*RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL.*

*WEDNESDAY, 4TH MARCH, 2026.*

*PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME, DSc. DSc. DD.*

*WE DON’T CLAP TO PRAISE GOD.*

*Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice (Psalm 141:2).*

It’s important to understand the spirituality of ministry and the place of music and expressions of worship in the house of God. Clapping, for instance, which many are very used to in church, is neither praise nor worship. While clapping is not wrong, it must be put in its proper place.

Clapping is applause; it’s a sign of approval or excitement. Spiritually, however, it doesn’t equate to praising or worshipping God. You’ve probably heard people say, “Let’s clap for Jesus.” But clapping is not how the Bible teaches us to worship or praise the Lord.

True worship is expressed with words, songs of the Spirit, and the lifting of our hands in reverence to God. For example, we saw from our opening scripture that the lifting of hands is an act of worship recognized in heaven. The New Testament praise and worship is in spirit and truth, as Jesus said the Father desires (John 4:23-24).

When a miracle happens and people clap, they’re not praising God; they’re expressing approval or excitement. The danger is that in doing so, they sometimes neglect to give God the actual worship He deserves as a result of such a miracle. This is why we must be instructed by the Word. Worship must always be rooted in knowledge, not habit.

So, while clapping has its place as a human response to events, true praise and worship must come from your spirit, expressed through your words, songs, the lifting of your hands, and other expressions in worship that the Bible talks about. This is what glorifies the Lord. We may clap in celebration of victories, but that's not praise: *"O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph"* (Psalm 47:1).

*PRAYER*

*Dear Father, thank you for the understanding of true worship and the revelation that we are the true circumcision that worship you in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh. Even now, I worship you from the bottom of my heart, for you’re the only true God, righteous, holy, just, gracious, pure and kind. Thank you for your glory in my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.*

*FURTHER STUDY:*
John 4:23-24 KJV
23. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

*Psalm 63:3-5 NIV*
3. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
4. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.
5. I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

*Psalm 9:1-2 KJV*
1. I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
2. I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

*THE POOR IN SPIRIT*

_Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven_ *(Matthew 5:3)*

When the Lord Jesus said, *“Blessed are the poor in spirit,”* He wasn’t referring to those who lack material possessions. Rather, He meant those who, in their spirits, have given up everything to God. These are people who don't hold anything back in their service of the Lord. You may see them surrounded by abundance, yet in their hearts, they’ve counted those things as nothing. They can give and spend anything for the sake of the Gospel.

The Apostle Paul expressed this in Philippians 3:8 when he said, *“Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord....”* You must come to that point in your life where the only thing that truly matters is the purpose of Christ, His eternal Kingdom, and the advancement of the Gospel of His salvation.

People may see you with beautiful possessions but those things don’t have dominion over you. The Spirit of God can tell you to give everything as an offering, and there’ll be no hesitation or argument. That’s what it means to be poor in spirit; you’ve relinquished ownership of everything to God. You have a heart that’s completely yielded to Him in love. Your satisfaction isn’t in the fleetingpleasures of this world but in Christ alone.

Notice what the Lord said about those who live this way; they’re the ones to whom the Kingdom of heaven belongs. The *“kingdom of heaven”* is the divine order of Christ’s dominion established in the earth. It’s the life and authority of heaven manifested here and now to bless and transform men’s lives. The poor in spirit dispense the glories of the Kingdom and live out heaven’s realities on earth. Hallelujah!

*PRAYER*

_Dear Father, I thank you for bringing me to a place of total submission to your will and purpose. My heart is yielded to you completely; nothing in this world holds my affection above your will. I live only for the purpose of the Gospel, to saturate the world with the Word. I’m a steward of divine treasures, using all that I have for your glory and the expansion of your Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._

*FURTHER STUDY:*

*Philippians 3:7-8* But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. *8* Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

*Matthew 6:19-21* Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: *20* But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: *21* For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. *33* But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
