Romans 6:13-14, 18-1913 Do not offer the parts of your body to sin,

as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. 14 For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but

under grace.

18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

19 I put this in human terms because you are weak in your natural selves. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to

holiness.

Jeremiah 29:11-14 MSGI know what I'm doing. I have it all

planned out--plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. "When you

call on me, when you come and pray to me, I'll listen. "When you come looking for me, you'll find me. "Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want

it more than anything else, I'll make sure you won't be disappointed."

GOD's Decree.

CONCLUSION:

The great promise to those who seek God first in PRAYER is that he will be found. “If you seek him, he will be found by you”(1Chron 8:9). And when he is found, there is great reward. “Whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him” (Hebrews 11:6). God himself is our greatest reward. And when we have him, we have everything. Therefore, “Seek God first and His presence everyday in prayer!”
