Let Christ Have Preeminence

From our Pastor's Desk

We get busy and pre-occupied by many things, physically, mentally and spiritually, it’s a common way of life.
There are so many things that clamor for our attention and devotion: pursuit of happiness, pursuit of money, relationships, our jobs, our children, our spouses, our hobbies, etc—all the demands and distractions of life.

And we have to be careful not to let them become more important or more of a priority than our relationship with God. All these pursuits could be good, even noble but each only becomes a problem when God, or the things of God, gets pushed aside instead.

The desire of God is to be the preeminent occupant of our lives. Jesus tells us: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment” (Matthew 22:37-38).

When we give God the place of highest honor in our hearts, we will also put Him
first in our lives. We will offer Him the very best we have. And we will find joy in serving the Lord, instead of experiencing it as drudgery.

When you decide to serve God with your whole heart and make Him first in your
life, your soul will prosper and your joy and peace will increase.

We will allow Him to occupy our lives; our spaces. We won’t let anything or anyone
take the place of God in our lives, and as we maintain God as our focus, He will turn us to be a focus among men, in Jesus Name.

You will have good success this 2018.
Remain blessed. Shalom.
