“MAKE ME FIRST!” Do you remind yourself often, what’s the reason you’re coming to the Lord? Colossians 1:27; To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Is it his image and likeness? Genesis 1:26; And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Your future? Galatians 2:20; I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. God calls us all to loyalty. Deuteronomy 4:24; For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God. “MAKE ME FIRST!” It’s something you have to one day come to grip with. Hebrews 10:23; Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) Matthew 25:21; His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. “MAKE ME FIRST!” Its something you have to be dutifully firm. 1 Corinthians 2:2; For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. “MAKE ME FIRST!” 1 Kings 17:10; So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. One thing the people of God are so forgetful in. You can’t start making him first, until you are fading out the picture, widow woman. Exodus 20:3; Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 1 Kings 17:11; And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand. To do it takes more than your word. Hebrews 10:5; Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me. “MAKE ME FIRST!” 1 Kings 17:12; And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. Make me first, is a being you don’t take off for. Do you want to die by your own hand? 1 Samuel 7:3; And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the Lord with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the Lord, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines. It’s a mindset and a heart fixed, that you are acquainted with, and at peace with it (Job 22:21.) “MAKE ME FIRST!” 1 Kings 17:13; And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son. You will exist, but you just want be first. 2 Corinthians 4:10; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 2 Corinthians 10:3; For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh. 1 Kings 17:14; For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth. Sustain that doing. Colossians 3:2; Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Be patience with what you’re doing. James 1:4; But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 1 Kings 17:15; And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days. Make me first. Matthew 6:33; But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto me. 1 Kings 17:16; And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Elijah. Make me first, you being me. 2 Timothy 2:13; If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. “MAKE ME FIRST!” Teaching!” Overseer/Apostle
