Thou shall have no other god before Me... I have none.

What's up guys? How's life with you? Do you remember the ten commandments? I learnt them as a child! My dad use to make us read up the entire Ex 20, it was so long for me as a child but what's amazing is that I never forgot those scripture even as an adult. Thou shall have no other god before me is one of the commandments! It has being ringing in my head with a new twist. Now here's what I mean. Whenever you go into church and its time for worship or any activity that requires the congregation participating, I noticed that so many of us are often too heavy to move. We are like run down molue, I don't understand why moving our bodies seem hardest in church. Anyway, God had been speaking to me on the above issue. There's a point you get to in life and you'll have to declare your loyalty and follow through. Its something the men of our time knew a lot about, I mean check out Adolf Hitler, Idi Amin of Uganda, Mormma Gadafi of Libya, Nelson Mandela of South Africa, the list is endless, very bold men who took on their generation, many of them had selfish intentions, only few fought for a good cause; yet the fought to the death, suffered for what the believed, the moved so the world would move in their direction. I have never seen a people so obsessed by themselves or so uninformed about the person of their God like Christian, I know you'll say "its not true" but trust me, the way you move determines the knowledge/value you have of the God you serve. Worship and praise is never done in quiet, its not possible to be in your Molue mode and say you are worshipping. If really we say we serve a true God, why do we find it so hard to move and showcase our awe of him. Thou shall have no other god before me is a command and I say I have none, I make bold to say I have none and you can see this when I move. Can you say the same? What are we so obsessed about, what is in you that makes you too big of too classy to praise like a rascal, where do we draw the line between being civil and being grateful. If you believe God is all you've got, then act like you know. Let people in your office know that you are a son or daughter of the kingdom. Quit filling forms and writing Christian if you cannot showcase God in character. We are the custodian of the grace of God for the last days. We speak cause we believe. 1corth 1.18 says I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ, for its the power of God unto salvation. To lay claim to that scripture you'll have to do more than just showing up at meetings, you'll have to be actively involved. Infact to show you how much active praise and worship/participation means to God, the initial 3 commandments are worship based. Let's see them: 1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me 2.Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 3. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; Guys God says my glory will I share with no man. Its no joke when we refuse to worship, from the way God gave the commandments,I see that the soul purpose of man is to worship God. That's why we were created. Not to wear shoes and bags or drive Suv. We are the worship generation not the Prada or Gucci generation. Our first goal is worship. Praise is what I do. Worship is an art. Christians are people that act like Christ. If you are not bold enough to declare God, please start rehearsing in you room before your mirror, whatever you do please learn to move. I remember King David dancing his life out and his wife got upset he danced to the point of being naked. God punished her for querying David's devotion. God is interested in radical show off. I call it loosing your composure for God. Bring yourself to the lowest level to praise. Forget the hair, the shoes and bags, forget what they call you at work or how much you have at bank. God is Lord of all. Let everything that has breathe praise the Lord. Its my prayer that we would loosen up and praise like a rascal. Praise like you know who's the boss. Speak about him to someone as evangelism, just do something guys. Being docile is not good enough. We have grace for dominion. We are the arrow head of Gods agenda for the last days. Thou shall have no other god before me... Lord I have none. What about you? Igonoh Godwin 4/04/2012
