Deliberation on Olympic Games disgrace
All creatures ever created are called to worship God. Even Satan himself is still under that same obligation – as from the beginning of time! There are billions of people out there who has the desire to worship! But unfortunately they have never been introduced to the One they have been created in their core being, to worship, admire & revere.
Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND HIM ONLY YOU SHALL SERVE.’ “Mat 4:10
And Jesus answered and said to him, “Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, ‘YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND HIM ONLY YOU SHALL SERVE.’ “Luk 4:8
Rom 1:16-17 & 18-23
(16) For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes…
(17) For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.”
It is our privilege, obligation and commission to go tell… the Good News Gospel to the world. Millions of people have been gifted to create through music, art, dance & movement… These gifts were originally given to people in the Old Testament for the sole purpose of building the TABERNACLE of God in the desert and later in Jerusalem.
The creative gifts & every other skill God has entrusted to us first & foremost purpose was apply in the practice of the “Worship of God” . If NOT used to worship God, it will be abused to worship anything you can think off. For worship is in our DNA & we, as human beings will find anything to lift up in high esteem – we are wired to our core to worship something!
Today if we can have a chance to share with anyone the true purpose of their gifting we maybe have an opportunity to change a life,… and through that to change the world.
Rom 1:18-23
(18) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
(19) because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. (20) For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,
(21) because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
(22) Professing to be wise, they became fools,
(23) and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
Rev 19:16-21
(16) And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
(17) Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, “Come and gather together for the supper of the great God,
(18) that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and great.”
(19) And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army.
(20) Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.
(21) And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.

SCRIPTURE READING:
Hebrews 10:9-10, 19-20, 23-24, 29, 31, 35-36, 38-39 NKJV
[9] then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second.
[10] By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
[19] Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,
[20] by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,
[23] Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
[24] And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,
[29] Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?
[31] It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
[35] Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.
[36] For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:
[38] Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.”
[39] But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.
Amen and amen.
May our God keep, guide, protect, and grace you with all His riches in His glory in this hour and time.
You are much valued and appreciated in your office of prayer and intercession.
