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: 
Psalms 82-84; Romans 8:19-39

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
