Don't Worship Another

 Luke 4:5-8

In our text passage we see Satan trying to get worship from Jesus in a very sly and cunning way, he failed to tempt Jesus successfully.

When he didn't succeed in getting worship from Jesus he tried to kill Jesus.

He tried to tempt Jesus to jump off the high mountain region of a temple and misused the scriptures in a twisted fashion to achieve his aim.

Of course, it failed.

Luke 4:9-13

We are created for the glory and pleasure of God and worship glorifies and pleasures God.

Revelation 4:11

Satan has always desired worship, knowing most human beings will not directly or intentionally worship him he tries to get it indirectly.

Matthew 4:8,9

Isaiah 14:13

The scriptures tell us not to worship another except the creator.

Our worship options are between God our creator and Satan our enemy.

There's no other option, it's either you're a worshipper of God or you're a direct or indirect worshipper of Satan.

John 8:44,45

Jesus called the Jews who didn't know God children of Satan.

John 8:39-44

These were men who didn't openly worship Satan, many of them knew the law and were morally upright by their own standards; yet Jesus called them children of Satan, He said Satan was their father.

They believed they were Abraham's children but they were actually deceived.

John 8:39,40

If Jesus had worshipped Satan by falling for Satan's temptation he would have succeeded in diverting Jesus from his assignment.

The worship of Satan is an evil diversion.

Those who worship Satan directly or indirectly have been deceived at some point in their lives, they have believed and accepted a lie.

2 Corinthians 11:3

You should worship God because you were created originally for His worship, humanity was created originally in God's image and likeness.

Genesis 1:26, 28

It is your spiritual destiny to worship God

Worship is a beautiful and precious thing, so valuable Satan desires it.

To resist Satan is to deny him of worship.

James 4:7

To rebuke Satan in the name of the Lord  is to deny him of worship.

Jude 9

To reject Satan's temptations is to deny him of worship.

John 4:8

To reject the doctrine of devils, his churches, and teachings is to deny Satan worship.

Revelation 2:9

The founder of the "church" of Satan was a man called Anton Lavey, he is dead now.

Such places and other occultic groups should not be joined, to join such groups is to give Satan worship.

Worship God, it brings His presence.

Worship is part of the culture of God's kingdom.

Worship done through Jesus Christ is acceptable to God, the sacrifice of Jesus our Lord makes our worship acceptable before God our Father.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
