OPENING PRAYER
Awesome Creator and Father, we are granted by Your will and Grace the privilege of sojourning on this earth for a very short period of time. Through the 70, 80, or 90 plus years allotted, remove the scales on our eyes so as to see clearly the words YOU wrote on our hearts long before we were created. Grant us an addiction to place You and the Kingdom First and foremost in all our routines. We pray in the name of Jesus the Christ, AMEN
MESSAGE
We learn, --sometimes subliminally,-- how things are properly ordered, that is to say, this piece comes first, and that next section is inserted, and the other thing is attached last. Auto mechanics, aircraft pilots, doctors, lawyers, even tax collectors all have a routine and a special order of function that they all use to accomplish the task at hand. To mix up some of these tried and tested check list orders can really impede progress or even result in injury and death!
The manner, order, and priorities in the conduct of our lives was, and is, and will always be directed and commanded by Almighty God. Imagine our Lord and Creator as the Master Conductor of our eternal celestial orchestra. As he moves the baton, we quickly examine the Holy Scripts that lie open on our fleshly music stands. We apply the notes with exactness following the movement of His mighty will.
The music ---as it flows through the whole church ---causes the ground to rumble with the low frequencies, and birds to take flight when hearing the highs.
In the harmony of a billion perfectly pitched notes, a single sour, misplaced, or out of tune instrument or player can ruin the whole performance. The whole of the order, from tune-up to the final bow is vital to the whole kingdom. Always seek the Kingdom first!
Do not be anxious then, saying, 'what shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or with what shall we clothe ourselves? For all these things the Gentiles eagerly seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. {Mat 6: 31-34 NASB}
SUMMARY
It is by divine design that all of our fleshly en devours and trails we follow leads back to one common power that surpasses all others and is so very under utilized. The power of prayer is the very act that initiates communication with the Supreme Creator of the Universe. It is through prayer that we seek and we find His Kingdom, and become immediate witness to His righteousness, His glory.
We have been taught from Sunday School that prayer always comes before any important undertaking. Even before meals. We should pray upon rising in the morning, with a continuing monologue with Jesus and a concluding prayer of thanksgiving at the hour of sleep. The more you communicate with the Lord, the more He fills you with HIM. To be filled to the brim with the living Holy Spirit is the goal we all should be pursuing.
Prayer combined with Holy Scripture forms this unbreakable bond, through Jesus the Christ, that paves the way to the Kingdom; Then [Jesus] lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said: "Blessed are you poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God." {Luk 6:20 NKJV}
Seek the Kingdom FIRST, and FIRST in Prayer; Jesus said in John 3:3, NKJV: "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God."
In our daily lives, pursuing our routine and not so routine activities, let us all be ever so committed to pray FIRST and seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these other things will be added to you.
Our routines become habits. Habits do not form quickly, and don't go away without great effort. Retrain yourself and develop a habit to ALWAYS SEEK THE KINGDOM FIRST, today, tomorrow and forever!
CLOSING PRAYER
O' Holy Spirit that resides in us, guide us, we pray, to be consistent and with Holy purpose to habitually seek Your favor in all that we do. From the moment we stir from our slumber in the mornings to the closing prayers at bed time, lead us, O Lord, grant us the words that only our souls can utter, and cause us to be addicted to this Holy routine each and every day. In the name of Jesus the Christ, AMEN.
DOXOLOGY
Praise God, from Whoatm all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creures here below;
Praise Him above, Ye heaven-ly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Amen
THE CALL
If you have never invited Jesus to be your Lord and savior, or, if you have in the past yet remain unsure of salvation and forgiveness of sin, Please pray with me now: Lord Jesus I need to fill a hole in my life that follows me where ever I go. I am a long-time Sinner and I CONFESS and REPENT of all my sins. I believe that You JESUS are the Lord, that you were hung on a cross and died. I believe that you were raised back to life by God, Your Father, ascended into heaven and presently sit at the right hand of The Almighty. Please come into me, clean me, take me and make me Yours and let me serve from this day forward and forever, Thank-You Jesus, AMEN
If you sincerely prayed with me, your salvation has been assured. {Rom 10:9 KJV} -That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Waste no time in finding like minded folks, to fellowship with, who also know the lord Jesus. Be introduced to a church that preaches the BIBLE. Email me. Begin the journey that you will never tire of; the discovery of the Majesty, Beauty and loving Power of Jesus the Christ. Welcome to the family!
