GET YOUR PRIORITIES RIGHT IN THIS LIFE

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED.

DATE: THURSDAY 29th JULY

TOPIC: GET YOUR PRIORITIES RIGHT IN THIS LIFE

TEXT: Matthew 6:25-34

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

Don't be careless with life. It is dangerous for your soul. Some circumstances come upon some people and make them lose hope and begin to live carelessly as if all is lost. This should not be so.

One of such circumstances is widowhood. Widowhood should not make you lose your focus in life as a Christian. If you have the right orientation about life, you will discover that even in your widowhood, you can live better for God and serve God better

Are you ready to live for Jesus? Are you ready to take widowhood as a higher divine calling? Do you want to escape hell and go to heaven? Then get your priorities right!

Some wrong priorities beset widows. One of such is the passionate desire for marriage. Scripturally, a widow or widower doesn't need to remarry before life can go on.

Corinthians 7:27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.  But it is not also a sin to remarry even though there is something higher than marriage.

1 Corinthians 7:28  But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you. If your body burns for sex it is better to remarry than to continue to burn in sin

(1 Corinthians 7:7-9).  Even under that circumstance, it is still not a top priority because you could even marry the wrong person who will lead you away from God.

Money is another preoccupation of people at the expense of eternal life. Truly all of us need money because money answereth all things, yet money should not be the priority of your life. Some turn themselves into prostitutes sleeping about with men for money. This should not be so.

Mark 8:36, For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Everybody needs food to survive yet, food is not the top priority of life. Some have even turned themselves into traditional beggars because of food, moving from house to house. Make God the provider of your daily bread and keep your honour. Make God, heaven and eternal life the priorities of your life.

Thought for the day: Get your priorities right for the salvation of your soul...

Song for the day: Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness….

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 56-58;
Acts 28:1-15. #Horemow

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
