Power in the Name

“I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.”  Psalm 138:2(KJV) I remember a story by Smith Wigglesworth of a man that was paralyzed for a long time. Then the Lord spoke to him one day to go and raise Lazarus from the dead, and he immediately understood what the Lord meant. So he went to the house of this paralyzed man with a couple of brothers with him. As they stood around his bed, they began to whisper the Name 'Jesus'. As they...

Worship the Name

“All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.”  Psalm 86:9(KJV) Whenever we sing about the Name, we release the anointing. In Songs of Solomon 1:3, the Bible says, “… thy name is as ointment poured forth,…” so every time we sing about the Name of Jesus we release the anointing. And I have observed that healing ministers always sing songs about Jesus in their healing meetings and crusades. I remember when the Lord was teaching me about healing in 2002, He said, “when you organise...

Worship with reverence

“So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.”         Psalm 45:11(KJV) Worship makes you attractive to God. The place of worship is a place of consecration and submission to the Lordship of Jesus. So those who have not truly experienced God, do not truly worship. They may sing with their lips but they don't know what true worship is. In Psalm 95:7 the Bible says, “But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy...

Positioned for Worship

“As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said …”  Acts 13:2(KJV)     Worship is the recognition of the Lordship of Jesus. The Bible shows us in our opening scripture, that as “… they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said…” This means that worship enhances your ability to hear God. Worship positions you to hear God. So, if you want to hear God, it is important that when you worship, let your heart be in it and God will speak to you. The Bible says in Psalm 95:6-7, “O come, let us worship...

Keep the Word in your mouth

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”  Joshua 1:8(KJV) In our opening scripture today, God told Joshua “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth…” in other words, God was telling him to read the Word to himself. God wanted Joshua to keep the Word of God in His mouth. Why is this important? The Bible says...

The real Jew

“After all, who is a real Jew, truly circumcised? It is not the man who is a Jew on the outside, whose circumcision is a physical thing.”  Romans 2:28(GNB) Our opening scripture is letting us know who the real Jew is in the New Testament. A Jew in this case refers to the chosen people of God. The real Jew in the New Testament is no longer the man who has merely been circumcised in the flesh, his circumcision is only a physical thing. True circumcision is in the spirit. So who is the real Jew? Romans 2:29(GNB) lets us know who the real Jew...

A God-carrier

“But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.”  1 Corinthians 1:17(KJV) Do you know that now as a born again child of God, you are the carrier of God's divine presence. We no longer need to carry around with us the physical representation of the ark in the Old Testament as they did everywhere with us today. In the Old Testament the ten commandments which was the law of God was kept in the ark. Today in the New Testament, the law of God which is the Word of God is kept in our hearts. The Bible says in Hebrews 8:10, “For this is the...

Do the word

“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.”            John 14:21(KJV)       Every instruction in the Word of God is a command. A command is a non negotiable obligation. Therefore, when ever you are studying the Word of God and you come across  any instruction from God, know that you are under obligation to do it. Why is this important? Jesus said in our opening...

MORE THAN RELIGION

“I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.”  1 Timothy 2:8(KJV) Religion is the worship of God based on human assumptions. Religion is also the worship of God based on human tradition. For instance, there many things Christians practice without knowing why they should do it. Lets take the lifting up of our hands in worship before God as an example. Do you know that it is scriptural practice for you to lift up your hands when you worship or pray to God? The Bible shows this to us in Psalm...

Don't Worship based on man's tradition

“…Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?”  Matthew 15:3(KJV) In my study of worship, I discovered that you do not come to a king on your own terms, you come to a king on his own terms. Jesus asked the Jews in our opening scripture, “…Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?” What is a commandment? A commandment is a non negotiable obligation. So we can deduce from the question that Jesus asked the Jews that they trivialized the Word of God to obey their tradition. For instance, when...

Don't go your own way

“For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry...”              1 Samuel 15:23(KJV) I will like you to notice in our opening scripture today that stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. This means that the Bible sees stubbornness like serving idols, because stubbornness is self worship because you are choosing to do your own thing above all else. When you choose to do your own thing above what God has said, and above divine instruction, or constituted authority it...

“Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.”  1 Peter 3:7(KJV) According to our opening scripture, if you investigate, you will notice that the Pastor of every church that is growing well in this world has a healthy relationship with his wife. This is because if you don't give honour to your wife, the Bible says your prayers will be hindered, and if your prayers are hindered, your...

“Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.”  Matthew 5:23-24(KJV)     In our opening scripture, Jesus shows us a very simple principle that will help us receive a harvest to our seed every time we sow. Jesus said that if you are going to sow a seed, and you remember that you are holding an offence against your brother, leave your seed there...

Your revelation determines your limits.

“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”  Luke 19:10(KJV) When you know what Jesus has done for you, and when you understand the cross, serving Christ becomes easy. I heard about the Moravians who were praying passionately for the world to be saved. Then they began going for evangelism. They went out to reach out to others based on the revelation that Jesus died for all men, and to win souls was to bring to Jesus the rewards of His sufferings. Their revelation was what motivated them to reach out to the unsaved...

You don't own yourself.

“You know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God, don't you? You do not belong to yourselves,”  1 Corinthians 6:19(ISV) Do you know that from the day you got born again, you cease being yours? Since you do not own yourself anymore, you've lost the right to live the way you want to live. You can no longer live carelessly as a child of God anymore because you are not your own. I Corinthians 6:20 says, “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit,...

You are a living temple 2.

“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?”  1 Corinthians 6:19(KJV) Today I will like you to make this declaration, say; “My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.” If your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit it means that everywhere you go, the Holy Spirit is there. Make no mistakes about this truth; there is only one Holy Spirit. There are some Christians who think that they have the little Holy Spirit in them and maybe their Pastor have more Holy...

You are a living temple 1.

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”  Romans 12:1(KJV) The Bible tells us in our opening scripture to present our bodies as a living sacrifice. Why is it important for you to present your body as a living sacrifice? It is because your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit according to 1 Corinthians 3:16 which says, “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” This shows...

Worship with understanding.

“For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.”               Acts 17:23(KJV) In our opening scripture today, Paul was speaking to the men of Athens who were a very religious people. He made them know that even though they were religious, they worshipped ignorantly because they didn't know who they were worshipping. This means that worship begins with a revelation. For some people, worship...

“And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.” Matthew 2:11(KJV)   From our opening scripture today, we see that when the wise men came to worship Jesus, after they fell down and worshipped, the Bible says that they also opened their treasures and presented gifts to Jesus;  gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. This shows us that your worship is not complete...

Our opening scripture shows us how saying, “O come, let us worship and bow down…” This means that when you worship the Father, do not only bow down physically, it is also important you bow down in your heart, in other words, give the Lord your whole focus. Why should we give...

And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name? Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible. And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased...

Worship releases honour.

“… but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.”  1 Samuel 2:30(KJV) Worship means to highly regard a person, a place or a thing. Worship gives honour to the object of worship. The Lord said plainly to His people, “… for them that honour me I will honour, …” this reveals to us that every worshipper will surely receive honour from the Father. When Abraham worshipped God in offering to God his one and only son, the Lord said to Him in Genesis 22:12, “…for...

Seek Him early.

“A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour?...”  Malachi 1:6(KJV) Our opening scripture shows that worship deals primarily with honour. Do you honour the time you set to meet with God. Do you take the time for service in chruch seriously knowing that it is an appointment with your Heavenly Father who you honour? Do you plan to go early for meetings with your Father? Or you do not see it that way, so you go late for services and meetings with God always. If you had a meeting with the...

Worship with your giving.

“And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.”  Genesis 22:5(KJV) Do you know that your giving is an act of worship to God? This is why I ask people this question sometimes: “The way you give to God, is that the way you will give to a Governor?” The Bible says in Malachi 1:8(GNB), “When you bring a blind or sick or lame animal to sacrifice to me, do you think there's nothing wrong with that? Try giving an animal like that to the governor! Would he be...

God wants worship for us as His children to be a lifestyle. This is because...

“This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me,…”  Matthew 15:8-9(KJV) o worship means to highly regard a person a place or thing. Therefore if you willfully make  decisions that go contrary to the Word of God, you are missing an opportunity to be a true worshipper. This reveals to you that worship is a lifestyle. So, every time you do things in conformity to the Word of God, you are worshipping. This is because God and His Word are...

What is worship?

“O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.” Psalm 95:6(KJV) Worship can be defined as the heartfelt expression of honour, value or respect to God in word, song or deed. Worship is also the outward expression of heartfelt honour towards God in a way and manner that is consistent with the Word of God. Many years ago, John Calvin said that God disapproves of all modes of worship not expressly sanctioned by His Word. John Stott said that all worship is an intelligent and living response to the revelation of God....

There are many things we do in our worship to God because our fathers told...

This is why Jesus said in our opening scripture, whatsoever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, in other words, Jesus was saying that whatsoever you ask in my name I will make it happen. Why? “… that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” Therefore if Jesus said what He meant, and meant what He...

To understand what Peter had, I will like to share with you from Matthew 9 where Jesus had just healed a lame man, in Matthew 9:8, the Bible says, “But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.” The word power in the verse you just read...

Faith in the Name.

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils;”        Mark 16:17(KJV)       Every Christian has the same authority in the Name of Jesus. So the Name of Jesus doesn't work because one person is more anointed than the other, no. Anointing and authority are two different things. The Name of Jesus works not because of the anointing you carry, but because of your faith in the power in the Name. Matthew 7:21-22 says, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter...

“We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;”  2 Corinthians 4:13(KJV) Our opening scripture is teaching us a principle of scripture which states thus: “I believed, and therefore have I spoken;” This reveals to you that what you are saying about your health, your finances, your marriage, your spouse, your children, your job, etc. is what you truly believe with your heart. This is because the Bible says in Matthew 12:34, “… for out of the abundance...

Your mouth can hinder what God seeks to do in your life and your mouth could also release you into what God has ordained to happen in your life.

It is letting us know that what you allow in your life is what God will allow in your life, and what you disallow in your life is what God will disallow in your life. So you are responsible for where you are today. If you do not like where you are today, you are to blame because you allowed it. God has given...

“And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”   Revelations 5:10(KJV)   Our opening scripture reveals to us that we have been made kings and priests unto God. This means that you are a priest, but you are also a king unto God. We are priest because we have been called of God to offer up spiritual sacrifices to the Father. As kings we reign over territories by exerting our authority, sovereignty and dominion given to us in Christ for the furtherance of the kingdom of God on the earth. Jesus said in...

If He is the Prince of the kings of the earth, then who are those known as the kings of the earth?

But it is important you know that understanding Christ position will help you know where you are now positioned as a child of God.
