YOU MUST PRAISE AND HONOUR GOD THE FATHER ALMIGHTY
It is a great thing to
praise and honour the Lord. Whoever learns to do this is a wise individual
indeed. Do you know why you must praise God and honour Him always?
According to His Word in the
Holy Bible in Deuteronomy 11:14, To the Lord belong even the highest heavens;
the earth is His also, and everything in it.
It is also written in
Deuteronomy 11:17, "The Lord your God is supreme over all gods and over
all powers. He is great and mighty, and He is to be feared. He does not show
partiality, and He does not accept bribes."
God is the Supreme Being,
the Greatest, the Best, the Holiest, the Mightiest, the Wisest, the Most
Powerful, the Finest, etc etc. There is none like Him. There has never been,
there can never be.
What a mighty God we have.
Nothing is too difficult for Him and nothing is impossible for Him (Jeremiah
32:27). He is the owner of everything. So who else are we to worship, honour
and praise if not Him?
It is even in our own
interest that we worship, honour, adore, praise and glorify God Almighty the
Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Whether we praise Him or not, it
does not add to His greatness; it adds nothing to His Majesty and His Glory.
When we praise the Lord with
a genuine heart free from sin and evil, we simply find favour with Him because
He is always ready to accept us who are created in His own image and likeness.
He is always ready to listen
to us if we live as He has commanded. The Book of Psalm 29:2 says "Give
unto the Lord the glory due to His name; Worship the Lord in the beauty of
holiness.
God says in 1 Samuel 2:30,
"I will honour those who honour Me, and I will treat with contempt those
who despise Me." God called David, King of Israel, a man after His (God's)
own heart (Acts 13:22; 1 Samuel 13:13-14).
One of the reasons amongst
many God said that was because David knew the value of praising and honouring
God (2 Samuel 6:5; 1 Chronicles 16:4-7; 1 Chronicles 25). David was so
conscious of praising God that he established a choir to sing praise to God day
and night continuously (1 Chronicles 9:33).
Dear friend, if you must be
a person after God's own heart, then learn today to praise and honour Him in
all you do. No matter what you are encountering today, you must remember that
it is only God who can get you out of that situation. Praise Him for the things
He has done for you that you can surely count and remember and God will surely
get you out of any problem.
Learn to honour God today in
all you do by faithfully obeying His commands and God will surely reward you
for seeking Him diligently (Hebrews 11:6).
Dear friend, though there
are many way ways to honour God the Father Almighty, the best honour you can
give to Him is by believing His Word in the Holy Bible, repenting sincerely of
sin, wrongdoing and evil and accepting His Son our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ (Acts 2:37-39).
This is because Jesus Christ
is the ONLY Way to Salvation, the ONLY Way to God, the ONLY Way to true peace
and happiness in the midst of all challenges here on earth and the ONLY Way to
eternal life in the hereafter.
Choose Jesus Christ today
and begin your journey to eternity with Him. The Lord God bless you mightily as
you heed His Word today, act on it and share with others in the Mighty Name of
Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
