YOU_ARE_THE_PLACE_TO_WORSHIP_GOD

-

Our worship to God is not time, day or place restricted. In other words, you don't need a time, day or place to worship the Father (God). You don't need a well decorated building neither do you need any mountain before you can worship God. It is a big lie to think or believe that God responds quickly to worship at a particular time, day or place. Religion has corrupted many minds and destroyed many souls. Please if you are a victim, then the time is now to unlearn and relearn.

Many people lack the knowledge behind the death of Jesus. Or you think what happened on the cross was just for forgiveness of sin? The purpose of Jesus' death on the cross goes beyond forgiveness. Jesus fixed our broken relationship with God on the cross. He made our encounter with the Father so simple. He broke every barrier between God and us by His blood. So nothing can hinder us from seeing God apart from UNBELIEF. No more do we need even priests and not to talk of a particular building or place before we can worship God.

Before Christ, God's Spirit dwelt in the Ark in the tabernacle made by man. And only priests were allowed in there even on conditions (Hebrews 9). Obviously, worship of God was restricted. However, from the time Jesus gave up His spirit on the cross until now God's Spirit dwells not in the Ark anymore but in anyone who believes in the Gospel. God's Spirit has left the Ark two thousand years ago and now dwells in believers in Christ Jesus. Let's read:

Matthew 27:50-51 (NKJV)
50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.
51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,

Acts 2:2-4 (NKJV)
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

You see that? Now our worship is not restricted to Jerusalem where the Ark of God was. We are now the chosen Ark of God. If you believe in Christ, you're God's sanctuary. You're His temple. Switch from the Old testament worship to the New testament worship. Christ Jesus is the new testament.

Don't waste your precious time and energy searching for place to worship God. Your are the place. I said, you are the place to worship God. You can meet (fellowship) with other believers at any day or place that suits you to study God's Word and encourage each other. Religious people are those debating on the motion, "Which day is a right day to worship, Saturday or Sunday?"

Don't be restricted by what religion has taught. Nothing restricts anyone from worshiping God apart from unbelief in Christ. Going to your denomination at specific times and days is not the definition of worship. Worship is appreciating the presence (Spirit) of God in you. You're a walking temple full of set of instruments for worship. Worship because you carry God's Spirit. Worship for you're His presence. Worship the Father anytime, any day, and anyplace in spirit and in truth.

Let's conclude by reading what transpired between a religious woman and Jesus,

John 4:19-24 (NKJV)
19 The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshiped on this MOUNTAIN, and you Jews say that in JERUSALEM is the place where one ought to worship.”
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will NEITHER ON THIS MOUNTAIN, NOR IN JERUSALEM, WORSHIP THE FATHER.
22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But 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.
24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Stay inspired and blessed!

PRACTICALIZE YOUR CHRISTIAN FAITH

📓1 Peter 2:21 _For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: (KJV)_ Christianity is more practical than theological. Knowing about God; studying everything in the Bible doesn't make a Christian. Instead, what makes a Christian is living (practicing) what is studied and known about God through Christ Jesus. Although it is important to study or listen to God's Word, it is more important than one can take a stick at to obey and practice what it says. Therefore, professing to be Christians without godly effect on our behavior and attitude is futile. From our open verse, it obvious that we are called to live as Christ lived. Christ is our ultimate example. We are to walk in His footprints. So, not only by our mouth confessions, we are to practicalize our faith in Christ by giving ourselves to Him as living sacrifices which is holy and acceptable; allowing Him to transform our minds (Romans 12:1-

THE UNCHANGEABLE DEPENDABLE GOD

📓Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. (KJV)_ David said, "the heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork" - Psalm 19:1. Despite all the evidences the nature (creation) reveal about God and His supremacy, many people still have shallow knowledge about God and even some don't believe in Him at all. They therefore limit the power of the Lord in situations. They face difficulties and think they are too big for the Lord to handle. However, our thoughts are not the thoughts of the Lord, neither are our ways His ways (Isaiah 55:8). The Lord is greater and bigger than everything and we are to know that. "Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and  we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture" - Psalm 100:3. Beloved, the Lord Jesus never changes. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Though we live in a changing world, you can hope and trust the Lor

WHAT COMES TO THE MIND

📓Romans 12:2 _And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (KJV)_ Always, there are many thoughts that come to our mind that we don't expect. These thoughts come due to mainly what we see and hear. Sometimes, the devil also brings some thoughts to our mind just to tempt us. The mind always receives and works on our senses; what we see, hear, feel, smell and taste. It therefore, begins to work on what is received from any of the senses whether good or evil, but we can set guard over its works. It is said, "you can't prevent the birds from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from constructing a nest on your head". Likewise, we can't keep or prevent thoughts from coming to our mind but we can decide not to ponder (meditate) on them. Anytime we dwell on evil thoughts, our actions also become evil. Therefore, we need to delete s
