Growing up I was taught that the most important and exciting day of the week was Sunday. That was the day that we were privileged to go to the House of the Lord and meet with God and His people. In this generation, it is evident that things have changed and priorities have shifted. I find it no coincidence that over the last 5 years or so, as church attendance and commitment has declined, we have also experienced national recession and economic issues.
2012 presents a unique and prophetic opportunity for the people of God. The spiritual atmosphere in this nation is going to shift and the House of God and His people will find themselves at the point of emphasis once again. Men and women of God all over the nation are seeing and prophesying that this is going to be a year of favor, prosperity, and success for God’s people.
Like every promise God gives us, there is always an “if”. If we want to see the promise of God released in our church, in our families, and in our personal lives, we must re-prioritize and place God First in everything. I am calling for us, the people of Place for Life, to make this our mantra in 2012: “God First!” God First in our homes, God First on our jobs, God First with our money, God First in everything. I believe that if we do this collectively that God will bless our church abundantly. Likewise, if we do this individually, our lives and families will experience the blessing of God like never before!
I ask you to join with me in giving the month of January to the Lord. We will do this through the following efforts. First, by bringing our First Fruits offerings to the House of God. Secondly, by coming together on Sunday Night, January 8th for a special House Committal Service. Finally, by spending 12 days of prayer and consecration from Wednesday, January 11th through Sunday, January 22nd. There is no better way to start 2012 then at the House of God. The FIRST day of 2012 is a Sunday - AMAZING!! We have the opportunity to spend our first day of the year in God’s House!
God First in 2012 at Place for Life. I love all of you dearly and I know that something great is on the horizon for us and I cannot wait to hear all of the testimonies of the favor of God that will be active in each of our lives.
