Paula White-Cain’s Recent Message Putting God first
**Paula White-Cain
“Putting God first means inviting Him into every area of your life: your relationships, your finances, your parenting, your work, and your calling… then you’re building on a strong, unshakable foundation. That’s where real success in every part of your life begins.”
The attached video (about 53 seconds) features Paula White-Cain delivering a passionate teaching on this theme. She emphasizes that “God first” isn’t just a priority list but the foundational basis for everything else, referencing Psalm 11:3 (“If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?”).
Key points from the video transcription:
– God must be first in relationships, finances, children, marriage, career, calling, and ministry.
– This requires a paradigm shift and different mindset.
– A strong foundation (God first) is essential; without it, nothing else can stand or succeed.

This aligns with her style of motivational, faith-based teaching on practical Christian living.
Devotional: “The Nature of God’s Glory: It’s Meant to Grow”
Your mention of “Christians international blog post” and the exact phrase “The Nature of God’s Glory: It’s Meant to Grow” matches a recent devotional message inspired by Bishop David Abioye (of Living Faith Church Worldwide, associated with the Conquerors Global Assembly—an international Christian ministry).
The full post, titled “Walking in the Reality of God’s Glory: Embracing Growth in 2026”, appears on ODM Daily (a popular Christian devotional site). Here’s the key content:
Main Message
As we enter 2026, God’s glory in our lives is not static—it’s meant to grow and increase progressively.
- Scripture Foundation: 2 Corinthians 3:18 (NIV): “And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.”
- Glory is dynamic, like growth in nature (e.g., crops growing larger in fertile soil). It advances through stages—we shouldn’t stay in “last year’s class” of glory.
- Reference to John 14:12: Believers are called to do even greater works.
How to Experience Growing Glory
- Create Space: Make room by removing distractions and opening your heart (Psalm 24:7: “Lift up your heads… that the King of glory may come in”).
- Create Atmosphere: Build fertile “soil” through faith, worship, obedience, and community (like the parable of the sower in Matthew 13).
- Create Hunger: Maintain deep desire for more of God (Proverbs 27:7 on hunger making even bitter things sweet).
– Prepare as a vessel: 2 Timothy 2:21.
Conclusion and Prayer
Don’t cling to past glory—step into greater dimensions in 2026 for personal growth and kingdom impact.
Prayer: “Lord, help me to walk in the reality of Your ever-increasing glory. Prepare my heart as fertile soil, and lead me into greater things for Your name’s sake. Amen.”
This message encourages intentional spiritual growth for the new year.
