FAITH CAPSULE: Worshiping God is to be separated to God.
Genesis 12
The will of God for man is to serve God by worshiping God. Worshiping God is to be separated to God. The love of things of the world is a way not to worship God. However, he who does the will of God abides forever. The book of 1 John 2:15-17 buttressed, “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.”
Worshiping God is separation unto God and it is an evidence of believing God. To be separated unto God is to find Him. Seeing God is impossible where one is surrounded by the filth of this wicked world. Seeking (worshiping) God demands all of our being and those that are able to seek Him diligently shall be rewarded because He is a rewarder of those who seek Him diligently. (Hebrews 11:6) Separation unto His command is always a high order of worship whenever man obediently becomes separated to the word of God.
Abraham separated as commanded by God when he answered to God’s calling to depart his country, his family and his father’s house to a land unknown to him. (Genesis 12:1-2) Every separation to God counts before God and commits God to count on one for uncommon or special assignment. Abraham’s separation to the word of God was accounted to him for righteousness because it was evidence that he believed God. (Romans 4:3)
When man conspicuously responds to word of God by denying engagement to the love of world it becomes separation to God. Worshiping God is separation to God. Separation to God is the avenue which leads to assessing and possessing all that God has in place for any that is able to obediently separate to Him.
God is not a slave master who will force us to worship and it makes it the more reason why engaging worshiping God is a choice to be made by individual. Abraham could not substitute anything for following in line of worship when he repeatedly separated himself fully to every word of God.
As an acclaimed believer, are you separating to word of God?
Is it your love of the things of the world at the center of your life?
What is it that is denying you to worship God?
Until you are empty of world of things in your life you cannot have a space for God in your life.
Worshiping God is living godly. Godliness is counting on nothing but the One that sustains the breath in us.
Prayer for today: Ask for the grace of worshiping God to become your portion.
