God First Sis. Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran

Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well (Matthew 6:33).
Any effort taken towards seeking God’s righteousness would not only provide spiritual enrichment but also elevate you to fulfill God’s purpose in your life.  The Bible says that Jesus is your righteousness (1Corinthians 1:30).  If God is your priority in everything, through meditating His word and prayer in faith, you will prosper in all that you do (Psalm 1:2, 3).  Jeremiah 17:7 says, “Blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.”  Here is the testimony of Dr. Neelima Heranz from Ranchi, Jharkhand (India) where she shares her experience about how she was blessed abundantly by making God her priority:

“I was privileged to attend the Jesus Calls Bhilai Prayer Festival. Sister Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran was praying and leading us to receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit. At that time, I received the Holy Spirit for the very first time.  I experienced a cool breeze and spoke in unknown tongues.  From that day on, my life was transformed. By God’s grace, I serve as a voluntary prayer warrior in the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower in Ranchi. Along with that, I started Esther Prayer Group and doing my ministry as Jesus Calls Ambassador. Both of my daughters got the privilege of studying in Karunya. We were troubled each day because we did not have a house. In this situation, I went to Bethesda Prayer Centre (Karunya, Coimbatore) and prayed. On the very same day, from my husband’s office in Bhilai, the Lord had prepared for us an accommodation in the employee quarters. We were overwhelmed with immeasurable joy! Followed by that, I received the “Best Teacher Award” from the college where I work.  Thereafter, I became the Head of the Department and was also promoted to become the Dean of that college. The Lord has given me an opportunity to pray for the students and teachers in my college. In this way, the Lord has blessed our family in an immense manner.  We thank the Lord.”

Beloved, seek first God’s kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well (Matthew 6:33).  You will never know the full reward of obedience until you put God first. His promise of hope, “With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity” (Proverbs 8:18) will crown you richly. Just analyze whether God is ruling your life and your family. Come to Him where all blessings are stored.
Prayer:
Dear Lord,

Today, You take over my life.  I choose to seek You with all diligence and bring my family to your fold. Help us to meditate on Your imperishable words.  Lead us in Your path. Teach us the profitable ways.  Bless my family and let us be a blessing to others.  In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
