I'm sorry this is the message for Friday Jan.2, 2015..I didn't send it to this site yesterday.
The Living Word for the Beloved Children of God - First Things First !
The first thing that came out of my mouth when I woke up. It was thank you Lord, what is your will for me today, not my will? We all have a to do list at the beginning of the year. The first thing on my list 2015, is to seek God's face in every area of my life and to plant my first fruits offering for the first month. Also, to do what I was called to do, preach and teach about the Kingdom of God at hand. When you decide to serve God with your whole heart and make Him first in your life, your soul will prosper and then joy and peace will increase in your life. Remember to lean on Him more than anything else in your life, and tell Him, “God, I want to do your will, but I can’t do it without" Your Word.” Understand this the Holy Spirit will guide and lead you. It's written in Genesis 17:1-2, And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. And I
will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. Did you notice that God instructed Abraham to be habitual in walking with Him and living for Him. We can do this by establishing daily habits of prayer, worship,and daily time spent in His Word. Our Heavenly Father loves us, so much that He sent His One and Only Son to lay down His life for us.The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. It's in John 10:10, The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Jesus’ life was characterized by submission to the Father’s will, service to others, and prayer. Jesus said, Follow Me! For it is written in 1 Peter 2:21,For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps. It is interesting to note that Jesus never pursued worldly ambition in any way and never pursued the glory of this world. There was only one goal that He considered worthy of all, the will of the Father. Let us start this year off with putting first things in its rightful place. The Book of Haggai, the second shortest in the Old Testament,message: Put first things first. It was written to people like us, who would say that God must be first. But they had drifted away from this truth. Haggai points out a sobering reminder: What happens in your heart affects every other part of your life. Because the people had pushed God out of the center of everything, they suffered in every area. Heavenly Father forgive us for turning away from your face, doing things our own way. For we thank you for giving us a new season to seek your face. For it is written in Matthew 6:33, But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
