1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.

3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
4 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.
5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
Key Verse: “Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright” (Psalm 33:1).
MESSAGE
Do you know that God, our heavenly Father loves to be praised? How did you feel the last time somebody praised you or commended you for good works? Happy of course. God has done and is still doing excellent things for us and around us. He therefore deserves all the praises we can give unto Him. A lot of God’s children ask for this and that from God. There is nothing bad in asking, because God wants us to ask. But many people forget to stop and just thank God foreverything He has done for them.

Do not be an ungrateful child of God. Every day, learn to say ‘thank you’ to God for anything and everything He has done. Did you say thank you to God this morning. When you count your blessings, do not forget to offer sacrifice of praise to the One who loves you most and has blessed you with all good things of life.
Prayer: Thank You for all You have done for me.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
