INTRODUCTION

Kingdom priorities determine the flow of divine help into a believer’s life. When God occupies the first place, His resources, wisdom, and strategies manifest naturally, leading to breakthroughs and protection against adversaries.

Many believers struggle because their priorities are misaligned, placing temporal gains, human ambitions, or personal comfort above the purposes of God. Misaligned priorities delay divine intervention and open doors for attacks from the enemy.

This message highlights how focusing on God’s kingdom ensures supernatural support. By aligning time, resources, energy, and decisions with God’s agenda, believers attract divine assistance, experience accelerated success, and fulfil their God-given destinies.

1. VALUE GOD’S KINGDOM ABOVE ALL

Divine help flows when God is placed first in all aspects of life.

Plans submitted to God yield success beyond human understanding.

Pursuing kingdom objectives brings lasting divine favour and prevents wasted effort.

Kingdom priorities ensure that choices align with God’s will, attracting His supernatural help.

The Word provides clarity, revealing the right steps to take.

Divine help is hindered when worldly concerns override God’s purposes.
