Those who worship idols are like idols and those who worship God, enjoy the attributes of Living God. Psalm 84:7 “They Go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion Appeareth before God.”

Psalm 29:1-2, “Give unto the Lord, O ye mighty, give unto the Lord Glory and Strength; Give unto the Lord The Glory due Unto His Name; Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.” Revelation 19:10, “Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy.”

Worship of God is a very critical and crucial aspect of our Christian life. Worship, is giving the “worth ” to the One Who is Supreme, Sovereign and Omnipotent. We are expected to worship the One Who has the unassailable Power to do and undo; the One that can kill or make alive; the One Who can make rich or render poor. The One we worship must exhibit sanctified quality of a position of Holiness, Righteousness, Power, Benevolence, Justice, etc., that cannot be found among mortal Men and Angels. The One Who is the Creator of all, is the One Who deserves to be worshipped. He is the Lawful and Legal Owner of all things. He owns all things; unto Him shall everyone pay obeisance and ascribe greatness. Everything God created was created to give God quality worship and pleasure. Revelation 4:11 “Thou Art Worthy, O Lord, to receive Glory and Honour and Power: for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created.”

Man can find mercy, his existence on earth, by giving God worship. God is already Great but when we praise God for His Greatness, His Anointing of Greatness will rub off on us. Those who worship idols are like idols and those who worship God, enjoy the attributes of Living God. Psalm 84:7 “They Go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion Appeareth before God.” And the secret of their strength, Psalm 84:4-5 “Blessed are they that Dwell in Thy House: they will be Still Praising Thee, Selah.” You cannot worship God amiss. In other words, you cannot worship God and not experience the tangibility of His Power, Attributes and Goodness. Seven Supernatural Blessings will accrue to you when you give God quality praise, thanksgiving and worship: (1) Supernatural Curse Cancellation. Genesis 8:20-21 “And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and Offered Burnt Offerings on the altar; and the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in His heart, I Will Not Again Curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; Neither Will I Again Smite any more everything living, as I have done.” Noah moved God to cancel generation cruses through burnt offering and worship. (2) Supernatural Deliverance. 1 Samuel 16:23 “And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was Refreshed, and was well, and the Evil Spirit Departed From him.”

David employed the instrument of Praise and Worship to Bring Deliverance to the demonised king Saul (3) Supernatural Intervention. Psalm 50:23 “Whoso Offereth Praise Glorifieth Me; and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew The Salvation of God.” When you praise and worship God, you will see the Salvation of God (4) Supernatural Direction/Impartation. Acts 13:2-3 “As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate Me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them; and when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, They Sent Them away.”

(5) Supernatural Multiplication. John 6:11 “And Jesus took the loaves; and when He had Given Thanks, He distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much they would.” John 11:41 “And Jesus lifted up His eyes, and said, Father, I Thank Thee that Thou hast heard Me.” Jesus our Lord used the instrument of thanksgiving to attract divine multiplication to feed thousands of people and to raise Lazarus from the dead (6) Supernatural Elimination. 2 Chronicles 20:22-23 “And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which come against Judah; and they were smitten; for the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, Every One Helped To Destroy Another.” (7) Supernatural Breakthrough. Matthew 15:25-28 “Then Came She and Worshipped Him, saying, Lord help me; But He answered and said, it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs; and she said, Truth, Lord: Yet The Dogs Eat Of The Crumbs Which Fall From Their Masters’ Table; Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that every hour.” It takes faith to worship God. Worship is a magnetic force that draws God into your situation and circumstance. Psalm 22:3 “But thou art Holy, O Thou That Inhabitest The Praises of Israel.” God will inhabit you when you spend time to give Him quality praise and worship.

PRAYER: Father God, I choose to worship You through the Lord Jesus by the Power of Your Holy Spirit. Thanks for Your Blessings upon my life as I worship You.
