Luke 4:42-44 When it was day He departed and went into a remote place. And searching for Him, the people came to Him and tried to prevent Him from leaving them. 43 But He said to them, “I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also, for this is why I was sent.” 44 And He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
Where is your priority? Where should it be? Has God given you a purpose in life? Of course He has! Are you operating in it? Where are you concerning that which God has assigned to your hands?
Jesus made spending time in communication with the Father in prayer, His #1 priority. He could not fulfill the purpose of the Father without communication with Him.
How about you and I? Are we doing that? Are we conversing with the Father everyday?
Have you ever heard the saying: only what you do for Christ will last? Well, that is a true saying!
Believe it or not, GOD MUST BECOME THE #1 PRIORITY IN YOUR LIFE!
Anything or anyone you place as first in your life above God is called an ‘”IDOL.” God himself declares in Exodus 20:3 "You must not have any other god but me.
What does Christ say our priority should be? He gave us some help in Matthew 6:33-To seek first the kingdom of God. To live our lives with eternity in mind.
Jesus knew His purpose and kept it as His #1 priority. He told us His purpose for coming to earth. Let’s listen: “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free” (Lk. 4:18, NIV).
Jesus earthly mission was accomplished and now He is seated in heaven at the right hand of God the Father, making intercessions for those who have made the "CHOICE" to make Him their #1 priority.
I want to leave you with this thought: God has gifted each of us with unique gifts for us to use to glorify Him and build up His kingdom on earth. Are we operating in them?
It is time to get our priority in order!
God bless.
