GOD FIRST


READ: GENESIS 1:1-3

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1). In man’s life are several beginnings. The day of your spiritual rebirth is one such. Your birthday is a second. The day of God’s special visitation in your life is yet a beginning of another kind.
In each new beginning, the Lord gives us several new opportunities to right our wrongs, straighten our crooked past, develop our neglected or untapped potentials, glorify His worthy name and be all He wants us to be.
This day, the Lord is saying something to you. He that has ears, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to one and all. The Lord is saying you do not have to live a defeated life anymore; you do not have to live in want and poverty anymore. Your life does not have to continue in circles of retrogression, sorrow, spiritual lukewarmness and unattainable goals. All these have been buried.
“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33). This Scripture holds the key to God’s best for you this day. That key is simply seeking God and making Him your source. Make Him your number One. In all your aspirations, strive to know God, please Him and follow His step-by-step directions in everything you do. Devote hours, days and weeks to wait on Him, seek His face, worship and study more about Him. Your plans will fall into place: spiritual, material and financial blessings will come effortlessly to you. This day, instead of seeking things, seek the Giver of all good things and your expected blessings will come to you. 

MEMORIZE: MATTHEW 6:33 –But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
