in the kingdom yet. So let me help you discover the things that are promised in our kingdom. I want to start talking about the wealth transfer, not the version that promises you money, but the one that scripture actually describes. Because the Bible never points us to vaults, it points us to fruit. Jesus tells us exactly how heaven measures wealth. He says, where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Treasure comes first. The heart follows. So we have to ask the question: what does God consider treasures? Not money, not platforms. God is calling people treasures. God calls obedience treasures. He calls our fruit treasures. The fruit of the Spirit, which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. This is heaven's currency. And the prosperity gospel loves to quote: My God shall supply all of your needs according to his riches in glory, which is located in Philippians 4.19. But we never ask the real question: what are riches to God? Because God doesn't need money. Gold was in the Garden of Eden before it even became a currency. So he doesn't trade in currencies. Riches in glory are the substance of him, his wisdom, his righteousness, his peace, his presence, his provision for assignments. So let's not mistake Paul for saying that God wants to fund indulgence and that abundance of earthly treasures and earthly things are what he's talking about, because that's actually the spirit of gluttony is hoarding abundance. He's saying that God will supply what obedience requires. Needs will be met in alignment, not in appetite. This is why Paul could abound and suffer lack, and he remained unchanged, because his identity was not funded by circumstance. Pharaoh had an abundance of gold, but Israel had glory, and only one crosses over. So I think that the church needs to go through the wealth transfer correction because this is not talking about future money. It is present fruit revealed later. In the book of Revelation, when the books are open, nothing is being decided. All the resources have already been spent. Judgment is not a payout, it is a receipt. It shows where your heart went, who you poured into, what fruit actually grew. That's why judgment terrifies some people and comforts others. Same book, different investments. And as I was thinking about this, I started thinking about how many depressed people that we have and discouraged people. And it may not be because something is wrong with you. It may be because you have a heart for people, a heart for a place, a heart for an area where God actually anointed you to set the captives free and break yokes. But instead of releasing what you carry, you've been holding on to your fruit and holding it in reserve for another time. And fruit was never designed to be stored. It was designed to be eaten. There is a grief that comes from unused oil, from obedience that becomes delayed, from compassion that's been restrained. And that heaviness is not weakness, it's really pressure from purpose damned up. I know many rich people that don't enjoy life because wealth without alignment in Christ suffocates. And one of the most dangerous questions that a person can wake up to is: did I get rich but lose my family? Did I win but at the wrong cost? Now is the time to be asking these type of questions because the fruit is already forming and the books are already being written. You don't want to wait until the end to try to course correct. You adjust while there's still a little bit of time to invest differently. Success without presence is a loss. Provision without peace is poverty. And influence without love is bankruptcy. The world will reward you for winning. Heaven will ask who you kept. So before the outcome is sealed, before the harvest is final, before the ledger closes, it's time to get into the kingdom that can never be shaken. And if you're depressed because you're comparing yourself to a pastor's level of service, I really want you to hear this. God did not design your life for their ministry. In fact, church was never meant to be the center of ministry. Life was. In Acts 2, your home was your ministry. And our marriages are our ministry. Our jobs are our ministry. Church is a pause. It's kind of like a pool party. It's refreshing, it's celebratory, it's where people are fed and strengthened. And if you serve in the house of God, that's beautiful because you're barbecuing at the pool party so others can be refreshed and go back into the real world as walking epistles. But nobody lives in the pool. Scripture says we are living letters that are read by all. And don't get it twisted, okay? It's taken me a while to gird myself up, to walk out from the hidden into the public. But at some point I realized among everything that I do that my heart started speaking louder than my flesh. So I sat down and I pressed record. I had to get over myself. But you know what this feels like? This feels like hitting transfer funds on the reserve account. All the fruit that I've been protecting, the fear of God, the hunger, and the thirst for righteousness, I now get to release it. And the return on investment is unbelievable. In knowing that even one person might feel repentance or have hunger wake up or reverence restored. To me, that's everything. That is my success. At the end of Revelation, we see the revealing of a tree. The tree of life bears fruit in every month. It says, the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. The fruit feeds, the leaves heal. That means that heaven's final economy is not accumulation, it's distribution. Healing means mending, restoration, rejoining what was broken. So the wealth transfer is not what comes to you, it's what others are able to partake of because you said yes. Jesus said, by this all will know that you are my disciples if you have love for one another. And the definition of love is somebody who's willing to lay down their life. Love rejoices in truth. Love hates sin. Love restores. Love disciplines. And love produces fruit. Anything that leaves people bound is not love. And love heals nations. So for everybody who has assumed and been taught that the wealth transfer is money moving through hands. When these books open, nobody's going to argue the math with God. Because this math that was written is every day that we choose people over preservation, obedience over comfort, and love over fear. The kingdom that Jesus brought to us is not coming later. It is within us. This is where the account is kept, not in numbers, in lives. Where your heart went, your treasure followed. And where your treasure went, heaven is taking notes. So if your heart is towards your husband, for your children, the broken, for women who need to be seen, for the homeless, for the forgotten, it is your assignment. Those are the ones holding your treasure. And I want to encourage you to go. Go where your heart already is. Go where the fruit that you carry is meant to be eaten. Go while the books are still being written. Because when they open, it won't be about what you've accumulated. It will be all about what you gave. And they will know us by our love. You've been listening to the Morologist Podcast. I hope that this stirred something in you, whether it be the fear of God, hunger, or a desire to pour out what you've been holding. Don't let it stay in reserve. Please continue to follow this podcast, share this episode, and join us as we keep opening up the scroll together. Until next time, let love be the evidence.
