Publisher's Synopsis
Too often we give our careers, things, people, fame, money or personal goals priority in our lives. In doing so we don't fully appreciate the important people in our lives, we alienate our selves from them physically and emotionally. As a result they may become disappointed, angry, resentful, jealous and vengeful. When this happens no one gets the maximum benefits of being in the relationship. Our earthly relationships mirror the relationship we have with God. God always makes his creation his priority; he heals us, delivers us, provides for us and delivers us, but we don't do the same for him. We put other things before him which disappoints him and makes him jealous. As a result we don't reap the full benefits of being his children, we don't get everything we are entitled to.In Don't Treat God Like a Side Dude or Side Chick! Put God First! Pastor Franzetta L Ivy parallels our natural relationships with our relationship with God. Pastor Ivy reveals how God loves us and is always faithful to us and how not being faithful to God affects our natural relationships. Pastor Ivy reveals how our unfaithfulness to God puts him in a position of someone who is 2nd tier, unimportant, a person of convenience, an after thought only when you get into trouble. Someone that is a secret, only summoned when no one else is available, a quick fix, instant gratification because you know they are always waiting around just to get a little of your attention like a mistress. Instead he should be first not last because he is entitled to love, faithfulness and loyalty, and most importantly because he wiped out a debt we could not pay (Sin).Stop Treating God Like a Side Dude or Side Chick! Put God First! will help you identify the areas where you are not putting God first and profoundly yet simplistically gives the reader the tools and strategies to put God first. These tools used insight-fully will please and delight God which will render him what he's entitled to from you, and keep him from being disappointed and jealous. As a result of putting God first you will gain access to unimaginable heights God has in store for you. Get ready to receive your full benefits and inheritance in this life and in the afterlife because you are a child of the King.
