Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. (John 15:4-5)

(D-Maub)
Don’t come to close to me homie cause there ain’t no telling,
how long you can last from all this smoke you might be inhaling,
Gotta realize, Cutty on the winner side so I ain’t buying nothing you selling.
So don’t even bother with me
cause I got the Father with me
I’m passing you failing.
Yes i got a lot of passion to go out and testify
about his goodness and his mercy, I can never let it die
and outta me flows living waters I can never let it dry.
Because I know my flesh a mess and it is never satisfied. FIRE!
Simple desires I cannot gratify
because I’m only human will never work as an alibi.
You better believe I’m ready so when it’s time to battle I
come with the holyghost and make sure you hear my battle cry.
Told yall we want stop till you know,
holiness is what we stand for,
you don’t like it I’m not sorry
we holyghost F-I-R-E. FIRE!
I need it want it close to me, Fire
Its raining fire, one touch from Jesus,
and we’re going higher, Higher
Fire
Fire
Holy Ghost Fire
Holy Ghost, Fire
Holy Ghost, Fire
Holy Ghost, Fire
Holy Ghost, Fire
Holy Ghost, Fire
We need it, Fire
We need it, Fire
We need it, fire
We need it, Fire
Holy Ghost, Fire
Holy Ghost, Fire
Holy Ghost, Fire
Holy Ghost, Fire

A house of prayer for all nations
If you have to give a carnival to get people to come to church, then you will have to keep giving carnivals to keep them coming back. (Charles Spurgeon)
The word of the Lord God came to the prophet Isaiah and was thus written:
Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people. (Isaiah 56:7, KJV)
The Church is called to love and serve the Lord. And this is indeed expressed by faith in action. The best way to put faith in action is to worship God in Spirit and in truth. Now the worship of God is a joy to those who believe in him. Yes JOY and not entertainment. Though joy and entertainment might look like good things, the joy of the Lord is holy and the glory is reflected back to God. While in entertainment the emphasis is on self, as in how oneself feels pleasure. In worship your main focus must be to make God happy by your sincere praise.
So if there is sincere praise, would it be possible that there is something known as insincere praise? O yes there is. Insincere praise is when a person who claims to love Jesus doesn’t want to glorify the Lord God and doesn’t want to respect God’s word. The Evil One tries to stop the true praise of God. When he can’t get people to quit coming to church and go into the world for sinning, he tries something else. He tries to get the world into the church. I’m not blaming a particular nation’s Christian worship, though in contemporary culture its become a fad to only make a scapegoat of the worlds most envied country (I need not name it) while blissfully neglecting the mess in one’s own nation.
A very foolish way to worship God is try to ensure that the worship of God must be an entertainment filled event. Worship doesn’t mean that you are competing with the great Mozart himself. You must not lose focus on God at all. Your church might not have its personal Ludwig van Beethoven but that doesn’t mean that you feel upset about your music and try to imitate the self glorifying music of the world. Be happy if you have a good lyricist or a good set of hymns but seek to actually praise God. Don’t worry about the world and what it says. You come to church to praise the Lord and not the world!
In the same light, we need not use the profane elements of the world into singing praises to God. Such worship is not acceptable unto God. Do not believe any lie that says that we are to attract people to church with our singing. Jesus told his disciples to preach the Gospel. He didn’t say that sing some songs and perhaps people will assemble to hear the Gospel. We are called to preach Christ crucified.
For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. (1 Corinthians 1:22-25)
“The devil has seldom done a more clever thing, than hinting to the Church that part of their mission is to provide entertainment for the people, with a view to winning them.” (Charles Spurgeon)
Now don’t get me wrong, I do agree that it’s unwise to sing always on a flat note and with rusty guitar strings. My point is that a worship service is to be a worship service unto God and not for the pleasure of man. To that effect, our main focus is to be Jesus the Son of God in our praise. Give thanks to the Lord God for sending his Holy Spirit to guide us in the truth of God. That’s what the church is about. Not some entertainment center but rather a house of prayer for all nations.
Christ be with you!

Dear brothers and sisters,
When praising God its best that you praise the Lord with full effort. You can experience hows it done on the below video. You might also like to sing praise along with the video, one video at a time. I’ve ensured that the lyrics are included.
Here is another one:
To praise God with full effort you can always try the following tips and principles:
1) Praise God as an expression of your love towards him. Luke 10:27 says that, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind.
2) Praise God because he deserves it. Psalm 150:1-6 says that, Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness! Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals! …
3) Praise him with thanksgiving for your salvation. This way you acknowledge Christ as your savior. Psalm 95:1-11 says that, Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his also. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. …
4) Boast about the goodness of God. Psalm 34:2 says that, My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad. Psalm 103:2 says that, Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.
5) Psalm 22:26 says that, The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek him shall praise the Lord! May your hearts live forever!
6) Be bold to praise God.
7) Praise the Lord freely, of your own free will. True praise must always come from within.
By following these simple and timeless principles you’ll be able to praise God with full effort.
