YOUR PRAISE AND YOUR DEDICATION

SCRIPTURE: But 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

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Dedicated people seek God’s Face and not just His Hands.

God created us to praise Him and also to be dedicated to Him. Dedication to God is a form of praise. However, there is something vital about the praise of dedicated people we need to learn. Two outstanding key thoughts about dedicated people are:

1. Dedicated people are quality Worshippers. Most people praise God when it is convenient or when something happens but dedicated people are unconditional and quality worshippers of God. Paul the Apostle is definition of dedication. He lived a life of praise consistently (Philippians 4:4). He praised and worshiped God always. This was why he said in everything, give thanks (1 Thessalonians 5:18). Paul lived a life that is practically inseparable from praise.

2. There is a difference between the praise of dedicated people and the general people. Dedicated people seek God’s Face and not just His Hands. Most people look for God for what they can get from Him; they want God’s products and not God’s Presence. Many people will not come to church if there is no miracle but dedicated people seek God’s Person. For dedicated people, God is the main Pursuit, miracles are by-product. They seek the Face of God.

The outcome of dedicated worship is that dedicated people end up as profitable citizens of the planet earth. That will be your portion in Jesus’ Name.

Remember this: Dedicated people seek God’s Face and not just His Hands

ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Make up your mind to be brutally dedicated to God.
2. Praise God from the heart and not just the lips.

PRAYER: O LORD, I asked for the discipline of dedication. Let praise flow out of my heart O LORD, in Jesus’ Name.
