When we put God first, all other things fall into their proper place or drop out of our lives. Our love of the Lord will govern the claims for our affection, the demands on our time, the interests we pursue and the order of our priorities.
When I put God first, God takes care of me and energizes me to do what really needs to be done. If you have not chosen the Kingdom of God first, it will in the end make no difference what you have chosen instead.
The road that leads to Heaven is tideous, lonely and costly in this world and few are willing to pay the price. Following Jesus involves losing your life and finding a new life in him.
When we come to Christ, we’re no longer the most important person in the world to us; Christ is. Instead of living only for ourselves, we have a higher goal: to live for Jesus. Jesus taught that your highest priority must be your relationship with Him. If anything detracts you from that relationship, that activity is not from God. God will not ask you to do something that hinders your relationship with Christ.
Following Christ isn’t something that can be done halfheartedly or on the side. It is not a label we can display when it is useful. It must be central to everything we do and are. Remember: In the end, you’re not living to impress your friends or your relatives or your coworkers. All of life is for Jesus. You’ll never come second by putting God first.
A nugget that emphasises putting God first in life. This has been scripted by blood-bought, born again and spirit -filled; Kelvin Mbiti, National Director for Phoenix Worship Community PWC whose Global Headquarters is in Arizona in the US.
