in the Journey of Life there is a profound truth that can transform our entire existence when we align our hearts with God's purpose Miracles unfold in ways we never imagined my friends today we will go on a journey of Discovery and renewal we'll explore the extraordinary power of putting God first in every aspect of Our Lives I am also going to pray a powerful prayer with you in the mighty name of Jesus so watch until the end and open your hearts to receive the blessings of this prayer let us Begin by reflecting on the words
of Zephaniah 3 verse 17 the Lord your God in your midst the mighty one will save he will rejoice over you with gladness he will quiet you with his love he will rejoice over you with singing this verse reveals the deep personal love God has for each of us when we put him first we open ourselves to experience this profound love and care now I will share with you three transformative perspectives that will ignite your faith and Propel you towards a life of purpose and fulfillment number one the Divine Alignment of life my friends when
we put God first we step into a remarkable reality we become part of a grand divine plan where everything falls into place this doesn't mean life becomes easy or free from challenges rather it means that even the challenges serve a greater purpose let's consider the words of Romans 8 verse 28 and we know that all things work together for good to those who love God to those who are called according to his purpose this verse reveals the beautiful Harmony that emerges when we prioritize God it assures us that every circumstance good or bad is woven
into his Perfect Design when we put God first we gain A New Perspective On Life's ups and downs we begin to see how each experience shapes us and prepares us for what's ahead the frustrations that once seemed pointless now reveal valuable lessons the detours that appeared to delay us actually guide us to unexpected blessings my dear friends this Divine Alignment touches every aspect of our lives in our relationships we find that the right people enter our lives at the perfect time some stay for a season others for a lifetime each playing a crucial role in
our journey even the painful endings and disappointing encounters serve a purpose they teach us refine us and often redirect us towards better paths in our careers we discover that our skills and passions align in unexpected ways doors open and close guiding us towards the work we're truly meant to do what one seemed like setbacks become Stepping Stones to New Opportunities consider the words of Proverbs 16 ver9 a man's heart plans his way but the Lord directs his steps this verse reminds us that while we may make plans God's guidance supersedes them when we put him
first we allow space for his Superior Direction in our lives we learn to hold our plans Loosely remaining open to Divine redirection this flexibility allows us to flow with God's perfect timing and placement my friends putting God first also brings Clarity to our decision- making we gain wisdom that goes beyond human understanding choice P that once seemed complex become clear as we align with God's will we find ourselves making decisions that may not make sense in the moment but later reveal themselves to be pivotal turning points in our journey this Divine Alignment extends to our
personal growth and character development we find that the right challenges appear at the right time to stretch and strengthen us our weaknesses become opportunities for God's power to shine through even our mistakes and failures Fallen twice as valuable learning experiences let's reflect on the words of Ecclesiastes 3:1 he has made everything beautiful in its time also he has put eternity in their hearts except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end this verse speaks to the perfect timing of God's work in our lives when we put God first
we sink ourselves with his Divine timeline we learn to trust his timing even when things seem delayed or out of order my dear friends this Divine Alignment doesn't mean we become passive observers rather we become active participants in step with God we learn to discern his leading and step out in faith when he calls us to action we find the courage to say yes to opportunities that align with his purposes and the wisdom to say no to things that might distract us from his plan this alignment brings a deep sense of peace and purpose to
our lives we no longer feel the need to control every aspect of our journey instead we trust in the one who sees the bigger picture consider the words of Isaiah 55: 8-9 for my thoughts are not your thoughts nor are your ways my ways says the Lord for as the heavens are higher than the earth so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts these verses remind us of God's superior wisdom and perspective when we put him first we tap into this Divine Insight we begin to see how seemingly unrelated
events connect in meaningful ways how apparent obstacles become gateways to unexpected blessings my friends as everything falls into place we discover a life of adventure and purpose we find ourselves in the right place at the right time again and again not by chance but by Divine Design we become part of stories bigger than ourselves impacting lives in ways we never imagine this doesn't mean we won't face difficulties or moments of uncertainty but we Face them with confidence knowing that even these fit into God's perfect plan we learn to embrace every season knowing each has its
unique purpose and Beauty my friends let's remember that this Divine Alignment is a journey it requires daily surrender trust and alignment with God's will but as we consistently put him first we'll witness the beautiful unfolding of his plan we'll see how everything truly everything falls into place in his perfect time number two redefining Success Through divine perspective my friends when we put God first we go on a journey that radically redefines success the world often measures achievement by wealth status or power but God's economy operates on entirely different principles let's consider the words of Philippians
3: 8 yet indeed I also count all things lost for the Excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish that I may gain Christ this verse challenges our conventional understanding of gain and loss it suggests that knowing Christ surpasses all worldly accomplishments when we put God first we begin to see Success Through This Divine lens our priorities shift and our definition of a life well-lived transforms success becomes less about what we accumulate and more about who we become it's measured
not by our bank balance but by the depth of our character not by our social media following but by the genuiness of our relationships not by our career achievements but by our faithfulness in small daily acts of obedience my dear friends this redefinition doesn't mean we abandon ambition or hard work instead it infuses our efforts with eternal purpose and significance our goals become aligned with God's heart for Humanity we start to see our talents and resources as tools for Kingdom building this shift in perspective brings a profound sense of fulfillment and joy we're no longer
chasing after fleeting Pleasures or temporary accolades our Focus turns to Pursuits that have lasting impact and eternal value consider the words of Jeremiah 9: 23- 24 thus says the Lord let not the wise man glory in his wisdom let not the Mighty Man glory in his might nor let the rich man glory in his rich but let him who glories glory in this that he understands and knows me that I am the Lord exercising loving kindness judgment and righteousness in the Earth for in these I Delight says the Lord these verses highlight what truly matters
in God's eyes it's not our intelligence strength or wealth that impresses him rather it's our understanding and knowledge of his character when we put God first we align ourselves with his values we begin to exercise loving kindness judgment and righteousness in our daily lives this alignment becomes the true measure of our success my friends this redefinition of success impacts every area area of our lives in our careers we no longer simply climb the corporate ladder instead we seek to be Salt and Light in our workplaces we strive for excellence not for personal Glory but as
an act of worship our measure of professional success becomes how we've positively influenced others how we've demonstrated Integrity in challenging situations how we've used our position to advocate for justice and compassion in our relationships success is redefined as well it's not about having the most friends or the perfect family rather it's about depth authenticity and Selfless Love we measure success by how well we've reflected God's love to others by the Forgiveness we've extended and the Grace we've received by the way we've supported others in their Journey of Faith even our approach to personal growth takes
on new meaning success isn't just about self-improvement or acquiring new skills it's about growing in christlikeness and bearing the fruit of the spirit we measure progress by our increasing capacity to love our deepening patience by our growing ability to find joy in all circumstances my dear friends this Divine perspective on success brings Freedom we're no longer bound by sociey Ever Changing standards of achievement we find Liberation in pursuing God's unchanging purposes this doesn't mean life becomes easy or free from challenges in fact putting God first often leads us down Paths of difficulty and sacrifice but
we Face these challenges with a new sense of purpose and peace we understand that true success often comes through trials and perseverance let's reflect on the words of James 1:12 blessed is the man who endures Temptation for when he has been approved he will receive the Crown of Life which the Lord has promised to those who love him this verse reframes our struggles as opportunities for growth and blessing when we put God first even our trials become Stepping Stones to True success we begin to welcome challenges as chances to deepen our faith and character this
perspective shift doesn't just impact our personal lives it changes how we view success in our communities and Society at large we start to measure progress not just by economic indicators but by how well we're caring for the vulnerable and marginalized by how effectively we're stewarding our Natural Resources by the level of Justice compassion and unity in our societies my friends when we put God first we tap into a source of lasting fulfillment we discover that true success is found in aligning our lives with his purposes in becoming conduits of his love wisdom and righteousness in
the world this journey of redefinition is ongoing requiring daily choices and realignments but as we consistently prioritize God we find ourselves on a path of true success a path that leads not just to personal fulfillment but to a life of Eternal impact and number three the power of divine influence my friends when we put God first we encounter a beautiful truth about power and influence instead of equating influence with assertiveness dominance or control in God's kingdom we operate on an entirely different principle let's consider the words of Matthew 20 verse 26 yet it shall not
be so among you but whoever desires to become great among you let him be your servant this verse turns our understanding of power upside down it suggests that true greatness comes through service not domination when we prioritize God we start to embrace this unconventional path to True influence we discover that our greatest impact comes not from exerting our will over others but from humbly serving and elevating those around us this shift in perspective transforms how we interact with the world we no longer seek positions of power for personal gain or recognition instead we view every
role as an opportunity to serve and make a positive difference my dear friends this Divine influence manifests in surprising ways we find that our words carry more weight when we speak less but listen more our actions have greater impact when motivated by love rather than self-interest we discover that true strength often lies in vulnerability and authenticity consider the words of second Corinthians 12:9 and he said to me my grace is sufficient for you for my strength is made perfect in weakness therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities that the power of Christ
May rest upon me this verse reveals another aspect of divine influence it's in acknowledging our weaknesses that we tap into God's strength when we put God first we no longer feel the need to project an image of perfection we become comfortable with our limitations knowing they create space for God's power this honesty and humility make us more relatable and influential people are drawn to our authenticity and the evident work of God in our lives my friends this approach to influence extends beyond our personal interactions it shapes how we engage with broader societal issues and challenges
we begin to see that lasting change doesn't come through force or manipulation but through persistent loving action and unwavering commitment to truth and Justice we become agents of transformation not through loud proclamations but through consistent Christlike behavior in every aspect of Our Lives this Divine influence also impacts how we handle conflicts and disagreements we learn that true Victory often comes through forgiveness and Reconciliation not through winning arguments of proving others wrong we find the courage to stand firm in our convictions while respecting differing views our goal shifts from being right to fostering understanding and unity
let's reflect on the words of Proverbs 15:1 a soft answer turns away wrath but a harsh word stirs up anger this verse reflects the quiet yet profound power of God's influence when we put God first we learn to respond to hostility with kindness we discover that gentleness can be more persuasive than forceful rhetoric this doesn't mean we become passive or avoid addressing important issues rather we engage with a spirit of Love wisdom and respect we become Bridge builders in a world often divided by fear and misunderstanding my dear friends Divine influence also transforms our leadership
style whether in our families workplaces or communities we lead by example we Inspire others not through intimidation found ation or Force but by demonstrating Integrity compassion and sacrificial love we become servant leaders prioritizing the growth and well-being of those we lead this approach may not always be appreciated or understood initially but over time its impact becomes undeniable and deeply transformative consider the words of First Peter 5 verse 2:3 Shepherd the flock of God which is among you serving as overseers not by compulsion but willingly not for dishonest gain but eagerly nor is being Lords over
those entrusted to you but being examples to the flock these verses outline a Leadership Model based on service and exemplary living when we put God first we naturally gravitate towards this style of influence we find joy in nurturing others and helping them reach their full potential our influence grows not through self-promotion but through the positive change we Inspire in others my friends embracing this Divine influence requires courage and Faith it often means going against the grain of societal norms and expectations we may be be misunderstood or even criticized for our approach but as we consistently
put God first the fruits of this Divine influence become evident we see relationships healed communities transformed and lives changed we discover that our seemingly small acts of service can have far-reaching impact that our quiet consistency speaks louder than any Grand gesture this Divine influence reminds us that God's ways are higher than our ways that his definition of power and impact often contradicts worldly wisdom when we align ourselves with his principles we tap into a source of influence far greater than ourselves we become channels of his love wisdom and transformative power in the world my dear
friends let's remember that this journey is ongoing requiring daily choices and realignments but as we consistently prioritize God we find ourselves becoming powerful agents of positive change not through our own strength or wisdom but through the power of divine influence now to all those within the sound of my voice let us go to the Lord in prayer I want you to pray this prayer with me or listen to this prayer in faith so that you can have all the blessings of this prayer let us pray to our gracious and loving God Heavenly Father creator of
