PRESENT YOURSELF TO JESUS, THE ONE TRUTH - REV NICHOLAS EASMON

Christ Jesus is the best role model for the youth; his life bears the in-depth answer we search for. He harkened and subjected himself to the Lord God Almighty, and even till death presented his life, body, spirit as lamb to be slain. His sacrifice continually cleanses us from unrighteousness.  Hebrews 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. 

Being a youth in this generation, you are the church, not the future of the church and your lifestyle must win and change souls into the kingdom of God. It is with such a privilege to see unbelievers change over time by Christian influence. I admonish you to tread cautiously that your life will influence people to Jesus not vice versa.

When we proclaim worship to the Almighty God, we must diligently serve him, and diligence cannot be lukewarm that God is forced to spit us out. The word of God makes it clear that God first loved us that he says in Matthew 11:28-29 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

This means he loves us and is willing to receive us just as we are that after an encounter with him we find solace at his feet.

The Life we must life as a Christian youth is making our body the temple of God as stipulated in Romans 12:1  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Therefore your spirit must take control of your being, so Christ can live in you and have full dominion over you.
Living a Christ fulfilling life, you must desire to reflect Jesus Christ so that when you are no more, you will remind others of the Lord.

Jesus came to earth as flesh and blood so that he can bear the human afflictions, agony, hunger and everything we go through and so there’s nothing he cannot help us overcome.

2 Corinthians 5:20-21 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

He will get you through that besetting sin if you make yourself his dwelling place. On the cross of Calvary, he said "It is finished" the tense he used, finished means he fought a good fight of faith. Brethren, you can overcome the flesh to please the spirit, I’ve seen God do it.

WHO IS A WORSHIPPER? Q&A

You grow to become a worshipper once you give yourself up and accept the Lord Jesus Christ in your life, let's understand this carefully, that is the point you have an encounter with the spirit of God. The revelation makes you audacious and ready to live a life serving God at all times.

Today's discussion goes slightly deep into who a worshipper is? I pray we get the fact straight.

Who is a worshipper?

He is the person who has a daring belief in his object of worship.

He can say, with facts that God is the reason for his existence.

The word used above as daring signifies the strength of his conviction. That word alone cannot better explain the conviction we have in our Lord, God is beyond comprehension and description.

For believers we focus on looking up to Christ Jesus the author and finisher of our faith as the basis of a worshipper.

A worshipper has undoubted faith in God. He always seeks to please Him because he takes critical detail and thoughts about the wonders of God from before and now interchangeably. He always falls in love with God.

Do i have to be called to worship, or it’s my purpose? What does the Bible say?

Rev 4:11 O Lord, You are worthy to receive glory and honor and power, because you created all things, and for Your will they are and were created.

Our will is perfected in God, outside his will and purpose amounts to emptyness, if you spend your days outside the will and gain everything you end up loosing your soul as the Bible clarifies.
 

In 1 Peter 2:9, the word of God outlines our purpose clearly.
 
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)

Psalm 150:6 let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.

Rev_13:8 and all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 

Psalm 115:16-18 the heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence.

But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the Lord.

    
Romans 12:1Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.

I believe at this point, you can attest that God is intentional in all his works, the dead have no praise, the living have the mandate to praise him from dusk till dawn. And because a worshipper believes in the will of God he openly does these things;

 Do you do same?

i. A worshipper confesses that Jesus is Lord.Romans 10:9 New International Version (NIV)

⁹ If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

ii. We are filled with joy when serving the Lord, evident every time they stand before the multitude and vice versa, they are themselves when they Evangelize, Pray for a brethren, Encourage others, when they hear the word of God, when they lead the congregation to worship.

iii. You enjoy being with others when it glorifies God. Don’t forget the gathering of the saints, Hebrews 10:25New International Version (NIV)

²⁵ not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

iv. Your hiding place is in the Lord, the righteous run to God and they are save, God hides them under the shadow of His wings. 

Proverbs 18:10New International Version (NIV)

¹⁰ The name of the Lord is a fortified tower;

    The righteous run to it and are safe.

All you should understand is that ones you have the joy to honor God, you are a worshipper because you still in the context of seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all other things shall be added.  Matthew 22:37-38 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with your entire mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.
