There are two gods in life and it is up to you to chose which one you will serve. One is self. Everything you do has a selfish motive to serve yourself. Even when it seems to others that you are serving others, in reality you are serving yourself. So for example we will say you are participating in a run for a cure for some disease. Are you running because you truly desire that cure or are you running while taking selfies to pump up your ego.
The end result of this disastrousworship is a meaningless life where the end result when you are on this planet is that you are so lonely that life is a daily torturous futile exercise.The final stage of life is an eternity in Hell, separatedfrom a loving God.
The other is Jehovah. Serving Him means you put His desires above all others. The end result of this is a loving obedient relationship with a fantastic God who loves us more than we could ever imagine. As, well, we will have a meaningful successful life that has eternal rewards.
Choose the right God to worship, your eternity depends upon it. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Elyon (Lord Most High) for the honour of worshiping the ultimate God of which there is none to compare with. It is the sweetest of delights to spend time worshiping You in my thoughts, words and deeds. I exalt You for this supreme endowment in the name of the Supreme King of kings Jesus Christ. AmenMay the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love fill your heart today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross[expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me]. Matthew 16:24 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
What is pride—but the worship of self?
Why do you think folks have themselves covered with tattoos but as an act of self worship?
Why do you think social media is so reverent in society today except as a means to puff up ones own importance? The list goes on and on.
Compare yourself to Christ and then see how good you are. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Why are folks so reluctant to give their time and labour for the good of others, and the glory of God? Because they want it for ease, and the enjoyment of self! As well, they want it for bragging rights of look at all the toys I have.
Imagine all the good we could accomplish if everyone gave one tenth of their earnings to a worthy cause. What good are your toys compared to the riches of Heaven stored up for the dutiful good stewards?
When we are Christians we put Christ first, others second and self last. It is hard and most times we receive little recognition from others for our efforts, even those we help.
A warning for those considering becoming the Heavenly Kings servants, when you become a servant unto Christ expect a lot of suffering. Indeed, Christ spoke more of suffering than He did pleasures of being His servants.
Being a servant unto Christ is the hardest endeavor you shall ever participate in but it has eternal Heavenly rewards. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jesus Helech ‘Olam (The Lord our King Forever)for the wonderful privilege of being a humble servant to such a magnificent Heavenly King. I give all praise in Your awesome name. Amen
May your house be filled with joy in the morning and sweet dreams at night. May it be a home where love has come to live. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Now no one can look at the sun, bright as it is in the skies after the wind has swept them clean.Out of the north he comes in golden splendor; God comes in awesome majesty. Job 37:21-22 Holy Bible
I recently read an article where the author equated sunrise worship in nature with worshiping Baal or some other ancient deity.
I have to question whether the author is a city slicker.
It is with immense joy that I sit by the side of a stream in the early morning before sunrise. Just as the sun begins to rise a single bird with begin a beautiful song. So it is joined in by a chorus of other birds, frogs and crickets. I of course close my eyes and play what is in my heart as a morning love song to Jehovah. Oh what a wonderful sensation.
Afterwards He and I talk. It is a beautiful relationship.
Try sitting by the ocean or a lake and watch a sunrise or sunset and see if you do not feel an urge to have a heart to heart discussion with Jehovah.
Walk through a forest after a ice storm and see the icy crystals glistening and see if you do not marvel at Jehovah’s beauty.
Go for a walk through the forest during a light snowfall or walk through a meadow in the early morning drinking in the intoxicating fragrance of wildflowers and see if you do not feel close to Him and want to worship Him.
Indeed, didn’t David write His most beautiful Psalms while in the wilderness?
I say that: “The closer you are to nature the closer you are to God.” Joseph- Anthony: Green
Prayer:Thank you Jesus Pryyand (Jesus my friend) for the wonderful blessing of sharing such a special time with You in You majestic beautiful creation. May others be moved to worship You in this simple yet beautiful place of worship as well. I joyfully give thanks for this blessing and request this blessing in Your awesome name. Amen.
May the sweet sunshine of Jesus’ precious love bless you today and every day
How long are you going to waver between two opinions? If Jehovah is God, follow Him! But if Baal is God, then follow him!” 1 Kings 18:21 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
Christ will not accept anything but total worship, there is no half way with Him. Either dedicate your life totally to Him or do not waste your time because He only accepts all of your devotion.
There are many Baals in life that are thieves and steal worship that only belongs to Jesus in many Christians lives.
Many worship sensuality,it pollutes in movies, music and on TV. They change bed partners more than they change their underwear. What is the end of this destructive god you worship? You will not get to pick your poison, syphilis, gonorrhea or aids but you do get to accept in full the reward of following this harlot all the way to Hell.
Many worship worldly pleasures like mobile phones, fancy clothes, expensive cars, and houses they cannot afford, which means they become slaves to the bank to attain these dead gods. Go ahead fool, look at these gods and say: “I love you.” and see what their reply is.
Many sacrifice their souls on the alter of material wealth. They slave away for that extra dollar because they want to depend upon this useless god to take care of them in luxury. Where are they when you have sacrificed your mind, body and spirit to them and they are taken from you like dainty snow under the blistering heat of the noon day sun.
Many treat the scriptures like dung and worship faulty worldly knowledge over Jehovahs supreme pure Divine wisdom. They mock it, call it absurd and foolishly laugh at it. Jehovah has the last laugh as His word confuses you and you realize that those who profess to be so wise are actually nit wits.
Many worship creation (putting animals on equal ground as humans. How many foolishly call infant animals babies and treat them as a child and have more devotion towards them than they do their fellow man or woman?). Oh how they wail when they have to put their gods down because of old age or disease. When you become sick or in need of help to pay your bills where are they to help you?
How many absurdly call it mother nature instead of Jehovahs creation? Can mother nature bring you rain in season, sun in season or snow in season? Yes, I have prayed for rain and the prayer was answered in the affirmative. The weather forecast indicated that mother nature was going to bring us a hot sunny day. Whose god was more reliable?
These are all idols
Jehovah refuses to play second fiddle to any of them.
“Their hearts were devoted to their idols!” Ezekiel 20:16 Holy Bible, Amplified Version
There is only one idol in my life and to which I dedicate my life to. His name is Jesus. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Unto You and You alone do I swear my utmost alligence to Jehovah Eli (Lord my God). There is none equal to You much less supreme to You in my life. You are indeed the most cherished of all the treasures in my life. Thank you for this esteemed privilege in the name of He with whom I adore as much as I do You, Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love fill your heart today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Pure and unblemished religion [as it is expressed in outward acts] in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit andlook after the fatherless and the widows in their distress, and to keep oneself uncontaminated by the [secular] world. James 1:27The Holy Bible, Amplified Version
Religion is described as a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.
A principle of the heart; in my love for Jehovah and my fellow man
An element of the character of Christ residing with in me;
The habit of thinking, feeling, and acting according to the statutes of Jehovah in all my social relations;
The basis of every virtue which emulates the righteousness of Christs character ;
The main prop of every preforming with all of my mind, body and spirit to excel in service unto our Heavenly King ;
The fear – not just the punishment for the wicked in His terrible justice but to have constant respect and awe of Him but of the Lord, by which men depart from evil;
Faith which means trust working by love to accomplish with total zest all the tasks my Beloved Heavenly Father assigns for me to do;
Such a belief in the gospel of Christ, as leads to a conformity to His example in every aspect of my daily life.
True religion, though founded on a belief of doctrines, and nourished by the exercises of devotion—diffuses its influence over the entire character of man to make him Holy as Christ is holy.
True religion is the belief in Jesus Christ, the love of Jesus Christ, the worship of Jesus Christ, and the imitation of Jesus Christ.
True religion is sound morality, animated and sanctified by the Holy Spirit of true devotion to Christ in all of my deeds and words.
True religion prescribes, not only homage to God, but allows Him dominion into every part of my daily life..
It is all or nothing with Jesus. Either you belong totally to Him or you belong to satan. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Please Jehovah Emet (God of truth) continuously expand Thy Divine truth in my spirit and mind of the proper manner in which to daily, moment by moment focus on devoting myself to Your Supreme religion. I meekly request this in the name of He whose every aspect of His earthly journey focused on showing us the proper manner in which to have Your religion supreme in our lives Jesus Christ. Amen
May Gods sunshine always bless you with brightening your day with His love, joy and peace. Joseph a son of Jehovah
The hearing ear and the seeing eye, The [omnipotent] Lord has made both of them. Proverbs 20:12 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
The difference between the world and us Christians is that when the hard times come those in the world cry out unto their gods and it is impossible for them to help them.
If you worship money how much good will it do you when your health is plagued by and incurable disease?
If you worship your car how much good will that do you when you encounter personal problems?
If you worship your body how much good will that do you when you are unemployed with no money?
The list goes on.
On the other hand, we who belong unto Christ have the assurance that He always see’s us when we are enduring a crisis and He always hears us when we call out unto Him. He has unlimited resources to help us where no one or nothing else can.
“It is impossible for that man to despair who remembers that his Helper is omnipotent.” — Jeremy Taylor
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah ‘Uzam (The Lord is our Strength in Trouble) for blessing me with Your Divine strength, help, comfort and assurance during the hard times that come my way. It is the only thing that gets me through them but it is also the only blessing required at those times.
I exalt Thee in the name of He who was there to strengthen His disciples Jesus Christ. Amen
Wishing you a house full of sunshine, hearts full of cheer and love that grows deeper each day of the year. Welsh blessing
Until Our Hearts Are. When You said, “Seek My face [in prayer, require My presence as your greatest need],” my heart said to You, “Your face, O Lord, I will seek [on the authority of Your word].” Psalm 27:8 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
Can you walk up to a stranger you no nothing about and start lavishing praise upon them?
Of course not.
So how can you sing praises to an unknown God?
That is why I believe all these concerts with folks waving their hands in the air and singing praise to Jesus in Contemporary Christian Music concerts is a shame. Ask those on stage on in the audience how much of a relationship they have with Christ and most will give you a blank look.
The longer I have been in a loving relationship with Jehovah and the more I get to know Him the deeper the love, admiration and respect for Him. It is with great sincerity and admiration that I worship Him in my daily life, in my daily prayers and in my daily songs unto Him. This causes great songs of love , praise and worship to be sung unto my Heavenly Beloved.
“God is not moved or impressed with our worship until our hearts are moved and impressed by Him.” Kelly Sparks
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Heseh (God is love) for generously sharing Your love with me. In return with a heart full of gratitude, wonder, awe and respect my love for You rules supreme in my heart.
I extol Thee in the name of He whose love for me led Him all the way to the cross Jesus Christ. Amen
Wishing you a house full of sunshine, hearts full of cheer and love that grows deeper each day of the year. Welsh blessing
My grace is sufficient for you. My power is made perfect in your weakness. We cannot boast about it. We cannot earn it. He gave it to us through the cross.
