People willing to worship God effectively meditate of His character

Greetings to you my dear friends! Mercy and peace of our Heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you! Yesterday we discussed the necessity to think about God focusing our attention on Him, later it helps us to worship God in prayer.Let´s see what people were focused on before the great flood:
 «Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.» (Genesis 6:5).
Thoughts and desires of their hearts had always been evil. I wish you realise that your thoughts are a part of your spiritual life. We read in the verse above that everything people were thinking about and searching for before the great flood was evil. That´s why they were unable to worship God. A person constantly focusing his his mind on evil things can´t see a reason to praise and worship God. Worship softens our hearts and brings peace that makes changes in your life. Therefore, it´s us who need worship not the God.We worship God thinking about Him.
«Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers, backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;» (Rom.1:28-31).
Thinking about God and His Majesty, focusing our mind on Him should become something we are constantly worried about. That´s what Jesus taught His disciples. You have to look at God with the eyes of your heart before you open your mouth for prayer.Humble meditation of the God´s character He revealed to us is another way of how to worship Him. We receive His mercy when reading His Word, this, in turn, testifies about God´s character.
«I will exalt you, my God, the King. I will praise your name forever and ever. Every day I will praise you. I will extol your name forever and ever. Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised! His greatness is unsearchable. One generation will commend your works to another, And will declare your mighty acts. Of the glorious majesty of your honour, Of your wondrous works, I will meditate. Men will speak of the might of your awesome acts. I will declare your greatness. They will utter the memory of your great goodness, And will sing of your righteousness.» (Psalm 144:1-7).
That´s what David is saying about his intention to meditate of God´s acts and His Majesty, His mercy and righteousness. People willing to worship God effectively meditate of His character. For example we say – God is love. You can begin thinking of God´s love towards you, your family members and so on. Doing so you will adore Him, you will also receive a revelation that God really is love. Once you start reasoning about the Almighty God, you realise you can do all things, just because the Almighty God is with you. Moreover, it´s not an agreement with your mind, but it came through your heart. That´s why worship is a transforming power that forms the way you think and helps you to focus your attention on God. The greater you see our God the smaller you see your problems, indeed.Be blessed in the Lord! Meet you tomorrow again! Rufus Adjiboye, pastor

  • Without God I cannot, but with Him I can do all!

    We can not do the works of God without God. Very often in our own strength, we try to do what God requires us to do with Him. Often we rely on ourselves and on things we already know. Often we rely on our experience. But when the prayer is our priority we understand that when relying on ourselves and doing the job without prayer, we are wasting time and energy. Without a strong prayer movement in the church, the church vision cannot be accomplished. It´s just not possible!
  • You won’t have a ministry if you don’t start using what you have now

    The topic of our devotion today is “Your gift will make room for you”.We have been talking about how all big things start small, whether it is a known person, great ministry, great accomplishments or great influence. It all starts when a person does what he can do and does it with all his might as unto the Lord with faith and consistency. When one has such attitude towards life he will have his or her reward from the Lord. Such a person will be blessed and exalted by God. His or her gift will make room for him or her in God’s overall picture and the Body of Christ.Person’s gift will make room for him and will bring him before great men, – this is on of the Bible principles; the Bible teaches about it and also it can be seen in the lives of the people in the Bible.
  • How we gain or receive the Fear of God in our life?

    First, we must choose with our will to have the fear of God above all else. Proverbs 1:29 says, “Since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the Lord…” God will not give this fear to us unless we want it. We must see this as something we choose above all else because we desperately need it.
  • Allow you trouble to enlarge you instead of breaking you

    Trouble can either break you or make you. It all depends on your reaction. We will examine the example of David and allow him to teach us today how to react in difficult situation.“Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. 2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah. 3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
  • Why is it so important to hold on to eternal life?

    If you won’t be alert and pray, you won’t even notice how eternal life will slip away from you. Have you ever tried to hold a live fish in your hands? Even if you manage to take it, it can cunningly slip out of your hands. In the very same way eternal life can slip away from you without you even noticing. You won’t notice the moment when that happens. You could go on with your religious activities, attending church meetings, praying, reading the Bible, but not be on the way to eternal life. None of these things is able to guarantee to you that you will surely keep eternal life. You know, so many unbelievers do all these things: they go to church, read their Bibles, pray.
  • Preparation is a key to effective life!

    In reality, effective life is impossible without appropriate preparation. Jesus solved the question of effectiveness by preparing Himself for the ministry. There is almost no information about what Jesus had been doing during the first 30 years of His life. Gospels tell us the story about His ministry. Meanwhile, we need to understand that prior to starting His ministry Jesus had been seriously preparing himself for quite a long time.
