IS GOD FIRST? Part 12

LightWord: “ Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Exodus 20:3 In putting God first, like I said the last time, it exposes what is controlling you. This part is uncomfortable but powerful. When you truly and genuinely put God first, hidden idols begin to surface. And idol is anything that takes God's place in your heart. For some people, it's money; for others, it's relationships; and majorly for others, it's social media, success, lust, pride, or even approval from people. Say this to yourself: Father, I surrender every idol that has been controlling me under Your control from now on. I am no longer a slave to anything and everything that takes Your place in my life in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7 What many people have discovered is that when they spend first moments of their day with God instead of stress, worry loses its power. The battle in your mind becomes quieter. Your spirit becomes stronger. Instead of panicking first, you begin praying first. If this message is speaking to your heart so far, please share this LightWord with someone who needs encouragement today. Putting God first exposes what is controlling you. Say this to yourself: Father, help me by Your Spirit to experience the peace of God in my spirit, soul, and body as I prioritise putting You first in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord : “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7 When you put God first for 30 days, just as it happened in the life of Daniel, that same thing begins happening in your own life, too. Your circumstances may not instantly change, but your heart begins to change. Scripture says the peace of God, the kind that doesn't make sense to the world shall envelope your heart when you are not anxious of anything but pray for everything especially being the first thing you do in the morning. You might still have what to be worried about, but worries loses its power when you put God first. Say this to yourself: Father, as I prioritize You in my life, from now on, I have nothing to worry about: regardless of the bills, the struggles, and unanswered prayers, I receive Your peace like a river in Jesus' name. Amen!

IS GOD FIRST? Part 9

LightWord: “Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house..., he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.” Daniel 6:10 Again, putting God first brings peace in the middle of chaos. Many people think peace comes from having a perfect life. But biblical peace comes from having God in the center of your life. Even when everything around you feels messy. Just like Daniel: he lived in a corrupt culture surrounded by pressure and had the chance to compromise. Yet he continued putting God first daily. He prayed even when life wasn't easy and fear was unable to control him. Say this to yourself: Lord Jesus, as I put You first in all my endeavors, let me find perfect peace in You in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?.” Jeremiah 17:9 Just imagine your life as a car. For years, maybe you've been asking God to sit in the passengers' seat while you drive wherever you want. But when you put God first, you finally let Him take the wheel; and that changes the destination. You've heard the world says: follow your heart. But in our focal Scripture of today, it says, the heart can be deceptive. God doesn't call us to follow emotions, He calls us to follow Him. And the amazing thing is this: when God becomes your highest priority, everything else starts falling into proper order. Say this to yourself: Father, I surrender all to You, take over my Spirit, Soul, and Body completely in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.” Mark 1:35 Prayer simply means talking to God and then listening to Him for the day. According to our focal Scripture of today, even Jesus, our Lord and Savior, the author and the finisher of our faith do so. And because Jesus said, “Men ought always to pray…,” We know that He expects us to pray in that manner too: earlier before daytime . This will also give us peace, which becomes more valuable than popularity. In this journey of putting God First, you will discover that obedience becomes greater than comfort. Say this to yourself: Thank You, Father, because by the Light of Your Word, I found for myself strength, peace, clarity, purpose, and joy 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 Just like I said the last time, putting God first is not a one-time emotional moment. It has to be daily according to the book of Luke 9:23 . And here's what you will discover during these 30 days: strength, peace, clarity, purpose, and joy. Prayer becomes more important than entertainment. As some consider the idea of early morning prayer intimidating them, you will have interest waking up and spending limitless time with God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit before doing your own things. Say this to yourself: Thank You Jesus, because my priorities are changing, my life is changing for good in Jesus' name. Amen!
