Last week, the Area Head  gave a powerful sermon about intercession. I wanted to continue in that line but the Lord drew my attention to another important subject. 

It’s what I have entitled, first things first. Set your priorities right. 

Today there’s a lot of burdens on many people.

What’s the kingdom of God, where can we find it, what is the Bible talking about. 

The first message Jesus started to preach the kingdom of God, the gospel.

It’s all about the kingdom. 

Even the parables of Jesus talks about the kingdom. One parable talks about a man who once saw a treasure hidden in a piece of land, He sold all he had and bought the land. That’s how valuable the kingdom of God is. 

Even in the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus taught the disciples to say, ‘Thy kingdom come’ 

Every king would want to extend his territory. That’s what made the Great Britain colonize Ghana. Today, there’s the commonwealth and the commonwealth Nations where all countries that were colonized by the Britain are part of. 

When God created man, He gave him dominion and power over the earth. 

God created us to have authority; that is why today a politician can kill a fellow human being to have power. 

Now, the devil also wanted to have power over the earth, this made him deceive Eve in the garden of Eden. 

That’s how the devil got possession of the earth, this kingdom.

The Bible admonishes us to seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness first. 

John Wesley made this quotation.

Man cannot do anything without God, 

The second part of the quote is striking.

God will not do anything without man 

God has raised us from darkness, we are now Princes and Princesses so we shouldn’t be afraid of witches.

I have never seen a witch before. If there is any here, come and see me after church.

Witches and wizards have no power over us.

We have power as children of God.

When we look for the Kingdom and his righteousness and every other thing will be added to you.

Seek God in everything you do. 

Prayer

Thank God for his word.

Today’s word tells us we have power over every circumstance.

Thank Him for this word
