*_Prioritizing God in Our Daily Lives: Being Good Stewards of Our Time_*

In the busyness and routines of our daily lives, it is easy to get caught up in the demands and distractions that surround us. However, it is essential that we consciously make an effort to prioritize God, His Word, and fellowship with believers. Today, let us delve into the Scriptures and explore the significance of being good stewards of our time and ensuring that our commitments do not overshadow our relationship with our Heavenly Father.

Matthew 6:33: *"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."*
Our primary focus should be on seeking God's kingdom and righteousness. By making Him the priority in our lives, we position ourselves to receive His abundant blessings and provision. Let us put God first in our daily routines and decisions.

Ephesians 5:15-16: *"See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil."*
As believers, we are called to walk in wisdom, making the most of our time. The world around us is filled with distractions and temptations, but we must consciously choose to redeem the time by investing it in activities that draw us closer to God and His purposes.

Psalm 119:11: *"Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You."*
Regularly reading and meditating on God's Word is vital for our spiritual growth and strength. It is through His Word that we gain wisdom, find guidance, and guard ourselves against sinful habits. Let us make time to immerse ourselves in Scripture, allowing it to transform our hearts and minds.

Hebrews 10:24-25: *"And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching."*
Gathering with fellow believers in corporate worship and fellowship is essential for our spiritual well-being. The church community provides support, encouragement, and opportunities for growth. Let us not neglect the assembling of ourselves together, recognizing the importance of coming together to worship and edify one another.

Psalm 34:8: *"Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!"* Making time for God is not a burden or a chore; it is an opportunity to experience His goodness and blessings. When we prioritize our relationship with Him, we open ourselves up to His love, grace, and transformative power. Let us intentionally create space in our lives to encounter God's presence.

Let us be intentional in our daily lives to make time for God, His Word, and fellowship with fellow believers. We are called to be good stewards of the time and life that God has entrusted to us. May we seek God first, redeeming the time by investing it in activities that align with His will.

As we cultivate a habit of prioritizing God, reading His Word, and participating in corporate worship, we will experience His faithfulness and draw closer to Him. Let us remember that our relationship with God is the foundation of our lives, and it is in Him that we find purpose, peace, and eternal significance.

  I Will Build My Church – Matthew 16:13-19   We are living at a very crucial time when it appears the devil has taken over the stage. All over the world, news of crises and criminal activities pervade the whole atmosphere. For those who have the spiritual insight and understanding of time, the whole arsenal of the devil is directed at the church moreso, when the coming of the Lord is nearer than before. Nevertheless, the plan and purpose of God cannot but come to pass. The Lord’s words cannot go out without being fulfilled that “…I will build my Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”. Amen.   The church, that is, the Body of Christ, does not belong to anybody hence; Jesus said “…I will build my church…” No man or woman who has by His grace become, a building block and precious stone in the Body of Christ, can lay claim to the church. We have become a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that we should show...
