TOPIC: GOD ALONE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED, ADORED AND WORSHIPPED
TEXT: PSALM 145:1-10
Key Verse: “Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our king, sing praises” Psalm 47:6.
God is the universal person of praise, adoration and worship. Living and non-living things praise and worship Him. He is the creator who made all things for His glory and praise. He ordained praise, thanksgiving and worship of Himself as the duty of His creatures. He inhabits the praise and worship of His saints. Worship God and not His angels. Worship God and not man. Give praise, honour and adoration to God for the beauty, virtues, excellence and glory you see in His angelic creatures, human creatures, animate and inanimate creatures. God alone is worthy to be praised and adored. Worshippers in Christian assembly must focus their hearts on God alone. Direct your praises to God. Let God be the enthroned image or personality in your heart when you are offering praise, thanksgiving and worship. The pastor may be highly anointed and virtuous; the preachers, singers, and others may be gifted, talented and saintly, but they should not be the focus of the worshippers. It is God who gave them the grace, wisdom, anointing, gifts, talents, and wealth. He is the one to be worshipped. God will not give His glory to another. Ministers in the church must not direct the people's heart to themselves, but to God. We can show appreciation to man for yielding himself to God so that divine grace and virtues pass through him to bless fellow men, but praise and adoration should be given to God alone.
This same principle should rule the family, human institution and nation. God perfected beauty in the creation of Lucifer and gave him special anointing but a time came Lucifer began to magnify himself, and one-third of the angels began to give glory to him. This misplacement of praise and glory led to their displacement from heaven to everlasting destruction. When Nebuchadnezzar usurped the glory of God for the great Babylon he had built, God practically turned him into an animal and sent him to dwell in the forest until he acknowledged His dominion and supremacy (Daniel 5:18-21). When Herod received undue praise and adoration from depraved men, he did not forbid them; neither did he transfer this glory to God. He was stricken by an angel of God and devoured alive by worms (Acts 12:21-23).
Thought for the day: Do not take God’s glory and praise, neither give His glory and praise to another.
Song for the day: You are the Lord, that is your name. You will never share your glory …
