JOYFUL CALL TO WORSHIP
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you adore and give praise to the Lord?
Are you worshiping him and walking in his presence?
Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship
They will walk in the light and applaud his kingship.
Jesus Christ is worthy of all praise and thanksgiving
Let us rejoice and be glad for all his favors and blessings
Call everyone to revere him and gather in adoration
Make all know that you are giving Christ due adulation.

How often do you hear of people jumping around joyfully praising the Lord? Some church denominations probably practice this, but an individual person actually doing it alone and infecting others to joyfully give praise to the Lord may be becoming a novelty nowadays. More and more people are becoming impersonal and sloppy with their worship. The distractions and busy-ness of life have contributed to people’s lax way of showing their adulation to the Lord.
The bible tells us that those who hear and heed the joyful call to worship will walk in the light and the presence of the Lord. In other words, their passion to exude the light of God to others will make them more intimate and closer to Christ Jesus.

WHOLEHEARTED WORSHIP Poem Devotional

Let all that I am praise the Lord. – Psalm 146:1(NLT)
WHOLEHEARTED WORSHIP
A poem and essay by ILMA
Jesus Christ died to give his life for you
He loves you so and wants you to be renewed
Let all that you are praise the Lord Almighty
He is the only one that can bring you victory.
Bring your heart, mind and soul to your Creator
Be faithful to devote your life to your only Savior
Wholehearted worship makes you intimate with God
It brings your focus to pleasing your Father up above.
________________________________________
“Worship” is an active response to the character, words and actions of God, initiated by His revelation and enabled by His redemption, whereby the mind is transformed, the heart is renewed and actions are surrendered all in accordance with His will and in order to declare His infinite worthiness. In both Hebrew and Greek, there are two categories of words for worship. The first is about body language that demonstrates respect and submission; to bow down, to kneel, to prostrate oneself. The second is about doing something for God that demonstrates sacrifice and obedience; to offer, to serve.
So how can a believer manifest wholehearted worship? A Christian may use different ways to worship the Lord, but the main point in worship is to give yourself to your creator and focus only your whole being to glorifying the most divine and holy person, the Lord Jesus Christ.
