Scriptures And Prayers To Put God First In Our Lives – By Iwalola(Lola) Ademodi

~ Let us stay focused on who He is and put our God first this week, and at all times.

Beloved, it is God’s desire that we put Him first in our lives because He is worthy.

Therefore, we are to do everything in His name.

The Word of God is very clear about where God should be in the priorities of our lives.

Jesus said in Matthew 6:33 AMP…

“But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.”

Colossians 3:17 AMP encourages us…

“Whatever you do [no matter what it is] in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus [and in dependence on Him], giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”

Matthew 22:37 AMP

“And Jesus replied to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.”

God commanded in Deuteronomy 6:5-6 AMP…

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and mind and with all your soul and with all your strength [your entire being]. These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be [written] on your heart and mind.”
