Date: Sunday 8th December, 2019 Speaker: Rev. Babatunde Idowu Topic: Acceptable Praises and Worship Text: 1 Thessalonians 5:15-23 Message It is an accepted fact that we should praise God but the issue is how to praise God to be acceptable by Him. How can we praise and worship God acceptably? We must do it joyfully: acceptable praise and worship must be with a deep seethed joy in our heart (Neh 8:1-10). As a child of God let nothing take away your joy. We must be prayerful: we must pray without ceasing by reporting everything to God. Don't think anything is too small or big to report to God, be prayerful. We must be thankful: when you look at your situation no matter what, you are still doing better than some people so we must be thankful. Always see a reason to thank God because God is good. We must be Spirit-ful: make sure in all you do you are being led by the spirit. Make sure to feed your spirit man with the word of God. Anything that will make the spirit in you not active, run away from it. We need to make up our minds to submit to the spirit if God in order to praise and worship Him in an acceptable manner. When the spirit of God places something in your heart always yield to Him. Regardless of your situations in life always endeavor to always praise the lord. Prayers Lord, let no circumstance take away your joy in our lives Lord, the blessings of this year release to us.
