Praise: It’s Our Primary Calling – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional October 9th

(The Importance Of Praise In Our Day)

TO THE BIBLE: Psalm 47:6-7 AMPC
“Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises! For God is the King of all the earth; sing praises in a skillful psalm and with understanding.”

LET’S TALK
Amelia was always ready to praise the Lord, regardless of the time or place. Guided by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, she would raise her hands and sing songs of worship and adoration.

She understood that praising God was a calling and offered true worship to Him every time.

The scriptures give us more than enough information on God’s relationship with us and how He defines His role as God, as Lord, and as our Father.

In each of these roles, He expresses Himself differently. He also wants us to know our role: the various roles we play with respect to Him, His Kingdom, one another, and the world.

However, in every single role that we play, He expects us to praise Him. Thus, the primary reason we come together as God’s people is to offer praises to God.

For a long time, this seemed to have taken a back seat in the Church, but thank God there’s been a change! Christians all over the world are realising that as priests, our main job is to offer praises to God. That’s what we’re chosen to do.

1 Peter 2:9 says, “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”

When we live to praise the Lord, lifting up His greatness and worshiping His holy Name, we will enjoy all the blessings of the Gospel of Christ, just like Paul said in Romans 15:29. This is what God wants for us.

So, start praising the Lord now! Remember, praise should be meaningful; so, give God words of praise and thanks. Talk about His greatness, grace, and glory.

Declare that there’s no one like Him, for His Kingdom lasts forever, and His rule is from generation to generation. Hallelujah!

Pray:
Dear heavenly Father, you’re great and greatly to be praised, for there’s none like you; your Kingdom is forever, and your reign is eternal! You’re the only true and wise God. To you be all glory, honour, majesty, dominion and praise, forever and ever. Amen.
