“Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of The Heavenly Calling, consider The Apostle and High Priest of our Confession, CHRIST JESUS, Who was faithful to Him Who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in All His House. For This One has been counted worthy of More Glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house. For every house is built by someone, but He Who built all things is GOD. And Moses indeed was faithful in all His House as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward, but CHRIST as A SON over His Own House, Whose house we are if we hold fast The Confidence and The Rejoicing of The Hope firm to the end.” Hebrews 3:1-6.

Our daily priority must be to glorify THE LORD JESUS CHRIST “counted worthy of More Glory…”, “that in all things GOD may be glorified through JESUS CHRIST, to Whom belong The Glory and The Dominion forever and ever. Amen.” (1 Peter 4:11).

Praise is an “at all times” discipline, desire and lifestyle we must cultivate with The Help of THE HOLY SPIRIT. Praise must continually be in your mouth.

What ways can you bless GOD at all times and praise Him continually?

• Singing to GOD (sing with the spirit (tongues), sing with the understanding – 1 Corinthians 14:15);
• Dancing to GOD (whether wonderful or ‘awful’, your dancing from the heart to GOD pleases Him exceedingly. GOD dances, and likes to see us dance to Him, for Him and with Him). Dance before THE LORD with all your might (1 Samuel 6:14);
• Leaping and whirling before THE LORD (1 Samuel 6:16);
• Giving thanks to Him for Eternal Life and All His Goodness;
• Giving thanks to Him for His PRECIOUS BLOOD, for His ALL-POWERFUL NAME, for His Good, Living and POWERFUL WORD, for His Power, His Protection, His Consuming Fire (for our good but for destruction of the adversaries), etc.;
• Admiring and adoring His Creation (design, function, wonder), and praising Him for them, talking to Him about them (He is SO pleased when we do so): the birds of the air, bird song, animals, plants, flowers, etc., the holy angels, and above all, the MARVEL of man! (Looking at and studying human anatomy always cause me to PRAISE and glorify GOD exceedingly. The human body is an endlessly amazing wonder. Oh, well done JESUS!). What shall we say about the heavens? GOD Himself says to look up and marvel at them. “Lift up your eyes on high,and see Who has created these things, Who brings out their host by number; He calls them all by name, By the greatness of His might And the strength of His power; not one is missing,” Isaiah 40:26. Be amazed and glorify GOD for the glory and endless expanse of the heavens He has created and stretched out all by Himself. The endless trillions upon trillions of planets and stars and other heavenly objects, all moving in their orbits and not colliding or crashing or running out of power, for thousands of years! THE SON OF GOD is upholding them all by THE WORD OF HIS POWER (Hebrews 1:3). Wonder at and admire the glory of the sun, the moon and the stars, (1 Corinthians 15:41);
• Praising Him and thanking Him for His Wisdom and Provision to man to create things for our use, convenience and comfort: houses, furniture, mobile phones, aircraft, vehicles, roads, other infrastructure, all other things created by man, originating from GOD (many of which are copies of Things in Heaven);
• Praising Him and thanking Him for the innumerable types of food: grain, fish, meat, vegetables, and so on, giving us all things richly to enjoy;
• Lifting up your hands in praise to Him;
• Waiving your hands to Him in reverence and honour;
• Rejoicing before Him with gladness;
• Looking up and laughing joyfully to Him, giggling to Him;
• Giving Him joyful shouts;
• Telling Him how much you LOVE and adore Him;
• Telling Him how GOOD He is beyond amazing;
• Telling Him that He is WORTHY, HOLY, BEAUTIFUL, AWESOME, GLORIOUS, etc.;

Apart from His MARVELLOUS Physical Handsomeness, GOD literally looks “like A Jasper and A Sardius Stone in Appearance”, and has “A Rainbow around The Throne, in Appearance like an emerald.” (Revelation 4:3). Daniel saw JESUS and said that “His Body was like Beryl” (Daniel 10:6). GOD is endlessly, marvellously BEAUTIFUL and GLORIOUS! “Behold The Beauty of THE LORD” (Psalm 27:4);

• Giving Him Blessing and Honour and Power and Glory;
• Saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is THE LAMB Who was slain to receive Power and Riches and Wisdom, And Strength and Honor and Glory and Blessing!” (Revelation 5:12);
• Like all the angels around The Throne and the elders and the four living creatures, fall on your face before The Throne (we can come to The Throne — Hebrews 4:16) and worship GOD, saying: “Amen! Blessing and Glory and Wisdom, Thanksgiving and Honor and Power and Might, Be to our GOD forever and ever. Amen.” (Revelation 7:11-12);
• Like the living creatures, give Glory and Honor and Thanks to Him Who sits on The Throne, Who lives forever and ever (Revelation 4:9);
• Like the twenty-four elders, fall down before Him Who sits on The Throne and worship Him Who lives forever and ever, and cast your crown before The Throne (gesturing with your hand), saying: “You are worthy, O LORD, To receive Glory and Honor and Power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.” (Revelation 4:10-11);
• Returning like the thankful Samaritan healed of leprosy, and with a loud voice glorify GOD and fall down on your face at His Feet, giving Him thanks (Luke 17:15-16);
• Bowing down your head and prostrating yourself before THE LORD in worship to Him (1 Chronicles 29:20);
• Bowing your head with your face to the ground before THE LORD, worshiping Him (2 Chronicles 20:18);
• Bowing your knees/ kneeling to Him in reverence and honour;
• Running around, running up and down, hopping, jumping and marching as “a good soldier of JESUS CHRIST” (2 Timothy 2:3) before THE LORD, skipping before Him like a little child on the playground.

Are you not a child of GOD? Be His child that you are then, to Him – daily being His delight.

As JESUS declared: “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter The Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in The Kingdom of Heaven.” Matthew 18:3-4.

Humble yourself as a little child therefore, and run, skip, hop, jump, march before our FATHER as He sits on The Throne, looking on, LAUGHING with delight in you.

There are plenty other ways to bless THE LORD at all times and praise Him continually. Ask THE HOLY SPIRIT to show you and help you bless and praise GOD, fully pleasing Him.

“I will bless THE LORD at all times; His Praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Psalm 34:1.

“Therefore by Him let us continually offer The Sacrifice of Praise to GOD, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His NAME.” Hebrews 13:15.

‘Take words with you, And return to THE LORD. Say to Him, “Take away all iniquity; Receive us graciously, For we will offer The Sacrifices of our lips.” Hosea 14:2.

“To Him Who loved us and washed us from our sins in His Own BLOOD, and has made us kings and priests to His GOD and FATHER, to Him be Glory and Dominion forever and ever. Amen. Behold, He is coming with Clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.” Revelation 1:5-7.

“The LORD Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.” 2 Timothy 4:22.
“Farewell” Acts 15:29.
~ Jacob Addison Awagah

Jacob, an apostle of JESUS CHRIST by The Will of GOD, according to The Promise of Life Which is in CHRIST JESUS, (2 Timothy 1:1).
Like John, I like to put my head to The Heart of JESUS so as to know and do His Will always. What’s in His Heart is what matters now and FOREVER. His Heart’s Desire is my only desire. My will is to do His Will.
As John was, I am the disciple whom JESUS loves. And like Paul, I am “the prisoner of CHRIST JESUS” (Ephesians 3:1) for His Purpose forever: to obey Him always.
NB. Surely, the disciple whom JESUS loves and “the prisoner of CHRIST JESUS”, like ALL The Promises of GOD, are available to every believer to obtain, just as John and Paul did.
“And having been perfected, He [JESUS] became The Author of Eternal Salvation to all who obey Him,” Hebrews 5:9.
