First Things First | The Principle of First Fruits — Part 1 | Pastor Paula White-Cain

Make God Your First Priority and Live Your Best Life in 2025

Today, we’re going to help shift your perspective and ensure that, in all things and at all times, God is your first priority. You might say, “I put God first all the time,” but let’s take a closer look. When the Bible says, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God,” what does that really mean? How can we apply it to our daily lives?

If you don’t know God’s ways or don’t fully understand who God is, you’ll find yourself stressing over your everyday needs, leading to frustration. However, when you align your life with God’s plan and do things His way, you’ll begin to experience a life like never before. I believe this will be your best year yet in 2025!

Let’s prepare our hearts and begin by worshipping God. My husband is here to minister to us in song, and as we worship, let’s open our hearts to God’s presence.

“My Heart Is Thirsting for You”

Lord, I give You praise. My soul thirsts for Your grace. You save me when I’m sinking in darkness, and Your voice leads me through deep waters. You are my refuge, my rock, my shield. Your love flows through everything, and Your living waters cleanse me. I am healed in Your presence.

In Your waters, I find restoration, peace, and love. You are the one true source of everlasting life. Stay by my side and restore my faith, Lord. Baptize me with Your Spirit so that I may see Your truth and love above all else.

[Music]

Lord, Your living waters wash my sins away, and Your love flows over me. We flow as one in Your grace, restoring our faith and finding freedom in Your presence.

Honor God with Your Tithes and Offerings

As we continue in this spirit of worship, let’s take a moment to honor God with our tithes and offerings. God’s Word teaches us that we are to bring Him the first 10% of our income, honoring Him on the appointed day—the Sabbath, which is Sunday for us.

Every time you give, something supernatural happens. By partnering with Paula White Ministries, you are sowing into fertile ground. Our ministry has been actively supporting Israel for over 40 years and helping rebuild lives, especially after the tragic events of October 7th. We have worked in disaster relief and continue to make a real difference on the ground through partnerships with organizations like CityServe, World Vision, and Breaking Chains.

Your giving helps fund these incredible efforts. You can donate through PayPal, Cash App, or by calling the toll-free number. Just click the donation button on our website to give your best and honor God.

A New Year, A New Opportunity to Seek God First

As we enter the exciting year of 2025, I believe that it’s going to be your best year. But remember, God has a plan, a path, and principles for us to follow. Let’s align ourselves with His will and experience all the blessings He has in store.
