Topic: DOES OUR WORSHIP BENEFIT GOD?
"I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall l be saved from mine enemies."- Psalm 18:3
Bible reading: Revelation 5:11-13Message:
May the lord give you divine insights into His word as you start reading today’s open heavens talking about WORSHIP.
Giving is a common and crucial activity that every serious minded believer in Christ should regularly engage in. The wise believer would hear this and flow with it, but those who think they are “smart will hear and ignore it to their own undoing.
Luke 6:38 says that you should give and it shall be given to you. Have you ever asked yourself who benefits when you give to God? Can you make God richer by giving to the owner of the universe? Can you add to the owner of silver and gold by giving to Him?
Everything you have, you received from Him (1 Corinthians 4:7). You are the one who gains from giving to God. When you refuse to give, who loses? The Holy Spirit answers that question in Proverbs 11:24:
“There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. If you fail to give, you are the one who loses. Why? Your giving determines how far you go in life. Over flowing abundance is a product of sacrificial giving.
If you have been sowing sacrificially to God and His Kingdom but you have not yet reached the level of swimming in abundance, you should be celebrated Why? It is because you are not likely to die until God pays you back in full. The One who said we should owe no man cannot afford to owe you.
Moreover, when you praise God, who gains? Can your praises add to Him in reality? In Psalm 18:1-3, David said several things about who God was to him. He said God is worthy to be praised, because he realised that when he praised God, he got delivered from his enemies. In other words, refusing to praise God would have resulted in him becoming a casualty in the hands of his enemies. (God will never allow you to become a casualty in the hands of your enemies in Jesus name)
So who loses if you refuse to praise God? Today’s Bible reading talks about God’s mass choir in Heaven. It says the size is something like 100 trillion.
If God has such a great choir of angels and saved souls worshipping Him, what difference will adding or subtracting your voice from it make? Do you think that God will miss your voice? Therefore, who gains from worshipping an praising God?Please, share this message with all your social media friends and families by clicking on he social buttons !
It is you! Every time God demands that we give something to Him, it is for our own good and not His. Only the fellow who wants to deceive himself or herself will think otherwise.
Action Point:
Serve and worship God because your life, joy and peace depend on it.
