TITLE: THE WONDERS OF WORSHIP
MEMORIZE: God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:24
BIBLE READING JOHN 4:23-24
[23]But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
[24]God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
MESSAGE
Worship is a reverential treatment/adoration given to something or someone. There are people who worship their parents, wealth, gadgets et cetera. Some worship man-made gods or animals, but today, we will consider worshipping God Almighty.
Worship means total submission to the one being worshipped. As a Christian, worshiping God should be the same as breathing. It should be a habit or lifestyle and should not be done occasionally.
When you worship God, He breaks the protocols to attend to you. It was forbidden for a prophet to touch a leper, but when the leper worshipped Jesus, He touched him and healed him immediately (Matthew 8:1-3).
Worship is a weapon of warfare. When three kings confronted the king of Judah in 2 Chronicles 20, God fought the battle for Judah when the people praised Him, and they had rest.
ACTION POINT
Sing songs of worship to the Lord for 15 minutes today.
HYMN 12 – HOLY, HOLY, HOLY! LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!
- Holy, Holy, Holy!
Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning
Our song shall rise to thee:
Holy, holy, holy,
Merciful and Mighty!
God in Three Persons,
Blessed, Trinity! - Holy, Holy, Holy!
All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns
Around the glassy sea:
Cherubim and seraphim
Falling down before Thee,
Which wert and art,
And evermore shalt be. - Holy, Holy, Holy!
Though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eyes of sinful man
Thy glory may not see
Only thou art holy:
There is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love, and purity. - Holy, Holy, Holy!
Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise
Thy name, in earth and sky, and sea;
Holy, Holy, Holy,
Merciful and Mighty!
God in Three Persons,
Blessed, Trinity!
