What You Should Do First When You Wake Up in the Morning – According to Pastor E.A. Adeboye

 

Pastor E.A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God has offered a spiritual principle for daily living, urging believers to prioritize God first thing in the morning. Speaking at the Holy Ghost Congress of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, the revered cleric reminded attendees that seeking God at the start of the day opens the door for divine provision and guidance.

Quoting Psalm 34:1–3, Adeboye said, “David said, I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” He explained that even when David was a shepherd in the wilderness, he consistently praised God, which became a foundation for his greatness.

“What is the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning?” Adeboye asked. “I have good news for you—if you seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, everything you need, God will supply.” Drawing from Matthew 6:33, he emphasized that putting God first leads to provision, peace, and purpose.

According to the pastor, many Christians miss divine opportunities because they begin their days without acknowledging the presence of God. “You’re not an ordinary person,” he said. “You’ve been placed where you are to shine as a light, to influence your environment with godliness. Start your day with God and you’ll find His favor follows you.”

Adeboye added that believers should not only start the day with prayer and praise, but also with a consciousness of their divine assignment. “Your position in life is not accidental. You are there to take charge, to silence evil, and to be a witness for Christ,” he stressed.

He concluded with a charge for believers to develop a personal hunger for God. “It’s your hunger that will determine your greatness. Stay hungry for God, and He will lift you up.”

These spiritual principles, Adeboye noted, are not just about devotion but about living a purposeful and impactful life that honors God daily.
