Message
It will look strange for a child dressing up to go to school, to wear his shoes before wearing the socks. In the same way, it will be abnormal for a person to dress up before entering into the bathroom to take his bath. These actions are exactly what happens every time you seek and pray for success in examination, God’s provision, divine protection, and all other physical provisions and blessings without seeking the salvation of your soul. Seeking the kingdom of God first is the wisest thing to do as our Lord Jesus Christ counsels everyone.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
