God first.

You know recently the daily morning prayer meetings have really brought me a revelation about putting God first in our lives.

In our finances, we tithe because we want to put God first. So the first fruits of our finances go into the work of kingdom, with our heart to God.

And God promises that when we put Him first, all the things that we need will be added unto us.

So really, the morning prayer meetings we are doing now is a simple thing: To put God first in our day. Like the tithe, by praying the first thing in the morning, either corporately or personally, we are showing God that He is first in our lives, literally.

I mean, how many Christians have you heard telling you all about what it means to put God first in their lives? They come up with complex theories and behaviors that display what it means to put God first in our lives.

But really, putting Him first is about asking Him how you should go about the day, how you should make your decisions before you actually make them! I've seen countless Christians make their decisions and then ask God to prosper that decision!

But why would God prosper what He didn't ask you to do?

I think as a leader, you are put in that position where your decisions matter much more than otherwise. The results are even more obvious when you learn to put God first in your decision-making. Your organization or ministry is affected by that decision, be it from your flesh or from the Spirit of God.

Putting God first is at its heart, a surrender to God. And I always remember what Benny Hinn and Kathryn Kuhlman said: It's about surrender. It's about recognizing that everything you have in your hands; your job, your ministry, your organization really belongs to God, and it's about asking God what you should do with it.

I remmeber what Pastor Kong said about the employee that told him he was too busy with managing his cell groups to answer Pastor Kong's call into missions.

It's the same thing with God. We shouldn't be too busy with managing God's business that when God calls us, we're so caught up with what we believe is 'God's will' that we don't hear Him.

I'm always challenged in this area: Is Uni-Y really God's ministry, or am I secretly making it my own?

The answer can always be found in decision making. Is God the President of the organization, and hence you consult him before making a decision, or are you the president of your own organization/life and you make the decision before asking for His support?
