SERVING THE LORD

“So you shall serve (Worship) the Lord your God and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you. No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days” (Exo 23:25-26)
The Lord God almighty who is self existence that knows all things and can do all things demands that work for Him as a servant, render obedience and worship to Him, that is do something useful for Him and supply His needs God has a need a need that He desire you and I to supply so that He can always delight in us and equally supply our needs.
The greatest service we can offer to God who is all-sufficient (The El-Shaddai) is to offer Him worship. Jesus Christ asserted and reminded the devil that is responsibility is to worship and serve the Lord. “Then Jesus said to him, away with you Satan, for it is written “You shall worship the Lord your God and Him only you shall serve” (Matthew 4:10) if it is written concerning the devil (Satan) to worship the Lord and serve Him be rest assured that is clearly written also for you to serve the Lord.
“Serve the Lord with gladness; come before His presence with singing” (Psalm 100:2). It is expedient for everything that has breath to worship and praise the Lord.
God is looking for servants who will bring Him praise, thanksgiving, worship. Jesus Christ asserted the need to render obedience and worship to the almighty as long as you have breath. The reason why you are a created is to worship and serve the Lord. “But the hour is coming and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking for such to worship Him. God is spirit and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth” (John 4: 23-24).
So many people today claim to worship God but worship what they do not know. True worship of God comes as a result of relationship (Father-Son relationship). You will find it boring worshiping or waiting on the Lord in service if you are born of water and of the spirit that is you are genuinely born again and you are growing in your relationship with almighty God (the Father of all Spirit). It will take a spirit being to worship a spirit God (John 3:5-7).
To worship God in truth is not a religious exercise it is an act that comes up based on the revelation of God, that how much of God has been revealed through you in His word. (Rhema). You don’t worship God in a stereotype manner or according to what you have memorized but on how much truth of Him you know.
This is why so many people lack of praise, honour, worship or songs when they come before God in a worship service or in their family alter. I pray that as you read through this message your spirit mind will be quicken to grasp the truth about serving the Lord.
“For since the creation of the world this invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by things that are made even His eternal power and God head so that they are without excuse, because although they knew god, they did not glorify him as god, nor were thankful but became futile in their thoughts and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools” (Rom 1:20-22)
You must worship and serve God based on His attributes which are clearly seen, His almightiness, greatness, His eternal power which is incomparable and inexhaustible need to be acknowledge and appreciated. Praise Him for his wonderful and mighty acts. Be thankful for his passed deeds to you present deeds and future deeds.
Worship Him, thank Him and praise Him much more than your boss that just handed over to you your letter of promotion with all the benefits which is 100 times what it used to be.
Come before God with the right word of praise and worship, make it a regular habit, it will amaze you how things will turn around in your favour.
“Whoever offers praise glorifies me, and to him who orders his conversation (conduct) aright, I will show the salvation of God”. (Psalm 50:23)
Right worship brings about salvation of God-blessing upon your bread, water, fruitfulness, preservation of life, property, maturity of vision and fulfilment of gods.
Whose service and worship will be accepted by God:-
- A man who honour and highly esteemed God in his heart, whose heart is not futile or set on vain things but on God and his glory.
- A holy and pure vessel that is totally yield to God as a living sacrifice (Rom 12:1)
God deserved to be praise and worship. He is the most benevolent father. You cannot serve Him rightly and regret doing so. You cannot praise Him sufficiently without Him given you a raise in life. You cannot bow down before Him and challenges, obstacles and evil forces and agents will continue to stand against you.
Wise people worship and serve the lord JESUS CHRIST. Worship him and praise for at least 30 minutes today, tell Him how good, great and awesome He is, call Him by His name. Stand in awe of Him. “And when they had come unto the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down and worshipped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to him- gold frankincense and myrrh”. (Mat 2:11)
Prayer:
1) Lord whatever will not allow my worship and service to be acceptable to you, remove and take them from my life.
2) Give me the power to daily offer you worship and service in spirit and truth.
