Your Highest Priority

Your Highest Priority!

God wants you to prosper in every way! It is important to note that prosperity comes from the priorities we set into motion. Some things in life require little attention and others a lot. What you deem as a priority will determine how much attention it deserves and how far you can go and what you can accomplish in that area.

Even though Isaac was Abraham’s promise from God, he was unwilling to withhold him from God.

Solomon was the son of the most famous king in the history of the nation of Israel, King David. King David was so renowned that even Jesus Christ will come back and sit on his throne. Just before his death, David installed Solomon, his son, as king over the entire kingdom of Israel. At the beginning of his reign, Solomon’s heart was wholly given over to God and his purposes.
