Invitations To Worship Our Lord And God – By Iwalola(Lola) Ademodi

Worship is a multifaceted expression of devotion, adoration and reverence toward our God.

Through His Word in the Bible, God invites us to worship Him.

One of such powerful invitation to worship can be found in Psalm 95:6-7.

Psalms 95:6-7 AMP invites us, saying;

“O come, let us worship and bow down, Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker [in reverent praise and prayer].

For He is our God And we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand. Today, if you will hear His voice”

Also, Psalms 95:1-3 AMP invites

“O come, let us sing joyfully to the Lord; Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation.

Let us come before His presence with a song of thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with songs.

For the Lord is a great God And a great King above all gods,”

Psalms 100:1-4 AMP invites us to;

“Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.

Serve the Lord with gladness and delight; Come before His presence with joyful singing.

Know and fully recognize with gratitude that the Lord Himself is God; It is He who has made us, not we ourselves [and we are His].

We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

Enter His gates with a song of thanksgiving And His courts with praise.

Be thankful to Him, bless and praise His name.”

Psalms 150:6 AMP requests

“Let everything that has breath and every breath of life praise the Lord! Praise the Lord (Hallelujah!)”

John 4:23-24 AMP tells us;

“But a time is coming and is already here when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit [from the heart, the inner self] and in truth; for the Father seeks such people to be His worshipers.

God is spirit [the Source of life, yet invisible to mankind], and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

These verses can be incorporated into worship services, personal devotionals, or even used as prompts for reflection and prayer.

They highlight the importance of both outward expressions of worship (like singing and bowing down) and inward devotion (worshiping in spirit and truth).

These verses emphasizes humility, recognizing God as our creator and shepherd, and calls us to a physical act of worship.

Almighty God, as we open Your Word, we are reminded of Your invitation to worship You with reverence and joy.

We bow before You, our Maker, acknowledging Your sovereignty and love.

Let Your words guide us in our worship.

I pray that our hearts be attuned to Your voice, and may our praises be a sweet melody in Your ears.

Holy Spirit of the living God, in the midst of the busyness of life, we pause to enter into Your presence.

Lord, quiet our hearts and minds as we seek You in this moment of stillness.

Speak to us, Lord, and help us feel Your peace that surpasses all understanding.

Father, I pray that this time of worship be a sanctuary of rest for our souls.

In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen

Have a blessed day
