Babatunde Idowu Theme: Let Everything Praise The Lord Topic: God deserves your Praises and Worship Text: Psalm 148:1-14, Rev. 4:9-11, Psalm 50:14-23 Message What is praise and why should we give it to God? The Bible said offer it unto God. Praise means value, price or worth. So whatever you consider to have value and worth is what you praise. Anything that have the fear of God is worthy of praise. When you know God has value in your life, you have no choice but to praise Him. To praise is a form of commendation, approval etc. you give to something or someone you find worthy. As believers we must learn to appreciate God always. We must learn to give Him praise and worship. When you offer praises to God, you are glorifying Him. Why must we give Him praise? He demands it. You must determine to give God praise whether you like it or not. Always appreciate God regardless of how you see your situation. Offer to Him sacrifice of thanksgiving. He owns all of us and all the things in heaven and on earth so we need to praise Him for it all. Always endeavor to give God His due, because without God we are nothing. We must also praise Him because He is superior to all other gods. We must praise Him for our redemption. Are you a member of the family of God? This is another reason to praise God. We must praise God in truth and sincerity not in deceit or falsehood, pay your vows. We must worship God in absolute trust. Whatsoever we do, we must know that God is too faithful to fail us. Prayers Lord, help us to always see a reason to praise you. Lord, help us to trust you fully. Lord help us to always know that you will always come through for us.
