GOD WANTS TO BE NUMBER ONE IN YOUR LIFE (Thursday, 14th May 2026)
Text for Today: John 8:25-32 “And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.” (vs. 40).
Have you ever loved someone or something so much that you could not bear to see another with that person? That is jealousy. God is a jealous God, He desires so much of our time, love and energies that He cannot bear for us to be with another. Beloved, I want you to know that, jealousy is possessive and protective; it could be good or bad. God’s jealousy – His possessiveness of His people is a good thing; He protects us from being plucked out of His hand. God wants a relationship with you, and if He sees that you’re relying on another person to do what only He can, He often finds a way to end that relationship as it once was. Instead of being resentful that God is jealous, we should be thankful that He is like that. It shows He cares.
Each time a man replaces God with something else in his life, he begins to struggle and toil with no solution in sight. God wants to be number one in your life and when He is not, there is no way things can work right for you. I hear many people praying to God to bless their plans and purpose, but I like to say this, instead of asking Him to bless your purpose and plan why don’t you ask Him to give you His purpose and plans for your life, because when His purpose becomes yours, He will do everything to protect and see to it that the purpose speaks. Have you ever wondered why Jesus never had a stressful period all through His ministry on earth, it is all because He was doing God’s purpose. John 8:29 “… I always do those things that are pleasing unto Him”.
You are a champion!
Further study: Malachi 3:5-12.
