Jesus is the one who demonstrated it! It is always important to always put God where He needs to be in our life! He should be in the Throne! He should be our First in everyday. When I was a new believer I started a spiritual discipline of never going out of our house without doing my devotion for a certain hour in the morning and write down my prayer. It helped me grow in many ways! It gave me direction in a day. Daily I got amazed of how our (me and God) conversation in the morning was what I actually need for the test of that day. I was not in the ministry house yet that time. I was with my college friends and there was one day I read about patience and loving our neighbours. I used to walking from my home to my workplace and I was working with my friend. That particular morning she suggested we ride a bus and the bus did not really came so fast. I started complaining and blaming her and she started to feel guilty and tried to get a cab. Then the bus came and i did not talk to her inside and she kept on apologizing. And for some reason we kept on getting the red light in the traffic light so i took a deep breath and complained to God why now? Then i remember my devotion so I turned to Jayde and said with a smile. It's ok! Stop being sorry! Let's just pray that God helps us to be on time because our boss was so crazy about employees being late. So we did. I asked God just get us on time. The moment the bus stopped we run the fastest we could and the moment we hit the time card machine and pull out our time card it was 9am. Not too early, not late! It was EXACTLY on time. And I was very thankful God guided me. Because of the same Spiritual Discipline one of our housemates Madam Mae also came with me in the church. Brothers and Sisters no matter how busy our day can be or how late we hit the bed the night before take time to always talk to God first and listen to Him through reading His word. ☺️🙏🏻🙌🏻
Jesus is the one who showed me that before we start doing anything in a day going to our secret place and have a good conversation with God is the best on how to start a day. Despite of the busyness of the ministry of Jesus He will always start it with Him going solo to pray to the Father to seek for direction on what He needs to do in a day. It helped me grow! It's a spiritual habit that's really worth having in life. ☺️🎊🎉🙏🏻 Mark 1:35 #endOfMatthewStartofMark #matthew6:33 #HEISALWAYSFIRST Do you still remember reading in the Gospel of Matthew in chapter 26 while Jesus was foretelling to the disciples the betrayal and beginning of the fulfilment of the prophesy about the Messiah on the night of last suffer? I believe you have came across the part that Jesus said to the disciples,
"31 Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to STUMBLE because of Me this night, for it is written: ‘I will strike the SHEPHERD, And the SHEEP of the flock will be scattered.’[a] 32 But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee.” While reading that part of Jesus telling the disciples that they will be filled with fears and they will be scattered after that night of his arrest because He is their SHEPHERD and they are His sheep that reminds me of the Church leadership and Family Leadership as well. It makes a great impact to the children whenever something happened to the parents. Death, divorce, abuse or sickness. It affects the character and whole being of a child. It affects the upbringing and DESTINATION of a child. In some ways in the church as leaders let's be in ALERT and protection of Gods' WORD always everyday, because the enemy will always come bringing down the leaders first and strike the leadership first so when it trembles down the members below will be lost and scattered. Direction and decisions and guidance in most times comes from the leaders. So remember that as parents or leaders of any kind that belongs to the light you will always be the NUMBER ONE target of darkness so be of guard. The devil will come after your emotions, thoughts, relationships, goals in life, ambitions. He will try to disorient us, manipulate us and offering us some other good but harmful replacements. Stay in His presence! Stay in the light! Have a HEALTHY personal spiritual life. Seek Him first at all times. #NOTOBLINDGUIDES #notoDistractions #ImOnGuardofHisWord |
