THE GOD-FIRST MENTALITY

OVERVIEW
SCRIPTURE:  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. – Matthew 6:33.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: To be interested in the interests of God is to be treasured by God. You cannot put God first and come last in life.

The God-first mentality is the mentality that makes God the number one priority of one’s existence.

It is the mentality that places Kingdom priority ahead of personal priorities. So, when God sees a person who is more passionate about His Kingdom than his or her personal pursuits, He baptizes such a person with the mantle needed to impact his or her generation.

To be interested in the interests of God is to be treasured by God. You cannot put God first and come last in life.

The reason many people crash in life is that they lack the God-first mentality. It is one thing to be blessed by God and it is another thing to realize continuously that God is your Blesser. When you earn money, what do you do with it first? It determines whether or not you have a God-first mentality.

Beloved, in your life’s assignments and endeavours, make up your mind to exist with the God-first mentality. Let God be the centre of your existence.

I prophesy on you the impartation of a God-first mentality in Jesus’ Name.

Remember This: To be interested in the interests of God is to be treasured by God. You cannot put God first and come last in life.
 
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Make tithe payment your number one priority each time money enters your hand.
2. Disengage from anyone or anything that wants to take the place of God in your life.
