Message
Singing, dancing and praising God are often regarded as the chief means of worship. The post apostolic age has ushered in different modes of worship and variation in doctrines in many churches that are contrary to the word of God. Most of these churches place emphasis on only some teachings of the Bible instead of the whole. For others, human traditions, and erroneous doctrines have become part of their worship or even more emphasized.

Jesus identified the true worshippers of God. These are the people that are convicted and saved by the Spirit and walking and living according to the Truth by the Spirit. Yes, they obey the Truth which is Christ, the totality of the Scriptures. “Worship then, is not part of the Christian life; it is the Christian life,” said Gerald Vann. Indeed, it is a life totally devoted to God in the Church, home, school, and at work. The true worshippers seek for daily grace to obey every command of God, whether sweet or sour. It’s they that Christ is coming to take home. Are you one of them?
Quote: They obey the Truth.
Challenge: Jesus is coming for the true worshippers.
Prayer for today: Lord, empower me to daily worship You in truth and spirit
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)
