Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional April 5th – Worship The Lord

(Love For The Lord Makes You Worship Him)

TO THE BIBLE: John 4:23-24
“…The hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

LET’S TALK
Joanna loved the Lord Jesus and enjoyed spending time in His presence. She would occasionally sneak away from everybody else just to pray and sing in other tongues, lifting her hands in holy, unbridled worship to Him. As a result, she exuded uncanny boldness and courage which others admired about her.

Something remarkable about Joanna’s love for the Lord was that it made her a worshipper, and not just a singer. God is not just looking for “singers”; He’s looking for true worshippers.

The Bible does tell us about the singers in Israel but also lets us know David was a worshipper (2 Samuel 6:13-22, 1 Chronicles 16). Some Christians believe God made them “prayer warriors,” but they’re wrong, because true worshippers are what He seeks, not “prayer warriors.”

When you know that satan, the world, and the flesh have all been defeated (John 16:33; Galatians 5:24; Hebrews 2:14), you’ll worship the Lord from your heart—in spirit and truth—for who He is and for all He’s done.

Worship creates the atmosphere for the divine touch of the Spirit in your life. The Lord wants us to worship Him because when we do, our spiritual eyes are opened to behold His glory.

At that point, you forget about yourself because He’s the only One who matters. His glory mantles your entire being, and you’re transformed in His presence and lifted to higher levels! The world just seems to melt away; all you see is the Lord as you’re enveloped in His love.

Pray:
Dear Father, you’ve made my life so beautiful; you’ve crowned me with your glory and filled me with your wisdom, righteousness, mercies and grace. For these, O Lord, I worship you; for you alone are God. All honour, majesty and power are yours now and forever, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
