“Man was created to rule things; and not to pursue things.” Myles Munroe

What precious thing are you searching for?

First things should come first.

We shouldn’t expect God to do His part if we are not willing to do our part.

There is always a consequence to each of our choices in life.

Deuteronomy 28:1-14

“If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you…”

What you ask for will always be fulfilled as long as you remain in God’s will.

John 15:7

Vs. 14 “You are my friends if you do what I command…”

We cannot arm-twist God to fit into our agenda!

John 15: 14-16

What are you going to make your priority? Are you ready to pay the cost?

We have a responsibility to choose where we want to stand, walk and sit.

A determined mind is essential to remain on track.

Psalms 1:1-3

If we take care of the kingdom, the King will take care of our affairs- big and small.

Nothing we give up for the kingdom is ever lost!

Luke 18:28-30
