WORSHIPPING GOD IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH

God bless you for taking your time to study.

TOPIC: WORSHIPPING GOD IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH

TEXT: JOHN 4:20-24

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 26th

Key verse: John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth.
Jesus had a dialogue with the woman of Samaria on worship. She pointed to a mountain in her place and said their fathers worshipped there, but that the Jews were saying worship could only take place in Jerusalem. The word worship in the sense she used refers to the total of all the activities that go on in a place of religious meeting. 
The Jews were contented with Samaritans on the right place of worship. Jesus showed that the Samaritans did not know what they were worshipping. Only those who were saved could understand the Person of worship. The Jews were taught the way of salvation by which they could worship God with understanding. God’s temple was in Jerusalem and the Jews resorted to Jerusalem during prescribed feasts for worship. 
As the discussion proceeded, Jesus introduced to her the dispensation of grace in which worship would take a different dimension. Under the dispensation of the grace of God, worship is not in a place but the heart of worshippers. Hence the emphasis is not on the place of worship but on the life of worshippers. 
In the dispensation of grace, worship refers to full obedience to the word of God exhibited by a soul that is born again, which manifests in a work of righteousness and holiness. Many worshippers claim that they worship the living God, but not all of them are true worshippers of God. Jesus reveals that true worship is in spirit and truth. To worship God in spirit requires that the worshipper be a citizen of the kingdom of God. To be a citizen of God’s kingdom one must be born again.

Thought of the day: Worship God in the beauty of Holiness

Song for the day: Adonai we worship You, Son of God You are so good

Bible reading for the day:

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...
