- So grateful for the opportunity to bring this message from The Lord to you, today. Please know that this is a generalisation and does not attempt to explain every single person’s intention or relationship with God because His Spirit leads us according to what The Father has written of our lives in our individual scrolls. It is my prayer however, that your heart is open to receive the specific thing God wants you to hear from this video and that so many lives are blessed in the Name of Jesus Christ, amen.

That's so true, we chase after the things of this world not knowing the disaster it leads to , then we want God to clean the mess the up
So True
Real oh!!!
"The thing you are looking for is looking for a version of you that you can only find in the place of prayer."

Amen ❤️
This is the highlight for me
Amen!!!🙏
Research God's time/calendar in Genesis 1:14. God’s Sabbath is calculated by the sun, moon and stars. God MAY allow “The Powers To Be “ to enforce some type of “Sabbath Law” to see if we will keep His law or no before He delivers His scattered people from the nations. How can the true Sabbath be Friday, Saturday, Sunday, etc, if we are commanded by God in Genesis 1:14 to let the lights in heaven be for days, years, etc.? Besides, the beginning of God's months start with the new moon days. The Gregorian Calendar hanging on our walls, in our houses, do not start it’s months with the new moon day as the scriptures testify. The new moon day falls anywhere and everywhere on that time/calendar....How can the beginning of the month start in the midst of a month or, how can the first day of the month also be the seventh day Sabbath? God has three category of days, the new moon day, the six work days and the Sabbath day, they never, ever, overlaps each other. Ezekiel 46:1-3, 2 Kings 4:17-23. Look at the scriptures in Genesis 7:11, Genesis 8:4,5,13,14 and tell me what and whose time/calendar is being used here? We must abandon our traditions, stop worshiping God in vain and do things God’s way. Let us not deceive ourselves, there will be no good reward for keeping man’s doctrines in the place of what God commands. We make God's Word of none effect when we cling to our traditions. Mark 7 COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE!

This year I joined the hallelujah challenge and the first thing he said we should write on our request is ‘God discovery’ To seek him first
She is speaking my language. There is a shift, a movement to the next level in our relationship with God WHEN you stop looking for God for what he can give you but pursue SIMPLY to know him, you discover the most fulfilling love affair with Abba. You begin to operate in a realm where everything else is vanity and only him makes you complete.
The true Sabbath day is calculated by the Time/Calendar God ordained in the beginning of creation, Genesis 1:14
True Sabbaths are not calculated by the "Famous Gregorian calendar" or any other man made time.
"He shall think to change times and laws..." Daniel 7:25
What calendar will be used for worship in Isaiah 66:22,23?
God is seeking those who will worship Him in Spirit and in truth.
Keeping God's Sabbath by God's Time in Genesis 1:14 is truth....
What if God should allow a Sabbath test to be enforce on nations, by "The Powers To Be", to see if His people will keep His Truth or no??? Read Judges 2:20-23 Judges 3:4
God's truth is our shield and buckler, Psalms 91❤️
I see a woman fill with the SPIRIT OF GOD, THE GRACE OF GOD, THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, THE WISDOM OF GOD, THE JOY OF THE LORD. THE BEAUTY OF GOD THE MEEKNESS OF GOD, A VIRTUS WOMAN WITH SO MUCH SIMPLICITY PRESENTING GOD'S WORDS TO GOD'S PEOPLE. God bless you really good, because I know I've learnt a lot from you. Like you said,,, HE HAD SO MUCH TO GIVE TO US, BUT THERE'S SOMETHING HE WANTS TO SEE IN US, AND HOW HE WANTS US TO LIVE. God bless you richly once again 🙏.
The moment I began to listen to this video, I just started laughing...
I'm laughing because sometime after I left home, I kind of lost touch with God...I tried several times to come back but it seemed he was too far, then I fell into the habit of coming to him when I needed things...a job, money etc.
In May, I came again for a very huge opportunity, I did midnight prayers, I cried and begged for that opportunity to not pass me by....lo and behold, it did pass me by. I was annoyed. I felt like a child whose candy was taken away against their will.....I began to ask him why? Why? I was angry with him so to speak 😅
.
One morning just last week, I sat on my bed and I spoke to him in a conversational manner, I asked him why I didn't get what I wanted...then a line dropped in my mind "seek first the Kingdom of God..." Needless to say I was sad....that's not the answer I wanted. I was moody throughout that day then I began to ask myself....where do I even start in seeking first this kingdom? Why should that be the answer he gives me? And then...this video pops up as I was scrolling youtube just this evening. I see the direction he wants me to go....and to be honest, I'd love to know him more....so yes! Thank you Ezinne for being the vessel through which the message was made clearer to me. This video was made for me, that's why I was laughing. He brought me to your channel to find the answers. It is not a coincidence that I stumbled upon this message. God bless you ❤️
Your body cannot go where your mind has not gone.

Isn't this so very true !
“Hanna was never barren, there was just somebody she needed to become.”
I agree....God locked her womb
Exactly,being barren means she wasn’t bearing fruits(which refers to good/she believed in falsehood ).She persevered in prayer and through overcoming evil,God transformed her
Deep
Wow

How timely, yes even at 2 years later on a day where we are literally in the midst of HC I hear this, and on the same day I felt loved by Abba, in a way that made me know His love and I literally was thinking about this verse of seeking first the kingdom of God. WOW God indeed is intentional with our drawing close to Him and His drawing close to us, He will even help you draw close to Him, what a wonder❤
As a 20 year old who is following Christ I needed this🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️
Be blessed young lady 🙏 🙌 ❤

Walk... LIKE A CHRIST... THE WAY HE DID ..
This is absolutely what I needed to hear to confirm everything the Lord has been teaching me over the past 6 months. In November, I felt so convicted because I knew my heart had drifted from God. I was so focused on my life, my school, my success, the opinions of others, and my own worldly pleasure. God wasn’t at the center and I knew it. So I prayed earnestly to him, “Jesus, take the number one spot on the throne of my heart. Don’t let anything compete with you. Do whatever you need to do to rid me of these idols.”
I meant it. I didn’t want to be in a place where my meaning and identity was in the world. I felt restless and discontent and ashamed at the state of my heart.
Soon after I went through the most difficult season of my life. ALL the things that I looked to for fulfillment were shaken. I got sick, I began having issues with my singing voice, and I started experiencing excruciating anxiety and depression. My idol of perfectionism was struck down as my life was often just a matter of “getting through the day” rather than worrying about doing things correctly. I went full nights with no sleep. I stopped eating because i had no appetite. My heart rate was constantly high due to stress. I had no choice but to depend on God during this time. I was so confused, especially in the beginning, asking God WHY He was allowing this to happen. It felt pointless. I felt helpless, weak, and like I didn’t deserve it (though I truly deserve much worse). I started seeing a Christian therapist and began to learn about all the strongholds that have kept me from living out my full identity in Jesus. My heart’s inner desire to please others, to do well in the world, to have it “all together” in my own standard.
And although I’m much better, I’m still dealing with anxiety now & I’m still healing. I also contracted laryngitis and have trouble talking (let alone singing). But I’m not confused anymore. I know it all has a purpose. What He has taught me through this time is priceless. He has struck down my idols and shown me through experience that the greatest gift is HIM. And this video confirms what He’s been trying to say all along. He knows what I need, He wants to bless me, but He loves me so much that He wants me to find HIM! To be with HIM! To know HIM! Like you said, if He just immediately gave me everything I wanted, I would say thank you and walk away. But He wants to prepare me for something greater. He wants to transform me into the image of His son and this can only be done by seeking His presence and spending time with Him. If he healed my voice and anxiety immediately, I could easily walk away and get distracted by the world again. He’s so kind that he’s giving me a quiet time and space to seek Him and experience His presence. He’s preparing me to receive what He has planned. And they’re all GOOD things!
Bless you, sister. Your testimony has been a blessing and confirmation to me.
Reminds me of this poem - This thing is from Me by Laura Stow
God bless you for sharing this
Come on 🙏🏾❤️🔥
🥺🥺💞
Wow!!!! Very well said! Almighty God, I just want to thank You for leading me to read this comment🙏🏾👌🏾🙏🏾♥️♥️♥️
My husband and I were sharing similar testimonies with our son just yesterday, to encourage him, and myself, in the ways of God; He loves us so very much, that instead of giving us everything that we need or want at once like the story of the prodigal son (which often times we fumbles through pride) He transforms us into the likeness of His Only Holy Son first, which gives us everlasting relationship with Him, and access to ALL the goodness in His Kingdom as He has already promised us anyway💝
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your testimony; not only did this video blessed me, your comments on the video has also blessed me!🙏🏾 I pray that GOD Almighty will always be THE ONLY ONE ON THE THRONE OF YOUR HEART FOREVER AND EVER! May the LORD begin to open new doors of opportunities on higher ground for you in the mighty name of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, AMEN!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
“Your body cannot go where your mind has not gone” 🔥
Oooooo
I want to watch this over and over again, I've been so obsessed with trying to be somebody and I feel God calling me back to just abide in Him. I'm still trying to find my feet and realign my heart, it's not the easiest but He who has started a good work in me will see it through. Thank you Ezinne for giving your yes to Jesus, it is helping to give birth to even more.
This is me too.
Please don’t give up on yourself,God is so keen on making you a better person.Just surrender your heart to Him
Amen. Hallelujah praise Jesus!
I am writer and this couldn't have been so timely.
I feel l have been making my platform an idol. You know chasing the likes and the comments .
So I took a break today from Facebook and Instagram .
I feel I need it.
Absolutely! My story too. Thank you Ezinne and Thank God too
Praise be to God.. That even in this age.. Young people still see the importance of seeking Him... Glory to God.. May he work in each and everyone us.. Perfecting us for His Glory
I’ve saved this video in my “watch later” for some time now and never had energy to watch it. I’ve been a born-again “church girl” for many years since Sunday school. The spirit of God hit me so much the past week about repentance and life of pleasing God. Today is day 3 of my prayer and Holy Spirit reminded me of this video 🥺. All I can say is I’m grateful that I watched it now and not earlier because it hits different now. Thank you very much for this, may Jesus Christ bless you. I’m grateful for this fresh start.
This video has been recommended to me so much I couldn’t ignore it anymore. Blessed!
Same Here !
Exact same thing
Me too!
We are in the same boat😫😫
Same here sis!!
This is clearly the hand work of God. When you get to 20 mins of this video you would understand why this video just keeps getting views all the time. Glory be to God. Our God is an awesome God.
As a 21 year old and got my dream job and wasn’t fulfilled because I thought it will bring me happiness. Lord help me I have been scared and afraid to step into it .. Lord please help me 🙏❤️
It's unique how I've watched this before, but I didn't have the understanding that I do now.
It all makes so much more sense and indeed I'm grateful to God for growth.
I had this moment recently where I had spent moments of time in prayer with God and when I came out, I could feel the joy within me.
The people around me kept commenting about how I was glowing and sincerely, I knew that it could only have been Abba.
Seeking the Kingdom of God first, is dwelling in His presence... Knowing God for yourself, knowing his nature and that nature within you and not just what others have told you.
God is good🙏
2 years later and God is still using this message to bless. Came across this video a while back and I added it to my watch later playlist, cause I honestly wasn’t ready to hear this yet. But then, the Holy Spirit was dealing with me earlier today about purpose while I was listening to a message, and He was saying that purpose is found in seeking the Father’s will first and foremost. And then He was citing the examples of Joseph and Daniel, how they sought God and His pleasure and they obeyed Him to the point that they became relevant pieces of world history. Far and beyond what you can think or imagine for yourself, are His plans. And then I come across this video again seemingly out of the blue, but there are no coincidences with God, how intentional He is, our Father. Trusting God is just the best thing to happen to anyone and I thank God that He is revealing these things to me right now and thank you Ezinne, did you imagine this message would still be blessing 2 years after? Thank you for being so sold out to Him and being the lighthouse in this world and a city on a hill that couldn’t be hid. God bless you more abundantly in Jesus name.
This got recommended to me and wow! What a blessing. Thanks for sharing. ❤️
Thank God 🤍 p.s, I love your channel
Oh wow...I love your videos also
Same here!

Wow! May God Almighty continue to bless you, as you have blessed me, Amen🙏🏾
Thank You Lord for speaking to me through my sister in Christ Jesus🙏🏾♥️
“You don’t do those things to force God to answer you” So good

“The things I seek are looking or seeking for me too but it’s looking for a different version of myself” wow!! This right here!
I need to frame this ❤
2 Years later, this found me and I am MOVED!🥺😭❤️❤️
The greatest ambition of your heart when you come to me should be: to know me, to have fellowship with me and not necessarily what you can get from me. This is what it means to SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD....
Hannah was never barren, there was just somebody she needed to become! 😭
Oh God
This was recommended to me and I'm so wowed. I'm Muslim, but, lately, I always tell God to reveal Himself to me in His own way coz I'm tired of been emotionally down. Thank you for this. God bless you richly.🙏🙏
All you need to do is ,
1-your consistency goes a long way,keep seeking,love him unconditionally and be obsessed with him,you will find PEACE from the inside,when others are troubled,you be at peace because you are carrying CHRIST …may God show himself to you …🙏AMEN 🙏
Gospel means Good News
When you see a building, you know there is an builder. When you see a painting, you know there is a painter although the builder or the painter may of died hundreds of years ago. So when you see creation, you know there is a creator, and that creator is God. In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth. To not believe in God is to believe that nothing created something, that is impossible for nothing to create something. Say if there was an explosion that created or cause everything, where did the elements come from that exploded. See it is a never ending cycle, the only truth is to affirm that God has no beginning and no end and he created all things. The creator is greater than his creation. So we can not put him on the same level as a man. All men have a beginning, but God had no beginning no end because he is not a created being.
God is one being 3 distinct persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Each person is fully God, all co eternal and co equal. The Father is not the Son and the Son is not the Holy Spirit. They are distinct.
Here we can see each distinct person of the Godhead at the same time, showing they are not modes. The Father speaking from Heaven, The Son ( Jesus ) getting baptized and the Holy Spirit descending as a dove onto Jesus Christ ( keep in mind Christ is not Jesus last name, it means anointed one or chosen one ) he was given the name of Jesus because he would save his people from their sins.
Then Jesus went from Galilee to the Jordan River to be baptized by John. But John tried to talk him out of it. “I am the one who needs to be baptized by you,” he said, “so why are you coming to me?” But Jesus said, “It should be done, for we must carry out all that God requires.” So John agreed to baptize him. After his baptism, as Jesus came up out of the water, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and settling on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy.”
Matthew 3:13-17
Jesus is the second person of the Godhead, the Son of God. The Father sent the Son ( Jesus ) to be born by the power of the Holy Spirit through a virgin named Mary. He was miraculously born. He is one person with 2 natures. Fully God and fully man. Jesus submitted himself to the Father in his humanity and lived a perfect life he was obedient until death on a cross. This is the legal implications of the cross, the 10 commandments is God's moral law and Gods standard is moral perfection. Here is some of them: You shall not lie, You shall not steal, You shall not commit adultery ( Jesus said whoever looks at a woman to lust has committed adultery with her in his heart, the same goes for a woman lusting after a man, And you shall not murder ( whoever is angry with someone is a murderer at heart), You shall have no gods before me ( This is to make up a God to suit yourself ) Do not take the name of the Lord Your God in vain ( Things like saying OMG and using God's name as meaningless or replacing a four letter filth word with God's name or Jesus Christ. To violate just one commandment is to be guilty of breaking the whole law. The wages of sin is death and punishment in hell which is God's prison. The punishment is eternal because God is eternal, We broke God's law and Jesus paid our fine. If you are in court and have a stack of speeding tickets and somebody pays your fine the Judge can let you go free even though you are guilty. That is what Jesus did for us on the cross. He gave his life so that sinners maybe reconciled to God and be free of the coming Judgment. He paid our wages our fine. It is appointed once to die and after this comes the Judgment. That is why Jesus last words on the cross was IT IS FINISHED! He finished paying the debt. He was buried and rose from the grave on the 3rd day defeating death proving he was who he claimed to be. God is so good he must punish sin, we will have to pay for our own sin if we reject the only person who took God's wrath for sin. There is no other name under heaven in which we might be saved. In order to be saved from God's wrath we need to repent ( turn from sin) and trust in Jesus alone not our own goodness. We can not be good because we have already broken God's law that requires perfect obedience. Jesus kept the law for us, when we repent and trust in him. His perfect life gets credited to our account, so when God the Father looks at us he sees you as perfect and righteous. (Please consider this)
Suppose a murder rapes a woman and slits her throat but stands before the judge and says I help older women cross the street and give to the poor, a just Judge would say I am not judging based on the works you perform but judging you based on the crimes that you have committed. In the same way good works can not save us. All religions outside Christianity teach you can be saved by good works. And again, by knowing the court system we know that a criminal is not going to get judged by their good works but by the crimes they committed. God is rich in mercy for all who call upon him. Turn from your sin and trust in Jesus Christ alone and you will inherit the Kingdom of God and live forever. For God so loved the world he gave his one and only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. God bless you ❤️❤️
Hii! I was in a similar situation as you, I was a Muslim and wanted to get closer to God. So, I started reading the Quran. After I started to read it, I realized that the God of the Quran was way more different than how I imagined God would be like. I couldn’t recognize him… This wasn’t the person who I prayed to and loved over the years. Then, I decided to give the Bible a try. I was so confused during that time because the Bible (New Testament) seemed so true. I cried out to God to reveal Himself to me, whoever He was, Jesus or Allah. Then I met Jesus Christ in a dream, and kept revealing Himself to me over a month in miraculous ways. That was lifechanging. I assure you Christ is different than anyone and anything, you could never imagine it.
So, I beg you, humble yourself, open your heart and mind, and call out to God; ask Him to reveal Himself to you. I will pray for you everyday 🙏🏻
“For this reason I bend my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner self, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled to all the fullness of God.” Ephesians, chapter 3, verses 14-19. NASB (the translation)

I used to sit down think about my problems and just cry but today I sit down think about the goodness of God and how far he has brought me and breakdown.
Now I understand why God put this video before me. The things i am looking for are also looking for me, but they are looking for that version of me that can handle those things when God connects them with me. This version of me can only be found in the place of prayer 🙏🏽 Secondly, the body cannot go to where the mind has not been. If I want it, I must believe I already have it in my mind. Selah.... God bless you Zara for allowing God to use you to pass on this message
"The only person that must sit on the throne of our hearts is Jesus Christ"
Kai!!! Idolatry is beyond carved or brazen images, it could be affinity to material possessions, ambitions, reputation, etc.
Thank You so much, Ma!
When we come into the presence of the Lord, it shouldn't be about what we need because He already knows, it should be about knowing Him, fellowshipping with Him, doing His Will❤️
Amén!!!

How do you know that you are doing Gods will and not your own?
@@freshliving4199 if you find yourself dying to you flesh or deciding to stop certain things that you loved or enjoyed because the Holy Spirit is not pleased then thats how it starts. Then you become more sensitive to God and less to your desires. Like for me I was obsessed with social media but the more I got into God’s word the more I put my want aside and little by little God gave me strength to stay away. He also heightened my want to tell people about him and seek him and get to know God more intimately like the prophets in the Bible knew him, and that’s not what my human self would have wanted.
Halleluyah and Amen 🙏🏿
Noticed in this age teens and young adult, we have misplaced priorities.Forgetting the utmost priority is the presence of God ♥️
Thank you for bringing us back to reality !
2 years later and this video is miraculously doing wonders... I don't know who will read this, but here's whats been happening.
So I think a lot, about everything and sometimes it takes the Grace of God for me to pray to him without asking him to do this and do that, so currently I believe God has been dealing with me, opening me up to bigger possibilities, to a better understanding of what intimacy with him is supposed to feel like, and how to just leave every other thing and just bask in his presence.. This video is the tip on the iceberg, because tell me why I will come on to UA-cam and see this first then I will save this on my watch later playlist only for me to come on here again and see this video at the top of my feed... Thank you Ezinne you've broken Down what
"seek ye first the kingdom of God" means for me.
You're an Evangelist, Ezinne. You convert unbelievers to truly believe the existence of God. I thank the Holy Spirit who directed me to your Channel.
- "Heart be still, the Father always hears me".
- "The thing that you're looking for is also looking for you. It's looking for a version of you that does not exist yet and can only be found in the place of prayer."
I’ve heard this verse “Seek ye first the kingdom…” so many times, and never really understood it in this light. It hit me when you gave the example of being a rich woman. Jesus truly wants our heart. Wow thank you so much, oh May God continue to work through you Ezinne❤️❤️
I know right. 🥺
Amen!
"The thing you are looking for is also looking for you, but it's looking for a version of you that is not available yet", it can only be achieved in God's presence. Thank you sis for sharing 💜
Somehow this Got to me at the right time. Literally out of nowhere😂 Thank you Jesus
Thank you!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
God spoke to me today!😭😭This was recommended to me and I watched breaking down into tears this morning. I realised this is what God wants me to do. To seek him first. I finished watching in tears and decided to have my morning devotion. Brethren.. when I saw the scripture reading and memory verse I broke down even further. It is clear according to Isaiah 48:17 God has spoken. "He is the one who teaches us and leads us along the paths we should follow." Since he has plans to prosper me and bring me to an expected end, I should seek the Kingdom and see all other things fall into place. I feel so blessed that God spoke to me today. This is a word in season. Thank you Ezinne.
I have never commented on your channel before ,but all I can say is “Thank You “ , Thank You for being an available vessel in the hands of God...
I just finished praying and I decided to open UA-cam, I am going back to talk to God ......
Sleep in God’s presence,eat in His presence,carry out your daily activities in His presence,there’s a lot to learn about yourself and His plans for your life and that will only be revealed if you’re intentional about spending time God.
I don't know why I'm crying after watching this. But I know God is speaking to me. I've always focused on what I'm going to become ... even though I've heard Him countless times telling me not to worry. I still won't obey .. I'll go online searching for jobs thetll pay nd all... it's well thank you ma. God bless you Sis Ezine

I gave my self to God 10 mins ago after a service I attended on UA-cam. After the session, I stumbled on a video u made….
I went through your channel and then I saw this video, Thank you and I bless God for showing me that the first step into this journey I’m embarking on is to first seek Him. ❤️
welcome to the family

"Your body cannot go where your mind has not gone".
This got me. Thank you for yielding to God, Ma. You've blessed me in many ways through your videos.
"your children don't want to be attached to you any more they are grown." That is so spot on. God gave us children so we will give him glory in raising them in his ways. Not just for ourselves. Amen! God Bless you sister.
It's like Ezinne is renewed everyday. I went back to watch her previous videos and till now I still feel the power, now this video is here and I cannot just wrap my head around the power that these words conveyed. She truly is a function of patience and longing in the presence of God
I felt the power too, almost cried. Praise God for Ezinne.
You know the great thing about seeking God, knowing His person and ways, outside of what you hope to derive, it’s that when these things are no more (AND, they’ll pass- 1 John 2:17); when you lose that job or house; when you experience grief, God is the only constant. You won’t think it’s all over for you, then. A house built upon His rock cannot be moved.
“Our hope is (should be) built on nothing else, than Jesus Christ our righteousness”
"The greatest ambition of your heart when you come to me should be to know me, to have fellowship with me and not necessarily what you can get from me."✨
God bless you for this - this was confirmation for me. I remember a dream I had and a woman told me “don’t spend 24/7 chasing your dreams. Spend 24/7 chasing God” & this verse Matthew 6:33 has been on my heart for so long. Ties in perfectly ❤
This is reaching me 2 years later at a time where God is telling me, "sweetheart, the person at the other end of the line is me and not your desires"
I can listen to this over and over again...it’s a whole meal ...spiritual meal 🥺🥺❤️❤️
I have watched this video more than 20 times since uploaded; such a blessing, and each time I listen, the Holy Spirit ministers to me something new.
Wow. “Seek ye First the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.” God gave me that verse for this year…and then this video pops up as a suggestion when I’m struggling. It realigned me. Thank you for sharing your revelations.🌷
This is a great video, thanks for sharing. When you showed the exchange rate for the currency, it reminded me of pen-pals I used to have back in the day from Africa who would send me African currency wanting to me to send them U.S. currency. It looked like so much, but I think I looked it up one day and saw it was worthless to me. I guess I was wrapping up my pen-pal season and I remember I had collected so much African currency (which I didn't ask for), and I believe it was the last pen-pal from Africa I decided to just send it all to them. I hadn't thought about that in years. I hope it Blessed them.
I remember one time you posted on your story; probably in 2020 actually, about how you danced in the spirit and got answers to some prayers. You shared the particular song Infact. I can’t really remember the details of the testimony, but I was like hmmm, let me try this.
I danced to that song the next day, danced over my requests etc, and I remember feeling so disappointed because nothing happened 🤣🤣
God taught me so many great lessons from that situation.
I was telling God yesterday that looking for a job is tiring for me at that moment I felt peace and now this video gave me more understanding of his ways
Keep dancing, now you have a new revelation. God loves you 😍
🤣🤣
This is an eye opener - God bless you richly. I have been single for 8 years since I separated from my husband and marriage was my idol. I prayed and fasted and was always left disappointed as I believed that being married will make me happy. I pray that I will chase God and live for him regardless of what situations look like. 🙏🏾
It's not by works....God has done everything He's going to do!!! We have to stay in the presence of God!!! He want us!! That's what He's been telling me also...our husband is a part of us but we have to make sure we're putting Him first. He'll move whatever is being put over Him!!! I'm praying with you too cause I'm dealing with the same thing right now!God bless you in Jesus name amen!!! She's a blessing to hear!!!
@@britneybrooks8379 thank you for your kind words. I will also keep you in my prayers, be blessed. ☺️🙏🏾
The things you are looking for are looking for you but there is a version of you they are looking for that will only be gotten as a result of who you are becoming in the presence of God ... Thank you Ezinne Zara... God bless you and I love you ❤️
Just wanna thank you for allowing God to use you ,your testimony bless me.Thank you God bless 🙌 you always 🙏🏻
I’ve saved this video and rewatched it several times. Thank you 🙏🏾
19:36 pm 06/05/2022 My name is Olaedo Valerie Uluocha. I am making this comment because i truly believe that God wanted me to see this video to encourage me to keep... just keep going. It felt like this video was made specifically for me. I am on the right path, thank you Yobo for your love. thank you so much Ezinne God bless you even more!
Same here.
"The thing you're looking for is looking for a version of you that doesn't exist". I'm just going to hold on to that and keep working on myself.
Delight in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart✨
This video blesses me daily, its exactly what i needed at this point in my life where i was wondering what am i doing wrong. Thank you Ezinne for allowing God to use you🙏🏽.
I saw this video a couple of days ago and I got a prompt from God, check the video out, I said to myself, oh I have a revelation on this scripture already, I don't need to really check on it right now, today a sister sent it to me and I know for sure God wants me here.
For me you have to love your friendship and love story with God almighty. Glad to say God is truly, TRULY THE LOVER of my soul. Conversations, silence, guidance, protection, providence, peace, teachings...if I list them all, there won't be space to write them all. I love you God. I pray for everyone that encounters this truth "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and everything shall be added unto thee", I pray they all come into the fullness of knowledge and enlightenment of this scripture.
God loves us all dearly
This reached the right audience, praise the Lord 🙌🏻
Woww, this is what it means to graduate from head-knowledge to an experience.
Scripture won't make much sense to you unless you have experienced it, and the way we have this experience is by obedience.
This is good.
Ezinne, you don't have an idea how you've been nothing but a blessing to me.... I thank God for connecting me to you. Bless you
Had just been saved and graduated looking forward to my dream job when for the first time in my life jobs shut their doors before me. Because I got saved watching TV, I would listen to one pastor after another. The trending message was Matthew 6:33, had no idea what the Lord meant, I was fasting and praying like crazy those days. He would later tell me to move to another state where I'd never been and didn't know a single person. Kicking and screaming I went, it would turn out to be my spiritual place of growth.
Amen and Amen. Praise the Lord! 😂 Such Truth! Refreshing! Thank you Holy Spirit for Leading me here! 🔥🔥🔥. Blessings Everyone! 🙏❤️😀🌅🌅🌅🌄
These words can only be lifted from the very throne room of God...I was blessed. May God bless and keep you. Amen
This is really wonderful Ezinne. In Matthew chapter 6:28 - 34, it talks about how beautifully the lilies of the fields are, even Solomon in all of his riches wasn't as beautifully dressed as them. If God could take out time to dress the lilies so beautifully even though today, they are on the field, and tomorrow they are trampled upon, won't he take out time to dress us as well. Aren't we of more importance than they? Therefore do not be anxious about what you shall eat or drink, for the lord knoweth you need all these things, but seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things would be added unto you. In the words of a wise man, seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things people are dying to get and have, would be added unto you. Therefore do not loose faith and diligently seek God, for when the testimonies come, we shall be like they that dream...
Good evening mrs ezine. A friend of mine introduced me to your page and we just started talking too. I just want to say thank you I'm hooked and super invested in your channel you spoke directly to and through me. While watching this video I felt so convicted and broken and just brought to tears that I just began praying. I don't think you fully understand how greatly God is using you honestly 😭. Like yesterday I was saying I needed a christian friend who is where I want to be spiritually someone I can learn from and grow from. You are my answered prayers Ezine. After watching this video I've decided to just SEEK GOD first and whatever happens next happens. I've decided to just stay on him after all he that started a good work in me will be faithful to complete it. Thank you so much Ezine may God continually bless you and pour more anointing on you. God bless your home and marriage and may you continually find peace. God bless you so much ❤️ from your spiritual sister Victory. Ps I'm going to take you like my big sister and I want to get closer to you ❤️
This message just changed life😢
The fact that i was asking God for financial stability my mind was just so focused on that
And i forgot that i had to seek God first....
I immediately began to ask God for mercy
This message really change my life right now ❤❤
"Heart be still, the father always hears me"
Only God can make a man , we run by waiting in the presence of God, I was blessed and encouraged to keep waiting in his presence , thank you
The fact that I’ve been meditating on this scripture for almost two days now . And then out of nowhere (I was watching a random UA-cam video) and I see this recommended. Wow The Holy Spirit brought me here for sure. Thank you 🙏🏾 God bless you
“The things you are looking for, they are looking for you too but the version of you they are looking for can only be gotten as a result of who you are becoming in the presence of God” Thank God for leading me to your page. Thank you for your obedience to Christ. Thank God that we get to drink of His living waters through you. Bless you 🙏🏾♥️
Holy Spirit, please help me reach that version that God wants me to, that version that my destiny and ministry awaits in Jesus name. AMEN
2 years after and i just bumped into this and i was moved to watch it. Had to download it to watch at my convenience and im glad i did, so much enlightenment by the spirit. I believe nothing is ever a coincidence God wanted this at this time and season for me to understand better. Thank you father for your word of wisdom
I’ve learned that God is more interested in your “being” and you can only become by dwelling in the secret place.
I’ve learnt to seek God more these days than ask for things and God keeps giving me things. Thank you for this.
This has literally been like a burden in my heart …. It’s almost like I know why I’m not where I want to be /should be because the only way for me apparently is to come to know him on a personal level …. This has to be the beginning of a journey with God “again” This time I hope I get it right🤞…… God bless you and you look radiant by the way 😍
I was just watching "HOW TO MAKE JESUS SMILE" by Pastor Elvis and right after it ended this video came to me. I have been struggling with seeking God first for as long as I can remember. Every time I am asked to write what I want God to do for me or I ask God for something , this is always first on the list but my struggle has been on how to actually seek God. The right way. I have been deeply blessed by this video. I pray the Holy Spirit directs me and guides me to Know God for who He is and not just what He can offer me in material things. God richly bless you.
And to everyone struggling to Know and seek God, I pray the Presence of God comes over you and directs you.
Amen

Amen ✝️ 🙏
Seek and ye shall find. Halleluyah! Ask, and ye shall find. Praise The LORD, now and forever more. Shalom! ❤
This is the 2nd time I’ve heard a message like this. It’s a confirmation for me to spend more time with the Holy Spirit. More than I’ve ever had.
I'm just starting on my journey of discovering Christ and what it means to be a believer and this is just the time I needed to hear this. I've been doing a lot of prayers just asking God to lead me through this journey and just be at the drivers seat and I believe by him directing me to this video is because he wanted me to hear that I should seek first his kingdom, especially at the beginning of my journey with Christ. I Receive his word and I pray it dwells in my heart and plants a seed that bears good fruit. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
“The things that you are looking for, are looking for you, but they are looking for a vision of you that they are looking for that will only be gotten as a result of who you are becoming in the presence of God”. This is far too profound. So timely and spot on. Thank you, Ezinne. God bless you🥺❤️
I was having a really low moment today then I suddenly decided to check UA-cam and I saw this video. It really spoke to me from the first words on meditating on a particular scripture/verse to the crux of it about seeking the presence of God first.
I constantly see what God can do with a yielded life through you, Ezinne. In this video, I see it again.
God bless you, God bless you. Thank you.
This was for me. Thank you Jesus and thank you Ezinne for making yourself available for God’s use❤
Thank you for this video i was giving up on God because been praying and fasting but nothing was working in my life my prayers not answered things just getting bad on my side but am thankful for watching these video God is doing something great for me that one day i will testify about it 🙏🙏
I feel God presented this video at the perfect time. I've been seeking a career so strongly and pretty much got upset because God is silent. Thanks for making this video. My eyes have been opened.
My life should be a function of sitting in God's presence and knowing him, for it to function best I must dwell, live and stay for the rest of my life.
Thank you for this timely video. God bless you ma'am.
This message got me so emotional. I really needed to hear this, indeed i was so blessed and i feel stirred up.
I can reealy relate to everything you said, especially the hallelujah challenge part because i also had that experience, praying to God for a my result in an exam i was writing during that period and things did not turn out so well. I felt so down and cried but later i realised that i had in one way or the other idolized my academics and getting good grades.
Noticing this, i to wallow in the past but to follow God more in the new semester and after listening to this, i really feel uplifted in my spirit to continue to desire God more not for what i want or desire but to be the woman He wants me to grow into.
What is the hallelujah challenge (can you explain it)?
@@keepingupwithk6677 The hallelujah challenge is a program that Nathaniel Bassey was inspired to organize. They're are certain months designated for this program and it starts 12 midnight, we just worship God, pray and present our request before God.
You can check Nathaniel Bassey's UA-cam channel for the past hallelujah challenge. The program is usually streamed online.
@@nife3162 oh thank you i'm going to watch it
I am so grateful I came ac ross this, I have been feeling like the God I am looking for is only for some people. Thank you, I needed to hear this today.
I like the video before I even started watching.. okay let’s watch now !❤️
Same here😂😂
😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
Anybody that knows me knows how much I love Ezinne Zara. 🥺
You coming to my school yesterday was so timely.
Thank you for all you do for me. You’ve changed my mindset a lot of times.
God bless you.❤️
''the things that you are looking for is also looking for you, but only a version of you that does not exist yet'' this is powerful God bless us
A friend sent this to me one year ago. I watched it then, and it spoke volumes to me. Today, the Lord made me watch it again, and it means so much more. Thank you so much, ma. Thank you.
Yesterday this verse was in my heart, I even posted it on my status and today I come across this video. Thank you! I have a lot in my heart, a lot of desires and I know that as a child of God, God is speaking to me. I'm grateful ❤
God is telling me to learn from you, sis. God is telling me to drop my pride and listen to Him speak through you😭😭😭.
Before this message whenever I hear the verse" seek ye first the kingdom of God " I'm like why are there dedicated christains who don't have enough. I forget sometimes that He says "the righteous can not be forsaken" God is great!!
