WORSHIP GOD, NOT MAN!
Revelation 19:10
And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” (NKJV)
Read: Luke 19:40
In the Bible text for today, the angel revealed certain events concerning the fall of Babylon to John. In response, John was so overwhelmed by the revelation and, therefore, paid undue reverence to the angel by bowing and worshipping him. But the messenger of God quickly cautioned John to worship God only.
John’s genuine attempt to offer worship was a perfect attribute that every child of God must have, but what was wrong was that the man wanted to adore the servant (angel) rather than the master (God). This was why the angel told John he was a fellow servant of God like him, and they were both meant to worship God. In Colossians 2:18-19, Paul also warned against the worship of angels or humans and insisted that whoever lures people to do these things is not of God.
Beloved, no human, spouse, possession, or minister of God must be worshipped. Even when God’s servants reveal the mind of God to you, the Almighty alone deserves adoration. If you belong to an assembly where people or creatures are glorified, flee before judgment falls on you. Whoever gives adoration to anything other than God is in danger of extinction. Whether a pastor, prophet, or believer, you must accord all glory to the Father and not yourself! This is because He deserves all the glory.
PRAYER
Song: The Most Holy God — Dr Paul Enenche (2020)
1. Father, open my eyes to how and where I have continuously worshipped Your creation above You.
(MIDNIGHT PRAYER)
1. Write out three things that money can never buy that you want to testify about this month and decree on them daily. It is done!
2. Father, please give me timely help with all my troubles.
3. I shall not be a victim of affliction and accusations of what I never committed.
YOU SHALL BE EXCEEDINGLY GREAT!
