Seek Ye First← Home

How This Works

A short walk through the practice.

This page has no sales pitch in it, only an explanation. Seek Ye First exists to put one plain question in front of you each morning, and to give you a place to write down what happens when you actually try to answer it with your life. The full King James Bible is included, but the app is not the authority. Scripture governs; this is the room where you practice living it.

In Plain Words

What is Seek Ye First?

Most people who love the Bible know this feeling: you read the chapter, you underline something good, and by Tuesday nothing about your actual life has moved. Seek Ye First is built for that gap. Instead of counting chapters or minutes, it works through six areas you already govern — Mind & Body, Household, Work & Vocation, Money, Relationships, Influence — and asks one question of each: what does God’s rule actually look like here? You answer one question a day and write what you see. After a year you have a record of how your life actually changed, not a streak you managed to keep.

Why does this matter?

Jesus said to seek the kingdom first. Everything built for Bible readers helps you read more. Almost nothing helps you order your life around what you read. That gap is the whole reason this exists.

The Practice

I.

Your Territories

Six domains you already govern. Bring them under the King's rule, one at a time.

II.

First, Not More

Not minutes read. Not chapters counted. Whether the King got the first word today.

III.

New Every Morning

No streaks to break. No guilt for the day you missed. His mercies are new every morning, and so is this.

III.III.

The Daily Question

Each day opens with the same question: did the King get the first word today? Not minutes read, not a chapter count — just whether you sought Him before you sought anything else.

You answer yes or no. There is no penalty for no. His mercies are new every morning, and so is this question. Nothing here tracks a streak for you to protect; it only keeps a record, so you can see the shape of your own life over time.

I.

SEE

What is Scripture showing me here?

II.

ACT

What is one faithful next step?

III.

RETURN

What happened when I tried?

IV.IV.

Your Six Territories

A citizen governs territory. This app names six: Mind & Body, Household, Work & Vocation, Money, Relationships, and Influence. Each is a place in your actual life where the King's rule either shows or doesn't.

Every territory carries the same King's Question — "What does the King's rule look like here?" — and a small constitution of verses that govern it. You write your own answer, in your own words, as often as you like.

V.V.

The Kingdom Journal

Everything you write lands in one place, filed by the territory it belongs to. The Journal is not a diary you have to maintain — it simply collects what you've already written, so you can search it, read it back, and export it whenever you want.

Nothing you remove disappears at once. Removed entries are kept for thirty days before they're gone for good, in case a second thought arrives.

VI.VI.

Scripture and Claiming Verses

The reader holds the whole King James Bible. Tap a word for its meaning; tap the verse number for the whole verse and its actions — highlight it, bookmark it, or file it under a territory you govern.

Filing a verse under a territory doesn't move or alter the verse. It only marks, for you, which ground that word is meant to govern.

VII.VII.

Petitions, Decrees, and the Assize

A petition is a request you file, anchored to the Scripture it stands on, with a record of what came of it. A decree is a standing order — one rule you set for a territory, anchored to a verse, that isn't a habit to score but a law you've agreed to live under.

An assize is a quiet review of one territory: what came under his rule, what did not, and one thing to bring before Him next. It also sets each standing order you have made on that ground before you and asks, in plain words, what happened with it. You answer in your own words, or not at all. It is a review, never a scoreboard.

VIII.VIII.

What is Free, and What is Not

Every video the ministry makes stays free on YouTube, unpaywalled. Inside the app, the whole King James Bible — reading, search, highlighting, bookmarking, word study, offline — is free forever, along with the daily question, your consistency record, two territories of your choosing, and full export of everything you write, in Markdown and JSON, any time.

Full Access, for $12 a month or $89 a year, opens the other four territories, lets you file highlighted verses to any territory, and adds Petitions, Decrees, and the Assize. It also lets you ask up to three people to stand with you as accountability partners. Being asked costs nothing: an invited person can accept, see what their partner has chosen to show them, and share their own items back, on a free account. Nothing you've already written is ever held back from you — export is always full, on either plan.

IX.IX.

Your Words Are Yours

Your entries are private. They are yours. You can export all of them at any time, in a format you can keep. They are never sold, and they are never used to train anything.
