Serving God is essentially for our benefits.
Whether we serve God or not, His status can’t change. He is the “I Am That I Am!”
Serving God adds nothing to God, but adds everything to us.
It is not just serving God that works but serving Him as priority
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33 (KJV)
An important question for every believer serving God is, “Where is God on your priority list?”
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.” Matthew 22:37-38 (NIV)

Serving God guarantees express answers to our prayers.
When we serve God as priority, God will answer us with priority.
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. John 15:16 (KJV)
When we put God first, He will make our concerns His priority. Our prayers get on the fast lane as we call to the Lord

Serving God turns our shame to Glory.
The wise shall inherit glory; But shame shall be the promotion of fools.” Proverbs 3:35 (KJV)
As we serve God with priority, everything that is shameful in and around our lives would turn into glory.
Everyone truly serving God much check to know how much priority they give to serving God.
As we make God first in all things, He will also make us priority.
Prayers: “Lord, we receive grace today to make you priority in everything we do. God first.” Amen!
