TOPIC: The Weapon Of Worship [Open Heaven for Teens 22 February 2024]
MEMORISE: And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. – 2 Chronicles 20:22
BIBLE TEXT: 2 Corinthians 10:4
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
MESSAGE:
During the reign of King Jehoshaphat, Judah Was threatened with war by the Moabites, Ammonites, and some other nations. The king ran to God for help and was given the most unrealistic strategy to win. Imagine if I told you that God said that if all Christians can praise Him in songs for just an hour, He would cause all the terrorists in the world to start dancing out of their dens to the nearest police stations to surrender their ammunitions. That would be unbelievable, right? This was exactly the scenario that played out when God instructed the king to let his choir lead the people in worship. Before long, all the enemies turned against one another and killed themselves.
The reason many worship and praise sessions don’t move God is because they are like a jamboree, done to display talents rather than honour God in faith. Perhaps, this is why many remain the same after singing and dancing in God’s presence.
My dear child, for your worship to become a weapon that scatters the enemies, it must be done in faith and must be done to honour God.
ACTION POINT:
Spend 30 minutes to worship God today.
