Psalms Chapter 96 Devotional: An Offering Of Praise Unto The Lord
Thought for the day: Praise is the Offering that you can personally offer to God without any human interference or restrictions.
Message:
It is so humbling and beats imagination to realize that the Almighty God who created the Heavens and the Earth with everything in it, only demands our worship and praise, not any material things or possessions and that is why all materials, money, and items we are giving in Churches is still used by the Church, for His glorification and He appreciates it and blesses the givers in return.
It is also exciting to know that this offering of praise that is demanded by God is an offering that could be offered by anyone, at any place and at any point in time as long as their heart is right with God irrespective of their status.
If only what is needed to praise God is your spirit, soul and body, which is an indication that a man is living, I do not think anyone living should be persuaded before he convincingly launches himself to the deep of God worship and Praise, for only Him is worthy of our Praise.
Everything created by God including you is enough motivation to praise the King of all Kings, the LORD of Lords, the I AM That I AM, the reason you are living, the one who is, was and is to come, The Almighty.
He is to be praised with new songs and this usually flows out of the lips of a true worshipper that is worshipping in spirit and truth for His splendor, glory, marvelous deeds, greatness, and for His faithfulness and righteousness that He will exhibit in His judgment to come.
My Counsel
Ø Make it a lifestyle to be praising God in Spirit and in Truth regardless of any situation you find yourself in.
Ø Always praise Him for who He is, much more than you would praise Him for what He would do.
Ø Always acknowledge that He deserves your praise and you will always be moved to praise Him.
Declaration
Father, I acknowledge that you deserve my praise and your praise shall continually be in my mouth in the name of Jesus. Amen!
