https://ohholyjesus.org/videos/watch/f8841d62-b155-4aaf-88c9-e4765987192f God’s Word is the answer—and when we put God first, everything else begins to fall into order. In this powerful teaching, Pastor Paula White-Cain teaches the biblical principle of seeking first the Kingdom of God and how aligning your life with God’s priorities opens the door to provision, victory, and abundance. Through Scripture, real-life testimony, and practical wisdom, you’ll learn why first things govern what follows, and how beginning your year with prayer, fasting, giving, and intentional living positions you for spiritual growth and breakthrough. This message unpacks Matthew 6:33 and the principle of first fruits, revealing how God’s presence must be our priority in every area of life—faith, family, finances, marriage, career, and purpose. Pastor Paula also outlines the three requirements for real change—desire, intention, and persistence—and explains why resistance often shows up right before manifestation. This message will challenge you to live on purpose, overcome fear and anxiety, and trust God through opposition, knowing that setbacks are not failure but preparation for victory. If you’re believing God for transformation, breakthrough, and a life built on His promises, this message will encourage you to realign, refocus, and recommit to putting God first. 🔑 Key Points: ☑️ God’s Word works when we put Him first ☑️ The principle of first fruits: what is first governs the rest ☑️ “Seek first the Kingdom of God” (Matthew 6:33) ☑️ God meets our everyday needs when we trust Him ☑️ Three essentials for change: Desire, Intention, Persistence ☑️ Living intentionally shapes your direction and outcomes ☑️ Persistence is required because victory comes with resistance ☑️ Opposition is often proof that progress is happening ☑️ Worship is a lifestyle, not just a Sunday activity ☑️ God must be first in marriage, family, finances, and purpose ☑️ When first things are put first, second things increase 🔔 Stay connected with us!
