"Then you shall say to Pharaoh, thus says the Lord: 'Israel is My son, My firstborn. So I say to you, let My son go that he may serve Me. But if you refuse to let him go, indeed I will kill your son, your firstborn.'” Exodus 4.22-23
God demands to have the first place in our lives because He treats us as first priority in a relationship with Him. The firstborn is the eldest son who, in practice, assumes all the authority of the father in the family leadership. Firstborn means first child ...
GOD IS FAMILY. FIRSTBORN IS THE FIRST CHILD IN THE FAMILY OF GOD.
God treats us in such a special way! Its just so terrible when we don't put Him in the first place in our lives. He has saved my life on at least 3 occasions that I know about so I can't not keep Him in first place. Its a daily battle but I will overcome!
ReplyDeleteHello Mrs Eater, is amazing how God really love us he pick us up from no where and he crown us with crown of life he wants the best for us. Making us his first-born is a privileged to have. We too must show him that will appreciate him by loving him back making him our number one of our priority.
ReplyDeleteGod count on the firstborn to honour him. In each family, there is always one person that will get to know God. Jacob, Joseph, Gideon, there are the fist born.
ReplyDeleteI am the firstborn, in order wore God gave us the authority to change thing around.
Thank you Mrs Ester for this message. God loves us so much that he place us first priority. This is so great. I have to sacrifice daily to make sure that God remains first place in live
ReplyDeleteGood Afternoon Mrs Esther,
ReplyDeleteI'm sitting here thinking about the above, and the verse in Luke come to my mind.....
“Which of you fathers, if your son asks for[f] a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
He is our greatest Father, He puts us first always, that's why indeed He left us with the greast Gift! We are His number one Princess :-)
Thanks Mrs Esther. Kisses
Neeka
Good afternoon Mrs Ester,
ReplyDeleteThis is very strong. Even though we often say that God is first place in our lives, the opposite is often true because the devil brings so many distractions and we end up being blinded by them, and just because we aren't sinning, we say God comes first. I myself have neglected God so many times and am so grateful for this 21 days to get another chance to really put Him above everything else!
God has already commanded and threatened Pharaoh (satan) to let His first child go, therefore if we are still in the hands of pharaoh (satan) that means its because we are not making ourselves God's first child, meaning to put Him first in everything.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Lately God has been showing me just how much he loves me, cares for me and how special I am in His eyes, despite my mistakes! It is humbling me to give God the same treatment and recongition, by putting Him first in everything and spending quality time with Him.
