TOPIC: GOD ALONE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED AND ADORED 

TEXT: PSALM 22:22-25
22. I will declare Thy name unto my brethren: In the midst of the congregation will I praise Thee.
23. Ye that fear the LORD, praise Him; All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify Him; And fear Him, all ye the seed of Israel.
24. For He hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Neither hath He hid His face from Him; But when he cried unto Him, He heard.
25. My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear Him.

KEY VERSE: ISAIAH 42:8. I am the LORD: that is My name: and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven images.

Direct your praises to God. Let God be the enthroned image or personality in your heart when you are offering praise, thanksgiving, and worship. Direct your adoring praise and worship to God and not to His creatures. Worship God and not His angels. Worship God and not man. Give praise, honour, and worship to God for the beauty, virtues, excellence, and glory you see in His creatures. 

God alone is worthy to be praised and adored. The pastor may be highly anointed and virtuous; the preachers, singers, and others may be so 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 hearts to themselves, but to God. We can show appreciation to man for yielding himself to God, but praise and adoration should be given to God. 

God perfected beauty in the creation of Lucifer and gave him special anointing for His own glory. But at a time, Lucifer began to magnify himself among the angels because of these qualities. A third of the angels began to give glory to Lucifer because he was specially made and not to God, who created him. 

This misplacement of praise and glory led to their expulsion from heaven and condemnation to everlasting destruction in the lake of fire. Christians must be warned against this error of Lucifer and the fallen angels!! When Nebuchadnezzar did not give the glory to God, but to himself for the great Babylon he had built, God reduced him to a bush animal, till he should know that the Most-High rules in the kingdom of men. 

When Herod received undue praise and adoration from depraved men, he was stricken by an angel and eaten by worms, because he did not give God the glory and praise. Do not take God's glory and praise, nor give it to another. 

Thought For the day: Make Jesus the focus of your life, not any man.

Song For the day: Worthy is the lamb that was slain to receive glory and honour....

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 6-8

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
