Message
Many Children of God do not know the depth of the
common saying, ” Order is the first thing in
heaven.”
They quote this statement awkwardly without giving
it necessary importance it requires. In the real
sense of it, orderliness is the nature of divine
administration. My prayer for someone using this
devotional is that if your life is disorganised, it shall
be divinely fixed in Jesus Name.
Our God is the God of order; He ordered the course
of the universe by His Word. This is the reason why
we must give the Word of God pre-eminence in our
lives. The Lord said to Jeremiah; “… I will hasten my
word to perform it.” (Jeremiah 1:12 ). The Almighty
God does not take His own Word with levity like
some of us do. Bible teachings come in form of
doctrines and living by them is inevitable if we are
to live orderly. Jesus Christ said in John 7:17:
” If any man will do his will, he shall know of the
doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of
myself.”
Disobedience to God’s order brings Choas and
unimaginable calamities as the story of Adam and
Eve’s fall reveals ( Genesis 2:16-17, Genesis
3:9-19). I encourage the user of this devotional to
begin to place a high premium on the Word of God,
even as God Himself does. In the second pastoral
epistle of Paul to Timothy we read:
” All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness:That the man of God
may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good
works.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17
On the Third day, God set in order the course of the
universe by His Word and things began to work,
even till this day; the seas in their places, the dry
land, a variety of vegetation and fruit bearing plants.
Our God is the God of both creation and provision:
He creates to provide. This means lack was not
originally planned to characterise the life of man. I
pray that everything that you need shall be orderly
provided for your pleasure this season in Jesus’
name. However, pay close attention to the Words of
Great Provider.
Prayer Point :
Father, please set my life in order, and don’t allow
me to do things against Your will.
