RHAPSODY OF REALITIES



*Rhapsody Of Realities*

TOPIC: Worship Him Anywhere…Anytime

SCRIPTURE: And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it (Revelation 21:22).

THE MESSAGE
In the Old Testament, the Israelites worshiped God in a temple, but in the beautiful revelation of the New Jerusalem, the Apostle John gushes in admiration about how the city of God could exist without a temple. One would have expected to see a temple, just as it was in Old Testament days. But this New Jerusalem, however, doesn’t need a temple because the entire city is the dwelling place of Almighty God and the Lamb. That’s remarkable!

In other words, His presence is everywhere in that city; the whole thing has become His temple. That brings to mind what Jesus said as He engaged a woman in Sychar, a Samaritan village. The woman had said, “Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship” (John 4:20 NKJV). But then, Jesus replied, “…the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him” (John 4:23). Why? It’s because in the spirit, they’d experience the presence of God anywhere, and everywhere.

Today, everywhere you go, you carry His presence in you, and with you. Now you can better understand the words of the Apostle Paul in Acts 17:28: “For in him we live, and move, and have our being….” We’re not apart or separate from Him. We don’t seek or look for Him; we’re in Him and with Him, and He’s in us, with us and about us! Wherever you are, wherever you go, you live and move in Him.

This same Apostle said in Romans 1:9, “For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers.” Can you see how Paul did it? He served God with his “spirit” in the Gospel of His Son. The word “serve” actually refers to “worship.” That’s why we can worship Him anywhere, and at any time.

This is different from the Old Testament where they had to go to the right place to offer the right sacrifice; if they didn’t go to the right place, it was not accepted. In fact, when they set up a new temple in Samaria, God was angry, because according to His instruction, the temple was only to be in Jerusalem. But in Christ Jesus, we worship God with our spirits. Hallelujah!

Even now, lift your hands in worship to the Lord and offer Him a sacrifice of sweet-smelling savour. From where you are, worship the Father from your spirit and according to His Word.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I worship and adore you today from my spirit. I adore you, everlasting King of glory, the only wise and true God, gracious and kind, holy and righteous, ever loving and forgiving. I love you Lord; and thank you for the blessing of the New Testament in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY:
Philippians 3:3 (KJV): For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

Hebrews 13:15 (AMPC) Through Him, therefore, let us constantly and at all times offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of lips that thankfully acknowledge and confess and glorify His name.

Kingsnation20online.blogspot.com Daily Juice The only part of you that hurts when you're given the truth is the part that lives on lies. It doesn't matter the financial challenge you might be going through, it won't make God to tell you not to pay your tithe. Stop complaining, If you don't respond to God according to His blessings in your life, you may not experience that kind of miracle again in your life and you may not have consistent miracles like you want it. God has set down His principles and will, but they are set in motion by us.

They are well-schooled and vastly-knowledgeable, yet true success eludes them. This is because they function from the mind, the sense-realm, which, even at its best, is still greatly limited. The mind is never enough; true success is by the Spirit. The world may describe you as a “super brain” or a genius; it makes no difference. The wisdom of this world profits nothing. Success isn‘t by might or by power, but by the Spirit of God. If you’ve been trying to su...

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES TEEVO

Kingsnation20online.blogsot.com RHAPSODY OF REALITIES TEEVO MONDAY, 30TH AUGUST 2021 👤 PASTOR CHRIS THEME: HUMILITY PROMOTES (God Promotes The Humble)” TO THE BIBLE 📖: 1 Peter 5:6 “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.” LET'S TALK Have you ever truly considered the fact that Jesus died for you personally? If you were the only one on the face of the earth, Jesus would still made a decision many years ago to be a humble person. The only way I could be humble was by letting the Word of God show me what it is to be humble, studying about humility in the Word of God, and acting accordingly. Humility is yielding yourself to the Lordship of the Word of God; it doesn’t mean you’re weak or humiliated. When you’re humble, nothing, and no one, can humiliate you It’s like that old hymn by John Bunyan: “He that is down needs fear no fall, He that is low, no pride; He that is humble ever shall have God to be his guide.” This just means t...
