STILL ON WORSHIP

-
Matthew 4:10(NLT)
“Get out of here, Satan,” Jesus told him. “For the Scriptures say,
‘You must worship the lord your God and serve only him.’”

1Chronicles 23:30
 to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at evening;

Psalms 30:12
 To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

The act of worship involves reverence.
Our every day lives should not be complete without us giving reverence to the Heavenly Father, in school, workplace, in our business, in church, at home, in the bus, in your car, in the airplane, everywhere.

John 9:31(NLT)
We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but he is ready to hear those who worship him and do his will.

The reason for your creation was to worship God, we were made to be an extension of His Kingdom.

Do we always worship God. Worship is attributed to a deity and is even synonymous to idolatry. Another synonym is idolatry. (according to the English dictionary).

We therefore should note that when we do not worship God, something else is worshipped.

Exodus 20:3
 "You shall have no other gods before me"

Exodus 20:4
 "You shall not make for yourself any carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;

Revelation 19:10
 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

Today some believers have become worshippers of mammon these even include some pastors and ministers, some worship angels and other beings, some worship self and some worship other humans. (Read Romans 1:21-32)

Acts 12:22-23(NLT)
The people gave him a great ovation, shouting, “It’s the voice of a god, not of a man!”
Instantly, an angel of the Lord struck Herod with a sickness, because he accepted the people’s worship instead of giving the glory to God. So he was consumed with worms and died.

One of the ways to know who you worship is to identify who you consider first when you take a decision, what you meditate on, what you spend time on and what your motivation is. Take time to consider these, then you understand who or what truly you worship.

Today may we worship God in spirit and in truth.

 John 4:24
"God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

John 4:23
"But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

Do you know that staying in worship provokes revelations?

Revelation 1:10(NLT)
It was the Lord’s Day, and I was worshiping in the Spirit. Suddenly, I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet blast.

As we continue in our daily work this week, may we remember to spend time in awesome worship.

Prayer: Lord I worship for who are, you are awesome, the Almighty, all glory be to you Father.

He calls you blessed.

Love
@ the watcher

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
