We are Created For God’s Worship

“Worship the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs.”Psalm 100:2

God is hooked up so much on worship; He had to create mankind solely for that purpose – to supply Him worship. We are created for God’s worship – Period!

We are created to give Him pleasure, to give Him glory. The reason you are alive is to supply God true heartfelt spiritual worship.

Now, I’m not talking about singing songs either fast or slow; for that is just an expression of your worship attitude. It’s just an expression of the real thing.

The real thing is this – living your life, and ordering your conversation…

DO NOT BE CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD BUT BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God (Romans 12:2)

A lot of struggles go on in the mind of a man on a daily basis. The struggles come in form of negative thoughts and suggestions which the devil use to introduce confusion, doubts and ultimately lure his victims into committing sin.

In Ephesians 6:17, Apostle Paul recommends “The Helmet Of Salvation”, which symbolizes a protection of our minds from the onslaughts of the devil.

The practical ways…

WALKING WITH
GOD

“For what seems to be God’s
foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and what seems to be God’s weakness is
stronger than human strength………….God has chosen the foolish things of the world
to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the World to
put to shame the things which are mighty” (1 Corinthians 1:25; 27)

Walking with
God is not just a duty, it is a calling. We are called to fellowship with God
and for our fellowship to be intimate and rewarding we must be ready to trust
and obey God. Genesis 26 reveals what practical obedience entails.

KNOWLEDGE IS
POWER

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge..……” (Hosea 4:6a)

Knowledge
indeed is power, so the quest for knowledge is a worthy pursuit as it is many
times the one factor that distinguishes the potentials of one person from that
of another.

Influence
comes with knowledge, and so does the capacity to lead others. People who have
sought to exercise power over others have succeeded largely by denying the
subjects access to knowledge or information, or the ability to independently
acquire knowledge.

It is true
in the physical as it is in the spiritual, and since we straddle both realms,
we are invited to show ourselves approved of God through study, a…

BE CONSCIOUS
OF WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST JESUS

Jesus said unto him, have I been so
long time with you, and yet have thou not known me, Philip? He that has seen me
has seen the Father….. (John 14:9)

When Jesus
walked the earth, He had the consciousness of a king that distinguished Him
from the crowd. He had no consciousness of lack and He always confidently spoke
words that amazed the religious people of His day.

One day, He
said “the words that I speak unto you,
they are spirit, and they are life.” Jesus knew His Words weren’t empty; He
was conscious of His divinity and boldly declared it. In John 6:38 He said “for I came…

SEVEN
GLORIES OF THE GIVER

Those who do
not give are like dustbins.

Be an
incurable giver

1. 1.
   DIVINE BREAKTHROUGHGENESIS 18: 1-14

Abraham saw and ran after strangers to entertain them. He was a voluntary
giver. What he had been waiting for, for 25 years came that day. Givers do not
know the day when the breakthrough will come.

1. 2.
   DIVINE PRESERVATION (THE WIDOW OF
   ZAREPHATH) 1 KINGS 17:8-16.

Why did God send Elijah to the widow? God knew she was a giver; she was
saved with her household.

Be an obsessed giver.

God will preserve a passionate giver.

1. 3.
   DIVINE TREASURER 2 KINGS  4:8-17

The Shunammite woman voluntarily gave to Elisha. She gave food, then a
home. God gave her what money cannot buy: A
Child.

1. 4.
   OVERFLOWING GLORY 2 CHRONCLE 1:6-12

God

Solomon gave 1000 burnt offerings to God

THE PRAYER
OF FAITH

And Jesus answering said unto them,
Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto
this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not
doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he said shall
come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he said (Mark 11:22-23)

The prayer
of faith is one of the different kinds of prayer and it has it peculiar rules
and requirements. This prayer involves making a request to God and speaking to
circumstances without having any doubt in your heart. When Jesus said here,
“Have faith in God” (Mark 11:22), some marginal references show us that it
actually reads “Have the faith of God”. In other words, Jesus said, “Have the
God-kind of faith; the supernatural faith that God applies.”

The word
“believe” in…

FOR GOD SO
LOVED THE THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON

For God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but
have everlasting life (John 3:16)

John 3:16 is
probably the most popular verse in the Bible, but many haven’t understood the
power of that little powerful verse. What world did God love? Was it the hills
and the mountains? Was it the vegetations and the rivers? It was none of these.
He loved the world of human beings, as sinful and wicked as they were! Doesn’t
it amaze you that even when Adamsinned back in the garden, it was still God
who came looking for him (Genesis 3). Adam was hiding from God, because he had
sinned, yet God still covered his nakedness with animal skin, showing that he loved
him.

The Bible
says “Herein…

THERE IS
HOPE FOR YOU

Now the God of hope fill you with all
joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of
the Holy Ghost (Romans 15:13)

Hope is the
positive expectation of a desired end. It’s a virtue that gives you strength and
a purpose. Only Jesus Christ can give you extraordinary hope. When you have
that kind of hope, you’ll be propelled to look forward to tomorrow with
excitement, because hope is for the future. It’s to expect with confidence; to
cherish a desire with anticipation of a positive outcome.

We find an
example of this from the story of the woman who had an issue of blood for
twelve years. She had spent all her earnings on medical bills, but instead of
getting better, she only got worse. She heard about Jesus, and on a certain
day, came up behind…

HE SENT HIS
WORD, AND HEALED THEM, AND DELIVERED THEM FROM THEIR DESTRUCTIONS

Psalm 107:20

Psalm 107
gives a graphic picture of those who are in trouble. It says “Fools because of their transgressions, and
because of their iniquities, are afflicted. Their soul abhorred all manner of
food; and they draw near unto the gates of death” (verse 17-18). Who are
these “fools?” it’s talking about those that reject knowledge of God’s Word.
They experience all kinds of trouble in their lives because of their ignorance
of the Word.

Then, the
Bible says they “cry unto the Lord in
their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses” (verse 19). But
how exactly did the Lord save them? The Bible says, He sent HIS WORD, and healed them… “His answer
to their crying was to send His Word! This is the principle you need to

WE ARE CITIZENS OF HEAVEN

But there’s far more
to life for us. We’re citizens of high heaven! We’re waiting the arrival of the
Saviour, the Master, Jesus Christ (Philippians 3:20 MSG)

When you were born again, your citizenship changed
instantly! Your real citizenship is not the one on your international passport,
because having been born again, the Bible says “ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the
saints, and of the household of God” (Ephesians 2:19). Your real citizenship is
in heaven. The Message Translation puts it this way: “…….You’re no longer wandering exiles. This kingdom of faith is now
your home country. You’re no longer strangers or outsiders. You belong here,
with as much right to the name Christians as anyone…..” (Ephesians 2:19).

Hebrews 12:22-24 says,
“You have come to Mount Zion, and unto the city of the living…

THE WORD OF
GOD IS POWERFUL

So mightily grew the Word of God and
prevailed (Acts 19:20)

The Word of
God is powerful, for it is the power that created the universe and the force
that keeps everything in its course (Hebrews 1:3). Once you can open your heart
to the Word and receive it by faith, there’s no limit to what it can do in your
life. The Word of God doesn’t consider the size of the problem or the gravity
of the doctor’s report, neither is it intimidated by the name of the sickness
or disease. It has no restrictions; all it requires is for you to believe and
have absolute faith in it. In other words, when you receive God’s Word gladly
into your heart, believing what it says and confessing the same with your
mouth, you’re creating the right environment for the Word to…

FRAMED
BY THE WORD OF GOD

And he said unto them, cast the net
on the right side of the boat, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and they
were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes (John 21:6)

The
Lord Jesus appeared to His disciple many times after His resurrection. On one
of such occasions, He appeared to them when they were returning from an
unsuccessful fishing trip. The disciples, who had gone back to fishing, had
toiled all night at sea and caught nothing. When Jesus appeared to them in the
morning, He asked them if they caught anything, but their reply was negative.
Jesus then said to them, “Cast the net on
the right side of the ship and you shall find” (John 21:6)

I
want you to mark Jesus’ word carefully, He said, “Cast the net on the right side of the…

YOUR BODY NEEDS REST!

And He said unto them, “Come ye
yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest awhile: for there were many
coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat (Mark 6:31)

Many times
we just work and work and don’t know when to give our bodies the necessary
rest. It’s good to be hardworking and very diligent at work but at the same
time it’s equally important to realize that the human body has a limit of
exertion it can endure. Stretching it beyond that limit makes the body subject
to unnecessary wear and tear.

It’s
therefore important you take very good care of your body, not only in the
things you eat and do to your body, but also in making sure your body is well
rested. The Bible tells us how that God

WE ARE KINGS
AND PRIESTS

And has made us unto our God Kings
and Priests: and we shall reign on the earth (Revelation 5:10)

Jesus said
in Matthew 18:18“Whatsoever ye shall
bind on earth shall bind in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth
shall be loosed in heaven.” Here, Jesus didn’t mean that as you bind something
on earth, God does the same thing in heaven. No. He meant that when you bind
something on earth, you’re making a decree, and that decree is upheld by God in
heaven.

God has made
us kings, (Revelation 5:10), and the Bible says in Ecclesiastes 8:4, “Where the Word of a king is, there is
power.” As God’s Words carry…

HEAVEN

I wonder what Heaven will be like?

Heaven is a place of tremendous joy – once we get there, we
will like it much more than anywhere we’re ever been. We don’t know yet exactly
what heaven will be like. We only know that it will be wonderful!

In heaven, our bodies will be different from what they are
now. We will be able to recognize each other, but we won’t need food or
sleep.  Everyone who has been saved by
God will be there. This means we will get to talk with people we read about in
the Bible. And we won’t have to worry about the weather – the temperature,
humidity, our income, bills, taxes and expenditures.

We won’t even have to be concerned about what to wear – God
will give us clothes.

Heaven is a wonderful place, filled with joy, love, and
happiness! Amen!

IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST

Whatsoever ye shall
ask the Father in My Name, He will
give it you (John 16:23)

All through the Scriptures, there’s no place where
Christians are asked to pray to Our
Lord and Saviour JESUS CHRIST or through
Our Lord and Saviour JESUS CHRIST.

What the Bible teaches is that we pray in the Name of Our Lord and Saviour JESUS CHRIST, for that’s the
right way to pray.

There’re folks who when they pray, would say, “Lord Jesus
Christ, I ask that You grant me such and such in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!.” That’s
wrong. You don’t pray to Our Lord Jesus Christ in His Name, neither do we pray
to our Heavenly Fatherthrough the
Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. We pray to Our Heavenly Father in the Name
of our Lord Jesus Christ. That’s the Bible way to…

I WONDER WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO SEE GOD (ISAIAH 6)

Prophet Isaiah found out!  He had a vision of what it would be like to
see God. And God was very great and mighty.

He is surrounded by angels. When the
angels spoke, the Temple shook and was filled with smoke. It was both wonderful
and frightening.

Seeing The Lord and listening to the praise of the angels,
Isaiah realized that he was unfit to be in God’s presence. He cried out because
of his sinfulness. Then an angel brought a burning coal and announced that his
sins are forgiven.

Our God is great and awesome; He is also loving and
forgiving. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that God is weak or small just
because you can’t see Him.

And don’t make mistake of ignoring the forgiveness He offers
through Our Lord

WE ARE MIRACLE WORKERS

Verily, verily, I say
unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and
greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father (John 14:112)

Our Lord Jesus Christ
performed several miracles while He was here on earth; He healed the sick,
raised the dead, multiplied food, and turned water into wine. His life was an
unending stream of the miraculous. As He prepared to leave the earth, He
declared that those who believed in Him would do even greater works than He
did. That means He has made us miracle workers just like Him! He said “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that
believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than
these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”

When Peter and John…

THE VIRTUOUS WOMAN

What a girl to do?

Some people have the mistaken idea that a woman should be
very concerned about her looks, up on the latest fashions, and look out for
herself.

But that’s not what God describes in the Bible. The woman
described in proverbs 31 is an excellent wife and mother. She is able to
balance both career and family. It may surprise you that her appearance is
never ever mentioned! This is because the best kind of attractiveness is an
inward beauty. It comes from a woman’s character.

See this woman as an inspiration to be all you can be!

Who can find a
virtuous and capable wife? She is worth more than precious rubies. Her husband
can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life. She will not hinder him
but help him all her life.

She finds wool and
