Serve And Worship

Beloved in the Lord Jesus, exalt Almighty God in your heart as you Serve And Worship God In Your Generation.

 

SCRIPTURE READINGS: Acts 13:36, Ecclesiastes 12:13

Brethren in the Lord Jesus, God is saying that He formed you in your Mother’s womb, sanctified you, and caused your mother to give birth to you in nine months as noted in Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed you in the belly I knew you, and before thou come forth out of the womb I sanctified you, and I ordained you a prophet unto the nations.

Interestingly, God formed all parts of your body and covered them while you were in your Mother’s womb and wrote the functions of the parts of your body into His book, that is eyes for seeing, nose for smelling, etc as located in Psalms 139:13,15 -16

Verse 13 For thou (God) has possessed my reins: thou (God) has COVERED ME in my mother’s womb.

Verse 15 My substance was not hidden from you, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Verse 16 Thine (God) eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect, and in thy BOOK all my MEMBERS were WRITTEN, which in continuance were fashioned when as yet there was none of them.

So give glory to God by saying, Psalms 139:14 I will praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made, marvelous are thy works, and that my soul knows right well.

 

READ: You Must Be Willing To Hear The Voice Of God

Brethren, according to Acts 13:36 says, ” For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption :
Biblically, It was the grace of God that enabled your mother gave birth to you, being nurtured, fed, and trained by your parents till you grew up, for which you must acknowledge God in your life and must serve and worship God wholeheartedly based on the will of God in your own generation before you die before grace period will be over before rapture occurs following spending your eternity either in heaven or in hellfire.

Beloved, presently you are at your own stage of generation to worship God wholeheartedly before you die. Generation means the average period of time between your birth and the birth of your children. Generation is characterized as twenty-five years, mathematically,
1st generation =25 years
2nd generation =50 years
3rd generation =75 years
4th generation =100 years

To worship God means you pour your heart by showing respect and love for God by singing, praying, praising, adoration, Thanksgiving, etc
To serve God means you spend your time doing useful works of God.
So if you don’t serve God, or you serve God partially, without training your children to worship God wholeheartedly, the results of your iniquity ( curses, hardships, etc) will come upon your children for third-generation (75 yeas) and fourth-generation(100 years) before o after you die as noted in Exodus 20:5 Thou shall not bow down thyself to them(images, idols, gods ), nor serve them (idols, images, god’s) : for I the LORD thy God am jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third generation (75 years) and fourth-generation (100 years) of them that hate me. Amen

Interestingly, God is saying to you that you should serve Him wholeheartedly and teach your children to worship God wholeheartedly before you die as located in Deuteronomy 6:2
That thou (you) mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments, which I command you, thou, and your son, and your son’s son, all the days of your life, and that your days may be prolonged. So once you create the foundation of God in the lives of your children and your children’s children will receive the mercy, blessings, divine favor, breakthrough, etc from God as found in Exodus 20:6 And (God) showing mercy unto thousands of them ( your children, children’s children) that love me, and keep my commandments.

The following Bible verses show the main reasons why you must serve God in your own generation :

1Give your own whole times – days, weeks months, years in serving God only irrespective of the tribulations you pass through as God’s servant, David said in Psalms 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

2. Make effective use of your own time in line with God’s word to strengthen you and to overcome the world -lusts, sins, Satan and his agents, etc as Apostle Paul said through the Spirit of God according to Ephesians 5:16 -17
Verse 16 Redeeming the time because the days are evil.
Verse 17 Therefore do not be unwise but understand what the will of the Lord is.

3. In your own time Worship God wholeheartedly to attain Salvation in Christ Jesus first before the second coming of Jesus Christ as in Romans 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now, our salvation is nearer than when we believed.

4. In your own time you must willingly reject the works of the darkness and put on the armour of light as seen in Romans 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us, therefore, cast off the works of the darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

5 In your own time worship God wholeheartedly before you grow old, at your old age you still worship God through parts of your body will not function: however, if you don’t serve God wholeheartedly at your youthful stage and you grow old, you may wish to serve God at your old age but you can’t because parts of your body will not function well, hence you will regret, weep, worry, etc for not worshipping God wholeheartedly as noted in Amos 8:11-12
Verse 11 Behold, the days come, said the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
Verse 12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.

6. In your own youthful stage serve God wholeheartedly before you grow old, because at your old age you can’t go to church, can’t read Bible, can’t do evangelism, etc as found in Ecclesiastes 12:1
Remember now thy Creator in the days of your youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.

That is why the Bible says as young as we are, we must study the word of God richly, put in into practice, worship God wholeheartedly before you grow old, at your old age the Spirit of God will strengthen you to meditate on the word of God you study and heard from your youthful age for which you can sing hymns, psalms, spiritual songs in your to God as noted in Colossians 3:16

7 Jesus Christ said in your own time, serve God wholeheartedly before you grow old before you die before grace period will be over before rapture occurs as located in John 9:4 I (Jesus, refer to you) must work the works of Him(God) who sent Me, while it is day: the night comes when no one can work.
8 .Jesus Christ said that in your own time serve only the Lord thy God (don’t worship creatures )as found in  A. Matthew 4:10: Then said Jesus unto him(Satan), Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shall thou serve.
B. Matthew 6:24c You cannot serve God and mammon.
C. John 4:23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and: for the Father seeks such to worship Him.
To worship God in spirit and truth means you must worship God in holiness based on God’s word as noted in John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

 

9. In your own time it is your whole duty to serve God as noted in Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

10 If you die in your own generation, bury in the ground, your body rots in the ground because it was made from the dust, bones don’t rot signifying destiny but your soul (spirit) goes to God for Judgement as noted in Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit (soul) shall return unto God who gave it. (For judgment)

A. The good news is that if you serve only God wholeheartedly based on the word of God out of holiness (John 17:17 ), repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10), faith (Ephesians 2:8), etc your soul rest at the Paradise of God awaiting for the second coming of Jesus Christ to reign with Jesus Christ in heaven as found in Luke 23:43, Revelation 2:7, Revelation 6:10-11, Revelation 20:5-7, Revelation 21, 22

B. Sadly, if you don’t serve God or worship God partially, living in sins, –Galatians 5:19-21, bearing bad fruit –Matthew 7:19, not abiding in Jesus Christ –John 15:6, worshipping idols, images, gods –1 Corinthians 6:9-10, etc, your soul rest at the Hades awaiting for the second coming of Jesus Christ to be tormented with Satan in hellfire as noted in Revelation 6:8, Revelation 20:7-10,14-15

PRAYER
I thank you Heavenly Father for revealing your word of serving or worshipping You to me as to be done according to your word.

Forgive me of my sin, the way I do not serve or worship you wholeheartedly.
God of mercy
, have mercy upon, and wash me thoroughly as white as snow through the precious blood of Jesus Christ.
Let the Holy Spirit lead me to serve or worship you in spirit and in truth.
Heavenly Father, Glory, honour, power, be unto your name forever, and ever, in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Brethren, remember your Creator,  the Lord thy God as He loves you so much and needs you in heaven. Worship God wholeheartedly as you enjoy God’s mercy as new every morning in every area of your life in Jesus’ name. (Lamentations 3:23)
