EXTRA READING FOR TODAY: 2 Samuel 19-21
READ: Psalms 115:1-8
1 Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, But to Your name give glory, Because of Your mercy, Because of Your truth.
2 Why should the Gentiles say, “So where is their God?”
3 But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands.
5 They have mouths, but they do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see;
6 They have ears, but they do not hear; Noses they have, but they do not smell;
7 They have hands, but they do not handle; Feet they have, but they do not walk; Nor do they mutter through their throat.
8 Those who make them are like them; So is everyone who trusts in them.

MEMORISE: “Those who make them become like them; so do all who trust in them . ” – Psalms 115:8
EXPOSITION
Happy Palm Sunday 2022! Glory be to God. On this auspicious day that people chose to spread materials in worship of the King of kings as He triumphantly entered into Jerusalem, heralding the Passion Week, let us talk about worship. You are indeed whom (or ‘what’, as the case may be) you worship.

The Psalmist, in Psalms 115, talked about Israel’s worship of idols. These idols could not hear, speak, see, or even feel. They were the works of human hands, made of silver and gold; brought forth by the imaginations and beliefs of human beings. Hence, the Psalmist lamented that when Israel made or put their trust in such idols, they became like them. Implication: they could not “hear, see, speak, or even feel.” They became as “worthless” as these idols. In the end, many of them could not appreciate the beauty, glory, and truth about God; and even broke away from His love.

In this day and age, most of us do not worship idols such as those worshipped by Israel. However, many of us might be struggling with “idolatry” brought forth by our time spent with our hand phones or gaming media, on a daily basis. If we are not careful, we might become more and more like what we are spending our time on. We could become just like our hand phones: having much data or information, but very lacking in real human interaction or involvement. We could become so entrenched in the hyperactivity brought forth by gaming that we become increasingly distant from real people in the real world. We could even become easily angered or irritated with people around us. As we continue to worship (or become addicted to) such devices, we might just become more and more like them; great to look at on the outside, but really hollow on the inside. We become whom or what we worship.

Therefore, let us focus our eyes on the One who is truly worthy of our attention, so that we can become more like Him and worship Him in spirit and truth with all the musical instruments and melodies we have at our disposal such as Jazz, drums, guitars, etc.
PRAYER POINT:
1. Lord, help us to take step back and realise how much we have come to rely on our devices, even those brought with our monies.
2. Help us Lord, to break away from our addictions, so that we can refocus on You.
3. Pray for CAC Odubanjo Region, our father in the Lord, the Superintendent, and its officers at the various levels, as led by the Spirit of God.
DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
SPECIAL NOTE!
Salvation of your soul is very important to God.
Beloved Reader, Remember! John 3:3 says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless ye are born again, ye cannot see the kingdom of God.”
If you are ready to give your life to Christ Jesus, please pray the displayed prayer below in faith:
Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. I confess all my sin, have mercy on me, forgive me all my sin. Lord Jesus come into my life. I accept You as my Lord and Personal Saviour. I believe in my heart You died and rose from the dead to save me. Thank You Lord for saving me, in Jesus name Amen.
If you just prayed the prayer of salvation! Congratulations! You are now born again. You need to belong to a Bible-Believing Church where you can know more. For testimonies, counselling or prayer requests, visit, CAC 13 Celestial Way, Ketu 100242, Lagos.
Beware! This Scripture: “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold,” Matt 24:12, is happening in our days.
Our prayer is: any power or any problem that will kill our love for God, blood of Jesus shall destroy and flush them away from us, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
Thank you for your patient with us. And thank you for all your comments, observations, feedbacks and time spent on this platform. We cherish your presence here.
Beloved! We are in perilous time when kidnappings, banditry and other vices have become daily occurrences. But the Lord is saying, do not be afraid! Be strong in the Lord! Be bold & be courageous!
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, you shall not be a victim to whatever calamity flying around by day or by night, in the name of Jesus, Amen!
Shalom!
