GOD First


The foundation for something and anything having a higher significance than others in the same class is regarded as first. For everyone in this life, there is always the first thing required.  So, who is first in your own life?  Please, note that the first is the most important. 

First in anybody’s life is what directs the person’s life. It is the initiation of every ending which usually starts from the heart (mind).  Anything you want to do at all is expected to be screened by your mind which is subjected to a controller.

Everyone is advised to dedicate his heart to the LORD God who is the sole creator of the universe.  The LORD is greater than all other gods.  His name is JEHOVAH and there is no God like Him.  HE is neither equal nor comparable to anyone, power or conception at all.  HE is not to be provoked so as to avoid HIS anger.  The LORD’S anger is not what anyone can withstand.  It is very unbearable.  A typical example is that of the Sodom and Gomorrah recorded in the Holy Bible.  Just as this present world is being warned, they were also warned about their choice of who should be first their lives.  It should be no longer new to us that the LORD does not change; HE does not lie; and HE does whatever HE says would do.  Darkness does not cover from Him.

God is a holy being to whom devotion and prayer are addressed. Make GOD and His kingdom first in whatever you do.  This is to check whether it is against His commandments or not and to have a smooth operation backed by beneficial fruitfulness.  Rely on GOD and not on your own knowledge and understanding in whatsoever you do.  Whoever has his mind and trust in the LORD would be kept in perfect peace.  The LORD always goes before HIS children and makes things right for them.  He who does not hold on to the LORD God is given to a less-valuable mind of which damnation awaits.

If there is anything you do at all that is against the LORD’S commandments, desist right away and watch Him dwell with you as you are contrite in heart and humble in your spirit.  Fear the LORD and He will show you His might and secrets.  Seek God’s system of things first and His righteousness, then shall all things be provided, hence work together for your good.  Make GOD first in whatever you do.  There is nothing too hard for our LORD God.
