WORSHIP IN HEAVEN
ISAIAH 6:1-7
In the year that King Uzziah died I then saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphs; each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is Jehovah of Hosts; the whole earth full of His glory. And the doorposts moved at the voice of the one who cried, and the house was filled with smoke. Then I said, Woe is me! For I am undone; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of Hosts. Then one of the seraphs flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, snatched with tongs from the altar. And he laid it on my mouth and said, Lo, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged.
KEY VERSE
โAnd one cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is Jehovah of Hosts; the whole earth full of His glory.โ V.3
MESSAGE
God is wonderful and greatly to be praised. With a wonderful breeze of Godโs love, I welcome you to the last month of the year. I pray our lives shall be a testimony of Godโs greatness this month and beyond, in Jesus' name. Amen.
In the text, Prophet Isaiah was opportune to visualize worship in the celestial realm. The Seraphims have six wings- two for meditation, two for humility, and two for service. Therefore service should take only a third of our energy. Our worship must take into important consideration the need to come to God in humility and understanding. We are not to worship God the way we presume but according to His specification.
One cried unto another- one inspired spirit will awaken others. Our gathering should inspire us. The threefold repetition of the word holy implies the Trinity. If door-posts tremble, much more should the hearts of sinful men! If truly we desire Godโs presence in our gathering, our hearts must be full of awe. God will not manifest when things are done haphazardly. The devil only appears with similar things as God to further cause confusion. What a wonderful atmosphere we will create if we truly worship God in the beauty of His holiness.
Prayer:
Glorious Father, open our eyes of understanding to worship you rightly and enjoy the glorious manifestation of your presence in our gatherings, in Jesus' name. Amen.
Food for thought:
โYou will make Me know the way of life; in Your presence is fullness of joys. At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.โ Psalm 16:11
