  Speaker 1: more people so that you can help me to spread
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the gospel and change more lives. Now, in life, we
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: are often faced with many of choices. Some are easy,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: while others may be challenging. Some are insignificant, while others
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: are life-changing. Among these various choices, there exists one that
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: is of paramount importance, one decision that can significantly shape
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: our destiny. The choice of putting God first in our lives. Jesus!
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: In the book of Matthew, chapter 6, verse 33, lays
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: out a profound promise for each of us, he said.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: these things will be given to you as well. This
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: promise from our Savior tells us that when we prioritize
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: God and his kingdom in our lives, all other necessities,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: all the blessings that we seek after, will be added
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: unto us. I would like to illustrate this promise with
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: a simple analogy. Picture a towering, majestic oak tree. Its strength, beauty,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: and the life it supports are a sight to behold,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: but this mighty tree doesn't spring up overnight. It begins
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: as a small, almost insignificant seed, buried deep within the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: soil with the right care. Sunlight, water, nutrients, and most importantly, time,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: it grows. It first peaks out as a tender sprout,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: eventually reaching towards the sky, growing stronger, taller, and finally...
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: It bears fruit. Our journey of faith with God is
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: similar to this tree's growth. When we plant the seed
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: of faith in our hearts and nurture it with daily prayer, worship,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and righteous living, it blossoms. It grows into a firm
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and vibrant testimony of our unwavering commitment to God, bearing
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the fruits of the Holy Spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and self-control. The Bible presents us with many who chose
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: to prioritize God, even when circumstances seemed unfavorable, even when
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: they could not see the end of the road. One
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: such towering figure of faith is Abraham. God promised Abraham
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: that he would be the father of many nations. But
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: as years turned into decades and his wife, Sarah, remained barren,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: this promise seemed impossible. Yet Abraham chose God. He chose
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: to believe in his promise. And in due time, God
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: honored Abraham's unwavering faith. Sarah bore a son, Isaac, in
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: their old age. And through Isaac, Abraham indeed became the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: father of many nations. Then we have the story of Moses,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: a man adopted into Pharaoh's household, enjoying all the privileges
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: of Egyptian royalty. Yet, when God called him to lead
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the Israelites out of slavery, Moses chose God first. Despite
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the daunting task, despite the doubts and fears, Moses trusted God,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and as he followed God's guidance, he led them out
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: of bondage and towards the promised land. Both Abraham and
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Moses serve as powerful examples of individuals who put God first.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Their lives echo the wisdom of Proverbs 3, verse 5
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: to 6. Trust in the Lord with all your heart
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and lean not on your own understanding. In all your
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: ways submit to him, and he will make your path straight.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Now you may ask, what does it mean to put
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: God first in our lives? Firstly, to put God first
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: means to seek his will above ours. It involves turning
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to him in prayer, reading the Bible and meditating on
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: his word, and living according to his teachings. It means
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: making decisions that honor God, even when they seem challenging
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: or unpopular. Secondly, putting God first means entrusting him with
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: our lives, even when things don't go as planned. It's
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: remembering that God's plans for us are for our good,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: even when we can't see it. Thirdly, to put God
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: first means to love and serve others selflessly. In the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Gospel of Matthew, Jesus tells us that whatever we do
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: for the least of his brothers and sisters, we do
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: for him. This call to serve others is a call
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: to put God first in our lives. As we journey
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: through life, let's make the conscious decision to put God first.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Let's choose to trust in his promises. For when we
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: choose God first, we choose a journey of love, peace, righteousness,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: and joy. We choose a path that leads to divine
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: blessings beyond our understanding. Jeremiah 29 verse 11 offers us
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: a reassuring promise. For I know the plans I have
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: not to harm you, plans to give you hope and
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: a future. As we stand at the crossroads of life,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: May we have the courage and faith to choose God first,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to trust in His divine power. As we do so,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: let us remember the promise of our Savior. When we
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: seek His kingdom and His righteousness first, all other things,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: all the blessings, will be added unto us. I know
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: that choosing God first is not always easy, but it
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: is always rewarding. It's a journey of faith, a journey
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: of trust, a journey that leads us closer to Him
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and His countless blessings. So today, Let's make that decision.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Let's choose God first. Let's trust in his promises and
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: watch as his blessings follow. Praise God. May God bless
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: you all. Now let us go to God in prayer.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I want you to pray this prayer with me, either
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: by repeating the words or by saying it in your mind,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: so that you can have all the blessings of this prayer.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Let us pray. Heavenly Father, our Savior and friend, I
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: come before you today giving you thanks and praise. I
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: am thankful for your unconditional love, a love that surrounds
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: me every day, lifting me up during times of weakness
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: and comforting me in moments of distress. Thank you, Lord Jesus,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: for loving me so much that nothing in my past, present,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: or future can separate me from your love. Lord, your
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: word says that no matter what happens around me, your
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: love will never leave me. Your peace will always be
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: my portion, and you will always be with me. Mighty God,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I ask that you will guide my decisions and turn
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: my heart to deeply desire you above all else. I
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: ask that you will open doors that need to be
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: opened and close the ones that need to be shut.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Father God, I ask for your help to pursue you first,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: above every dream and above every desire. Lord, I ask
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: for your wisdom. I ask for your strength and power
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: to be constantly present within me. I pray that you
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: would make me strong and courageous for the road ahead.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Give me the ability to do beyond what I feel
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I am able to do. May your blessings flow freely
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: through me so that you will be glorified and others
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: would be drawn to you. Everlasting Father, in moments of fear, sorrow,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and confusion, remind me of your promises. You have declared
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: in your word that you plan to prosper me and
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: not to harm me, that you plan to give me
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: hope and a future. Thank you, Lord, that you desire
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: prosperity for me and not destruction. In times of uncertainty,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: help me to remember this promise and place my faith
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: in your divine plan. Abba, Father, thank you for your
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: word that breathes life into me. Thank you, Lord, that
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: anything that you bring to me will be for my good.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Thank you that Even in adversity, you can strengthen me
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: and build my character so that I can walk into
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: my purpose with readiness. Mighty God, I promise to look
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: to you for direction in areas where I am uncertain.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I seek to put you first. Each day as I
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: cross paths with different individuals, guide me to reflect your
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: love in my actions. Help me to be a beacon
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: of kindness even when faced with hostility. Help me to
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: forgive even when forgiveness is difficult. Lord, help me to
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: show my love for you and others in the way
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I treat them. I surrender all to you, Lord. My
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: moments of joy, my times of sorrow, my victories, my failures.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I choose to place you first in every aspect of
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: my life. I believe that in doing so, you will
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: shower your blessings upon me. You will grace me with peace, love,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: and joy. You will lend me strength in weakness and
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: light my path when I lose my way. In every
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: step I take, Lord, guide me. Help me to make
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: righteous decisions. I seek to choose you, not just today,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: but every single day. I am confident that when I
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: do this, when I put you first, your blessings will
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: manifest in my life in ways beyond my understanding. Thank you, Lord,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: for your love, your guidance, and your blessings. I am
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: comforted in the knowledge that you are always with me,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: watching over me, Amen. Amen. Amen. Now comment using the
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: word Amen and claim this powerful prayer. I believe in
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: the power of prayer. I pray in faith, believing and
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: expecting from the Lord. Listen to this prayer for seven
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: days and watch the Lord do miracles in your life.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Why the number seven, you may think? Seven has significant
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: meaning in the kingdom of God. It is a holy
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: number that often represents completeness, perfection or divine fulfillment. So,
