TOPIC: GOD FIRST IN ALL YOU DO
TEXT: MATTHEW 6:25-36, PROVERBS 3:5-6
Putting God first in all we do means submitting to the will of God the Father.
When we acknowledge Him as our Lord and Saviour, He is able to take care of our needs. Proverbs 3:5-6.
We miss out in the blessings of God when we fail to acknowledge Him in our plans.
God wants us to put Him before everything, our jobs, money, spouse and even our children.
God has not come to hijack our lives, He simply wants to be our number one priority.
Putting Him above all things is in our best interest.
The will of God, as long as you accept it will make you happy in the end. Not putting God first is like buttoning your shirt incorrectly.
There are many things that clamour for our attention, but we need to make sure they don't take a higher place more than God in our lives.
Anything that will take excessive attention and deprive us from a relationship with God can take the place of God in our lives.
We need to make God our top priority and to do this we have to;
*Love God, whatever you love you put your priority on it so before you put God first, you have to love him.
*We have to trust Him
*We need to have faith in him.
