GOD IS THE FOCUS OF PRAISE, THANKSGIVING, AND WORSHIP

TEXT: PSALM 47:6-7 

MONDAY AUGUST 8th

Key verse: Psalm 47:7 “For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding”.
We are to sing praises to God, give thanks, and worship Him with understanding. This makes the praises and worship of God to be meaningful and pleasant. It makes our praise, thanksgiving, and worships a sacrifice of a sweet-smelling savor, acceptable by God. This entails that:
1. We know Who we praise, thank and worship: God is worthy of praise, thanks, and worship. All creatures praise and worship Him as the One who made all things for His glory. He ordained praise, thanksgiving, and worship of Himself as the duty of His creatures. He redeemed fallen man from sin for His praise and worship. He inhabits the praise and worship of His saints. Praise and worship of God are to the Godhead; the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
2. Praise the name of the Lord: The name of the Lord is His Person. It is the same thing with the Person of the Lord. To praise the name of the Lord means to praise the Lord. Exodus 3:13-15: 
3. Praise God for His Holiness: Revelation 4:8-11. God is holy. His name is holy. His word is holy. His throne is holy. His dwelling place, heaven, is holy. His angels are holy. The saints in heaven are holy. All living creatures in heaven are holy. God lives forever. He is all-powerful and all-wise. He is unique. He sustains the created worlds. He is truthful, faithful, and dependable. His holiness is the reason for His judgment against sin and evildoers, His perfect love for us, the atonement of Jesus Christ, our salvation and sanctification, and our holiness.
4. Praise God for His marvelous works: The creative works of God, visible and invisible, are marvelous. God controls and maintains the universe, Satan and his wicked demons, and sustains men and women of all races on the earth in His marvelous wisdom and power. God's redemptive works among men on earth through the gospel of His Son Jesus Christ require praise and worship.

Thought for the day: Praise and worship are all that man can offer to God

Song for the day: Heavenly Father You are wonderful…

Bible reading for the day:

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
