Open Heaven For Teens 14th August 2024 Daily Devotional Message By Pastor E.A Adeboye And Pastor (Mrs) Folu Adeboye
TOPIC: How To Pray (2)
MEMORISER
Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; he is holy.
Psalm 99:5
READ: Revelation 4:8-11
Today, in continuation of the series I started yesterday on how to pray, I will explain what you need to do after praising God.
After praising God, you should go on to worship Him. You worship God by telling Him who He is, and to do this, you need to know the Scriptures. If you read through the Old Testament, you will discover many of God’s names. For instance, Jehovah means God, and there are different words that are added to Jehovah to mean different things.
It is interesting to know that God revealed most of His names to His people personally. For example, when God appeared to Moses on Mount Horeb (Exodus 3), He revealed Himself as I AM THAT I AM. When He provided a ram for Abraham as a sacrifice in place of his son, Isaac, He revealed Himself as Jehovah Jireh, which means our Provider.
God has revealed Himself to me in many ways, so I have my own way of worshipping Him. However, these expressions do not have interpretations in the English Language. This is why I sometimes switch to my indigenous language when I pray.
KEY POINT
If you do not have an understanding of who God is, either by revelation or by studying His word, you cannot know how to worship Him.
