Scripture: Matthew 6:26-34
Topic: Make God First In Your Life
A Pastor was at home getting ready to go to Church.
Suddenly his wife went outside to cry.
The Pastor asks his Wife… What happened?
The sad, crying Wife said: Our son just passed away.
The two walked in and saw the dead boy lying in bed.
The wife grabbed him crying that they should not go to Church first because their child in the room was dead.
But the Pastor said “We will leave the corpse and we will go to Church we have to put God first! Let’s go to Church!
The Wife was outraged and said: Our son died and we’re going to Church!
The Pastor said yes! And they left the boy in bed already dead.
In the Church, the Pastor started to preach, and the Church was well-filled that day.
At the end of the Sermon, the Pastor said: Brethren my Son is dead and started to cry.
Everyone was sad by what the Pastor said.
When the Pastor went home with the members, they were shocked to see the child alive and playing!
So they all wept for joy and praised the Lord!
MESSAGE:
Seek first the Kingdom of heaven, its righteousness, and all things shall be added to you. See Matthew 6:33.
God puts us to the test sometimes and no matter the situation we must always put Him first.
I’m sorry to ask you this question, is God first in your life?
Prayer Point:
Oh Lord God, always be the first in my life henceforth by fire, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Happy Weekend!
