Diligently pursue God's kingdom together.

Jesus teaches us that our asking, searching, and knocking (together) will be rewarded.

Matthew 7:7-11 7 "Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. 9 Is there anyone among you who, if your child asks for bread, will give a stone? 10 Or if the child asks for a fish, will give a snake? 11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

Do we ignore Jesus' teaching to sincerely and diligently pursue God's kingdom together?

Note: Followers of Jesus ask (through prayer), search (with earnest sincerity) and knock (diligently) on God's door (pursuing God's kingdom) .  The "you"s in this verse are plural and better translated as "you all"s.  This isn't so much a command for individuals, but for the collective of Jesus' followers to pursue the Kingdom of God together.  So many people have taken these verses as an invitation to ask for one's selfish gain.  But that is not at all what it is about.  It is about asking for the Kingdom that Jesus has described to his followers.
