Adoring God thru Thanks & Praise
Dear Brothers & Sisters In Christ,
It’s my conviction that the path
to intentional discipleship is to
grow towards spiritual maturity
by nurturing key disciple attitudes:
a) Seeking God especially when
we have challenges, thru prayers,
waiting upon Him & being watchful.
b) Trusting God. Humans due to
self centredness tends to unbelief.
And we ought to trust God for
His goodness, might and especially
His faithfulness, for as a covenantal
God given us numerous promises.
c) Adoring God. But mankind
following the Fall just did not
adore Him but seek own ways.
And Apostle Paul said in Romans
1:21 that they did not glorify Him
nor were thankful (and) became
futile in their thoughts and their
foolish hearts were darkened.
We have to learn to adore God;
especially through Thanking God
for what He has done for us
and Praising God for who He is.
And worship is an excellent way
to thank and praise God through
hymns and spiritual songs,
which not only engage the mind
and heart but also our emotion.
Beginning this week, we will be
meditating on a new series on
Adoring God thru Thanks & Praise.
Like the two previous series
(Seeking God thru Biblical Prayers
& Trusting God thru His Promises),
we will systematically cover
Adoring God in one year, over six
phases guided by Biblical genres.
From the earliest days of the church,
the singing of hymns & spiritual songs has been an integral part of Christian worship. It is a means
for believers to express praise to
their Creator and Saviour. It’s a way
for us to communicate with God
using more than just words. For
it allows us to pour out the grateful
feelings of the heart as well as
to express commitment to God.
We’ll be sharing the story behind
the hymns and spiritual songs,
the scripture that inspires lyrics,
besides prayer response. Look for it!
