— Daniel Ziedins
Founder, Seek First World
In January 2019, I was chasing worldly success — transitioning into full-time entrepreneurship, learning from millionaires and billionaires, building toward something I thought would satisfy. Then everything changed in a hospital room.
A dear friend was there. Their life had crumbled in every measurable way. But their faith? Unshaken. Radiant, even. One night, as I prayed over them — overwhelmed, broken — God spoke something into my heart that I couldn't unhear: 'This is the most successful person you know.'
By every worldly standard, they had lost everything. But in God's eyes, they had everything that truly mattered. In that moment, 1 Samuel 16:7 came alive: 'People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.' That night, my definition of success was shattered and rebuilt.
That revelation ignited a fire around Matthew 6:33 and led to the creation of Seek First — a movement designed to remind people to prioritize the Kingdom above all else. It's also where the vision for our logo was born: an upside-down kingdom, symbolizing how God's ways are completely different from the ways of the world.
As Seek First grew, God placed another vision on my heart — collaboration and cultural impact. I saw the power of believers and ministries working together to advance God's Kingdom. That's where Seek First World was born — uniting brands, movements, and believers to glorify God in all we do and impact culture across nations.
When you interact with any Seek First expression, my prayer is that it serves as a daily reminder: put God first, and everything else will fall into place.
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
Matthew 6:33
