Rhapsody of Realities, REAL WORSHIP—BEYOND FORM OR RITUAL, Tuesday, February 21st. 2023 by Pastor Chris

Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all (1 Chronicles 29:11).

Some people don’t understand what worship is and so they miss out on its blessings and benefits. Worship is the recognition and appreciation of the goodness, blessings, kindness and righteousness of God. It is the appreciation and recognition of His character, and therefore, the confession of His character. Hence, true praise is worship.

When, for instance, you give thanks to God and say “Lord, you’re good; you’re kind; you’ve blessed me; you’re righteous,” you’re defining, recognizing, appreciating and promoting the character of God. The Lord appreciates that because it shows who He is in your life; it separates or distinguishes Him from everyone and everything else.

When you thank Him for His goodness, provision, blessings, and all the wonderful things He’s done in your life, you’re saying “Oh Lord, I know it’s you who did all these things.” You’re attributing those beautiful works to Him, and the necessary result is that He’ll do more for you and reveal Himself to you in a greater way.

Worship always brings a greater revelation of God. This is why we worship only God, and not men, angels, or any other creation. How important worship is! It should be for you something beyond a form or ritual. It should be a time of true recognition, perception and a real encounter with who God is.

PRAYER:

Dear Father, I lift my hands in worship and offer to you sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving from my spirit. I adore you, Lord, for you alone are God, the everlasting King of glory, the only wise and true God, gracious and kind, holy and righteous, ever loving and forgiving. Thank you for the blessing of the New Testament in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY:
Revelation 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. Psalm 96:9-10 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth. 10 Say among the heathen [that] the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously. John 4:24 God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.

#AFFIRMATIONTRAIN 21ST FEBRUARY.

I affirm that the greatness, the power, the victory, the majesty, and the kingdom are mine because the Lord has conferred these on me! There’s order in my life! My life is excellent and full of glory, crowned with honour; and the pleasure of the Lord is prospering through me. The Holy Spirit is my coach; thus, my spirit is guided into all truth! I have wisdom for ministry, for my job, my business, my relationship, finances, health, and family! Life is not a mystery unto me because the Holy Spirit teaches me all things. Hallelujah!

The truths of God are unveiled to my spirit, and by these truths, I walk in the realms of glory. I am an associate of the God-kind; a partaker of His grace, glory, and the expression of His righteousness. All my needs are supplied according to God’s riches in glory by Christ Jesus, in spite of inflation, recession, and the global economic meltdown. Hallelujah!

I’ve been given all things that pertain to life and Godliness. God has set eternity in my heart; therefore, the kingdom’s dreams and ideas prosper in my hands. I’m fully convinced that the Gospel is God’s saving power to everyone who believes, and therefore, I’m resolute in my commitment to win more people to Christ, snatching many out of the kingdom of darkness into the glorious liberty of the sons of God. Hallelujah! I am divinely backed by the host of Heaven, and the Spirit of excellence is at work in me, both to will and to do of God’s good pleasure. Glory to God. Hallelujah!

Welcome to Nze Ikay's Investigative Blog, A Place Where Truth Finds Its Voice. A New Chapter in African Investigative Journalism. "The duty of the press is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable." — Finley Peter Dunne I welcome you to Nze Ikay's Investigative Blog, the digital heartbeat of Nze Ikay Media and Communication Limited. Here, we do not merely report news. We dig deep. We ask the uncomfortable questions. We follow the footprints in the dark, armed only with the torch of truth and the compass of integrity. Our Mandate Is Africa, Nigeria, and the Untold Stories of Mama Africa. This platform is dedicated to investigative journalism that matters. From the corridors of power in Abuja to the remote villages of the Niger Delta, from the bustling markets of Lagos to the mineral-rich lands of the North, we will be present, we will ask questions, and we will tell the story as it is. Our focus is unapologetically African, with a special lens on our beloved home country, Nigeria, a nation of boundless potential too often betrayed by those entrusted with her care. As the Igbo elders say, "A toad does not run in the daytime for nothing." When something is amiss, when the powerful conspire against the powerless, when public funds disappear into private pockets, when elections are stolen from the people — someone must run. Someone must shout. Someone must expose. That someone is us - Nze Ikay Media And Communications. On this media outlet, you will find: 1. Deep-dive investigations into corruption, electoral fraud, and institutional failures. 2. Exclusive reports on matters that affect the lives of everyday Nigerians. 3. Unfiltered analysis of the political and social forces shaping Africa, our continent. 4. Stories of resilience, the Nigerians and Africans who refuse to be silenced. Our Commitment: We make this solemn pledge to you, our readers: We will not be bought. We will not be silenced. We will not bow to the pressure of the powerful. As the Yoruba say, "Bi a ba n'pa eku fun eku, a ma n'pa eku fun eku, ti a ba n'pa eran, a ma n'pa eran." meaning, If we are killing rats, we kill rats; if we are killing bigger game, we kill bigger game. We treat all stories with equal diligence, and no one is too powerful to escape our scrutiny. So, Join the Movement. Truth-telling is not a solo journey. We invite you to be part of this mission: Share information (securely and anonymously) if you have stories that need telling. Engage with our content, comment, challenge, and contribute to the discourse. Stand with us as we navigate the dangerous but necessary path of investigative journalism. The road will not be easy. The powerful do not sleep, and they do not take kindly to those who shine light on their deeds. But as our ancestors taught us, "Onye amaghị nwanne ya, ọ ga-arahụ n'ọhịa", meaning, one who does not know their sibling will sleep in the wild. We know who we are. We know whose side we are on. We are on the side of the people. And God is with us. Most importantly, remember that evil prevails when good men sit and do nothing. Welcome to Nze Ikay's Investigative Blog. Where truth is not just told — it is unearthed. Follow us for stories that matter. Share for justice that lasts. https//:www.nzeikayblog.com Nze Ikay Founder/Lead Investigator Nze Ikay Media and Communication Limited © 2026 Nze Ikay Media and Communication Limited.
