Priority

1Tim3:4-5
one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?)

God has ordained priority for our life... Priority one is God... priority two is family.... priority three is the house of God.... christians often make the mistake of putting GOd's house before their own house.... this is a mistake.... thinking by building God's house.. God wld build their household... this is not true... God wants us to provide for our family and rule our household well before we become leaders in His house....

2Thess3:10
For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.

God's pattern of blessing is to put Him first... take care of our family... rule it well.. and then take care of the house of God...
