St. Mathew 6:33 – But seek ye first the kingdom of God and all of his righteousness, and all of these things will be added unto you.
St. Matthew 22:37 -Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
Topic: Giving Christ First Place
Subtopic: If Christ is not first place in your life- what is?
We must Never be too busy to Put God first.
God must be the Priority Everyday and Before Everything!
Mat 6:25 25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?
There are so many things in our lives that divert our attention from putting Christ first. Jesus was not saying that what we eat drink or wear is not important. He simply stressed that we need not worry about them. These concerns must not have first place in our lives.

Mat 6:26-27 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[a]?
GOD’S PROMISE is OUR CHOICE- ST. MATTHEW 6:33 - But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, (HIS WORD) and all these things will be given to you as well.
THESE THINGS – VS 25- food, drink, clothing – and what it will take to obtain these THINGS.
Jesus teaches us not to worry about the things of life. Worry is different from being concerned. God wants us to be concerned about others, situations, what is happening in your life and your relationships with others. Pray about those things, but don’t worry and fret over them. If the situation is one over which you have no control give it to God- He does have control.
God wants us to invest our emotional energies on spiritual priorities, rather then wasting it on worrying. Instead of worrying we can be praying, reading the bible, exercising witnessing or serving Him!
God’s Kingdom is manifested on earth when HIS WILL is being executed in our lives! Our motto ought to be BRING DOWN THE KINGDOM THROUGH MY LIFE!
This, then, is how you should pray:
" 'Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
11Give us today our daily bread.
12Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.[a]'
" 'Our Father in heaven,
