GOD REIGNS FOREVER

"The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof." — Psalm 97:1 (KJV)

The reign of God is an unchanging truth that anchors our faith and fuels our worship. Whether in moments of victory or in seasons of trial, God is still on the throne — reigning forever.

When you know this truth deep in your heart, you will always rejoice in worship, regardless of what you face. You will exalt God as Lord over every circumstance because no situation has the power to dethrone Him.

1. Trials Do Not Dethrone God — Worship Him Anyway

"Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines... Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation." — Habakkuk 3:17-18 (NKJV)

Even when life looks contrary, God reigns. Your trial has not dethroned Him.

2. Trials Are Tests to Refine Your Faith and Worship

"In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ." — 1 Peter 1:6-7 (NKJV)

God uses trials to refine our faith and deepen our worship.

3. Trials Are Opportunities to Defy the Enemy’s Plan to Steal Your Worship

"Does Job fear God for nothing?... Stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face!" — Job 1:9-11 (NKJV)

"For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." — 2 Corinthians 4:17 (NKJV)

Your trial is a battleground for worship. Worship boldly because God reigns forever!

4. Worship in the Midst of Trials Invites God’s Intervention

"But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God... and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed." — Acts 16:25-26 (NKJV)

Worship shifts the atmosphere and invites God’s power.

5. God Reigns — Let It Fuel Your Joyful Worship

"Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!" — Philippians 4:4 (NKJV)

His reign gives us reason to rejoice at all times!

6. God's Reign Becomes Personal to You When You Belong to Him

Though God reigns over all creation, those who believe in Jesus Christ experience the blessings of His reign personally.

"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name." — John 1:12 (NKJV)

When you belong to God, you can face every trial with confidence because the King of kings is for you.

"If God is for us, who can be against us?" — Romans 8:31 (NKJV)

If you haven't made Jesus Lord of your life, today is the day to surrender and live under His gracious reign.

Conclusion: Worship Because He Reigns

Your trial has not dethroned God. Worship Him because He reigns!

Reflection Questions:

  • What trial challenges your worship today?
  • How can you choose to worship God as King over it?
  • What scriptures remind you that God is still on His throne?

Prayer:
Lord, You reign forever. No circumstance can dethrone You. I choose to worship You. Reign over my life and reveal Your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Giving That Honors God

Giving That Honors God Restoring the Biblical Priority of Caring for the Poor Rediscovering God's Heart Through Our Offerings - By Nicholas Uanikhoba Introduction: A Call for Scriptural Balance In many churches today, teachings on giving often focus on ideas like “sowing into ministries” or planting “seeds of faith.” Yet these messages can easily become detached from the real and immediate needs of the poor. While it’s entirely biblical to support ministries, it’s troubling that giving to the poor — which Scripture so directly connects to the heart of God — is often neglected. The Apostle Paul provides a much-needed corrective. Contrary to popular belief, many of Paul’s teachings on generosity — especially in 2 Corinthians chapters 8 and 9 — were not about funding his own ministry, but rather about raising relief for suffering believers, particularly those in Jerusalem. Understanding these texts in their original context brings us back to the biblical center. 1. Paul’s Com...

Spiritual Etiology: Tracing the Root of Bitterness

Spiritual Etiology: Tracing the Root of Bitterness Uncovering the Hidden Cause of Division and Defilement By Nicholas Uanikhoba “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled.” – Hebrews 12:14, 15 (NKJV) What Is Spiritual Etiology? In medicine, etiology is all about tracing where a disease started. Now, imagine looking at our spiritual lives the same way—tracking down the roots of inner and relational struggles. Bitterness isn’t just a fleeting emotion. Scripture describes it as a root—hidden, slow-growing, but eventually powerful enough to wreak serious havoc. Like any root, it does its damage underground before its effects ever surface. And when it does, it brings conflict, chaos, and even spiritual contamination. That’s the essence of spiritual etiology: peeling back the layers to find whe...
