BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

John 4:23 – But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

Worship is giving God the best that He has given you. Be careful what you do with the best you have. Whenever you get a blessing from God, give Him the best.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
Henceforth, your worship shall be acceptable to God and handsomely rewarded, in the Name of Jesus.

FIRE SCRIPTURE:
John 4:5-26

PRAISE AND WORSHIP
Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.

MESSAGE:
One timeless truth that every Christian should know is that worship is central to our existence and relationship with God, our Creator. He loves and rewards worship and we need to make it our preoccupation on earth, just as the spirit beings in Heaven do.

Since many believers miss out on the blessings attached to worship because they know very little about what it is and how it is done, today, we will turn our attention to learning how to worship God, using the Holy Bible as our guide. I have the strong conviction that once our knowledge as to how to worship God correctly is increased and enriched, we will access more of His blessings and our lives will fully show forth His glory.

The Bible tells us to worship the Lord in Spirit and truth (John 4:23), through the Bible (John 4:23), through prayer (Psalm 141:2), through thanksgiving (Hebrews 13:15), through worship (Psalm 104:33), through remembrance (Psalm 103:2), through your testimony and witnessing (Acts 1:8, Psalm 150:2), through serving others (Mark 10:44-45, 1 Peter 4:10, Galatians 5:13), through your words – Let your words bring glory to God (Colossians 3:17, Psalm 71:18), through marveling at God’s creation (Psalm 19:1), through body expressions such as lifting hands (Psalm 141:2), clapping hands (Psalm 47:1), bowing down (Psalm 95:6), dancing (Psalm 149:3).

The Bible says that our bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit and we should glorify God with our bodies (1 Corinthians 6:19-20 and Romans 12:1), through memorizing the Bible (Proverbs 3:1, Psalm 1:2), through confession of sins (1 John 1:9), through obedience (John 14-15), through giving (2 Corinthians 9:7), through fellowship and serving the church community (Colossians 3:16), through work (Colossians 3:23-24), through your life (1 Corinthians 10:31), by sharing your faith (1 Peter 2:9), by using your gifts and talents for Him (Exodus 35:35), with humility (James 4:10), with joy (Philippians 4:4), with reverence and awe – On this, Hebrews 12:28 says, “Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.”

Beloved, make the worship of God your priority and preoccupation this year.

PRAYER POINTS:
