WORSHIP HIS MAJESTY Memory Verse: Psalm 107:2 “2Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy.” BIBLE PASSAGE:Psalm 103:1-22 INTRODUCTION: The divine decision at creation to make Man a living soul had established an eternal link between Man and God. The strength of this link is determined by many factors one of which is the supernatural ability to praise God especially for His unique merciful acts which were not extended to any other of His creations. May the Holy Spirit teach us and bless us as we study, in Jesus’ name.
WORSHIP HIS MAJESTY Outlines: THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD SAY SO. THE LIVING BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT. THERE IS POWER IN PRAISE.
Outline 1: • THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD SAY SO • The formerly hell-bound sinner whose sins are forgiven, now with a strong confidence of eternity in Heaven cannot but praise the Lord - (Psalm 103:1-4, Psalm 107:1-2). Though difficult to comprehend, except by the Holy Spirit, the Christian now knows that he or she is a child of God. This is a mystery that is worthy of thanksgiving by the regenerated man (Romans 8:15-16, Matthew 6:9) Christians are redeemed from the curse of law, a most terrible cause for perpetual weeping. WORSHIP HIS MAJESTY
WORSHIP HIS MAJESTY • Outline 2: • THE LIVING BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT. • The Almighty God, our Shepherd is the keeper of Israel that neither sleeps nor slumbers. He is the hedge of fire around His own, to consume all fiery darts of the enemy. Indeed, it is only the living spared from all the attacks of the enemy that shall praise the Lord - Isaiah 38:19. All living souls in appreciation of the goodness of God cannot but praise the Lord. Such was the case of Mary - Luke 1:46-55, Hannah – 1 Samuel 2:1-10 and Paul – 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, Ephesians 1:1-12.
Outline 2: • THERE IS POWER IN PRAISE. • Appreciation rendered to God in praises and thanksgiving is not just empty noise for there is power in praises. King Jehoshaphat, for example at the unction of the Spirit of God, chose the line of praise and he won the battle against the Moabites and the Ammonites – 2 Chronicles 20:14-22. • Paul and Silas did so in the prison yard and their chains and fetters were broken, prison doors were unlocked, the prisoners were set free and the jailor and his household were saved – Acts 16:25-34. This was proved in the earthly life of the Lord Jesus Christ. His prayers at some remarkable periods were preceded by “I thank thee..” An example is during the raising of Lazarus from dead after four day - John 11:4-45 WORSHIP HIS MAJESTY
WORSHIP HIS MAJESTY • CONCLUSION • Christians, as peculiar people, a chosen generation, royal priesthood and a holy nation are supposed to show forth the praises of Him who has called them out of darkness into the marvelous light – 1 Peter 2:9.
