Faithfulness : The Secret To Keep Getting Abundant Blessing ( chapter.2 )

Faithfulness : The Secret To Keep Getting Abundant Blessing ( chapter.1 )

Many people who when in trouble , they come in droves to be at church , diligent worship , prayer and following every activity of any event held at the church . They assume that in that way they will get the answers to the problems they face .

God is never indebted to everyone who came to him . He will give an answer to every prayer and our struggle . But most people just forget to glorify God when they escape from the problems they face .

They reduce the activities that had been followed . They got busy with various things , and the reasons appear to avoid religious activities . Yet that's not what God wants . God wants us to remain loyal and close to Him when we have separated from all the problems .

God wants us to increasingly intimate with him , and God longs for us to keep the praise and glory of his name at the moment we 've received an answer to our prayers .

Faithfulness : The Secret To Keep Getting Abundant Blessing ( chapter.1 )

Faithfulness : The Secret To Keep Getting Abundant Blessing 

Let's look at this story in Luke 17:11-19 , about ten lepers who were healed by Jesus : " In his journey to Yelusalem Jesus passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee . Upon entering a village, ten lepers met him .

They stood at a distance and shouted : " Jesus , Master , have mercy on us ! " Then he looked at them and said : "Go , show yourselves to the priests . " And while they went , they were cleansed . One of them , when he saw he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice , and fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him . The man was a Samaritan .

What God wants in worship

What God wants in worship

Acts 16:4-12

As we have desires and expectations when we come to worship , so it is with the Lord , our God . He has hopes and desires for His people who come to worship Him . What are the expectations of God to His people who come to worship ?

God Wants You And The Whole of Your family worship Him ( Joshua 24:14-28 )

Joshua was a man who understands the content and the desire of God's heart . In the presence of Israel he said : " But if you do not think is good to serve the Lord , choose you this day whom ye will serve ; gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the Euphrates River , or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you live in is . But me and my house , we'll be serving God " ( verse 15 )

There is a very basic reason why God wants you and all your family members have to serve him , because " God does not want anyone from your family perish " ( Matthew 18:12-14 ) . For God " one " person just perish , it's too much ( 2 Peter 3:7-9 ) . He wants everyone to repent and be saved .

The Meaning of Worship

Meaning of Worship ( Worship )

The word " worship " comes from the Arabic language , which has the same root with the Hebrew " abodah " which means " serve " . So worship means to serve God . Sometimes we also adopted the word " worship " ( Sanskrit ), which means worship to God ( worship ) .

For the church , worship is meeting people with God to celebrate the act of remembering the savior of God in Christ's life and work . The word " commemorate " here in the sense of open or dig relive our memories of events that never happened in the past.

God's Promise For People Who Worshipping

God's Promise For People Who Worshipping

1 Timothy 4:7-10

" Training corporal limited use, but worship is useful in all cases , because it contains a promise , both for this life or for the life to come . " ( Verse 8 )

The Bible says that we will receive the promises of God when we worship Him diligently . And we need to realize and believe that what God promised in His word will be fulfilled.

Matters what God promised to us when we are diligent and earnest worship ?

First , God will make a difference for us ! Malachi 3:18 "Then you will go back saw one difference between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not worship Him . "

So you will see a different blessing , joy, hope and the future are really different between solemn worship of God with no -nonsense
