LIGHT WORD

LightWord: “But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right--the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.” Matthew 6:33 AMP Before Jesus called His disciples, many of them were obsessed with survival, money, and status. Peter was focusing on fishing, Matthew was focusing on collecting taxes, but when they encountered Jesus, their priorities shifted completely. This was what Jesus said to the disciples and made the difference, Luke 9:23, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me . Note that word "daily." Remember, what He said to one, He said to all. Jesus is also speaking to us today in the same manner. Say this to yourself: Father, let the Holy Spirit redirect my focus on You completely, denying myself, taking up my cross daily, and following You in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33 Come to think about it, what would happen if for the next 30 days, you made one decision every single day: God comes first, not religion, not perfection, just daily surrender. At the end of this series, you will realize that when God is first in your life, it will change your entire life for good. When God is first in your life, it changes your priorities. One of the first things that happens by putting God First is this: your priorities begin to change. Suddenly, things that once felt extremely important start losing their grip on you. Like the need to impress people, the constant comparison, the endless chasing after temporary things. Say this to yourself: Father, as I begin to put You first practically in my life, make You more important to me and let me begin to see life differently in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33 Have you ever wondered what would happen if you truly put God first in every part of your life for a complete 30 days? Not only on Sundays, not halfway but completely. Most people want peace, direction, joy, and breakthrough, but they keep putting God second, third, or even last. We wake up and check our phones before we pray. We trust our feelings more than God's Word. We chase success, money, relationships, and validation, hoping those things will finally satisfy us. But Jesus said something very powerful in our focal Scripture, that verse changes everything. Say this to yourself: Father, help me to truly put You first and not second nor third nor last again for the rest of my life in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right--the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.” Matthew 6:33 AMP According to our focal Scripture of today, do you realize that putting God first is for your own benefit? If yes, fine; if not, please re-read and read-think. You really need to put GOD FIRST! Last time, I asked this thoughtful question that needs a faithful response. Is God first in my life? So many times, we become familiar with something that we don't even know the value. The word, God First has been ringing in our ears for years. Some, it's even from birth, but still not putting God first. In this series, you will realize that when we put God first, it will not only change your schedule but your entire life. Say this to yourself: Father, thank You for forgiving me all my wrong doings of selfish ideas, I ask by the help of the Holy Spi...

LightWord: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33 Today, I want to ask you a question, and I want you to give yourself a sincere response. Many times, you've come across the word God First; in fact, you yourself know the Scripture too much without looking at the Bible, but with a sincere heart, is God First in your life? Do you really always put Him first in all your ways? Is the word just part of the Scripture or part of your life? Are you just reading it or living it? Have you paused to think about it to apply it, or anytime you come across it, you just read it on? This is not for condemnation but for correction. Say this to yourself: Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, thank You for Your love and care for me. But I know I'm guilty of being disobedient to Your Word that will greatly benefit me, have mercy, oh God on me in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.” Mark 11:23 Do not forget; words are powerful tools for creating your world. The life you want to live tomorrow depends on the words you are speaking today. Your words are like seeds sowing; you will harvest it. Even Jesus says you will have whatever you say. In other words, your words are prophesying your future. No matter what God says about you, no matter what people say about you, what does matter is what you say about yourself. Say this to yourself: Father, I pray that You help me by Your Spirit to always use my words for my elevation and not my destruction in Jesus' name. Amen!
