Sermon Notes
The devil was not always the devil; he once was the anointed cherubim of worship but fell when he stopped worshipping God. As a Christian, you should always praise the Lord, not as a routine, but with passion and gratitude!
Key Scriptures:
Ezekiel 28:1-19; Isaiah 14:11-16; I Peter 2:9; Psalm 150:6; John 20:19
Key Points:
- Praise God because you’re free. You can be saved and satisfied. When you’re really free, you won’t wish you could go back to your old life. Praise God because you’re free!
- You are a chosen generation. You can’t live off your parents’ faith. You are a chosen generation, which means you should generate something. God has chosen you to be a praiser. Praise is your purpose! You were justified to glorify. You were liberated to leap. You were delivered to dance.
- God’s Church is always to praise. Don’t let praise stay in your past; bring it into your present. Praise is not to be made light of or made fun of. Put on the garment of praise and celebrate what God has done. Don’t let the music or the preacher be more important than Jesus.
- Not worshipping is pride. If you won’t praise God, you are doing the same thing Lucifer did that got him kicked out of Heaven. Praise is not denominational; it’s biblical! A Christian cannot live without praising God.
Final Thoughts:
If you don’t learn to praise, you will be down and bound. If you stop worshipping God, you will turn into something you don’t want to be. But if you praise, you can praise your way out of the valley, shake off every chain, and be who God called you to be. If you don’t worship, it won’t just affect you; it will also cause others not to praise God. Choose to worship
