HEBREWS 13:15-16
“Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
”Hebrews 13:15-16 NKJV

Because of their witness to the Messiah, these Jews no longer worshiped God with other Jews, and needed to consider praise and acts of service-their sacrifices for God that they could offer anywhere and at anytime.
Praise should not be restricted to once a week in church. Indeed believers should turn their focus toward daily praise-praising God regularly throughout each and every day wherever they are.
And don’t forget to do good and share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Commitment means putting God first, making time for regular prayer, regular study, regular praise with thanksgiving, living in obedience to God, and helping those in need.
This is presenting your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service (ROMANS 12:1).
Jesus died to pay your debt of sin, not so that you can continue in it.
”I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.“
Romans 12:1-8 NKJV
My brethren, yes, it is good to attend church on Sunday, and we must not forsake the assembly of ourselves (HEBREWS 10:25). But you can sing His praises in your homes or in your cars, indeed, you can praise Him from any place at anytime.
Make time for Jesus and praise His Holy name.
Their is power in the name of Jesus.
Power over sickness, addiction, poverty, bondage, and every enemy; sing praises to the Lord with thanksgiving.
My beloved, the old religious church is being dismantled, for the old is passing away.
The new is here, for Jesus time is now and the new wine is poured (JOHN 2:1-11) and the true five fold ministry of Christ is being established throughout the whole body, of which Christ is the head (EPHESIANS 4:11).
But, ”No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, ‘The old is better.’ ”“
Luke 5:36-39 NKJV
My beloved, many religious leaders are trying to hold on to the old, for they believe that the old is better.
But I am here to tell you, that He saved the best until last (JOHN 2:10).
But concluding the religious direction,
“Remember those who rule over you, who have spoken the word of God to you, whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them. We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat. For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp. Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate. Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach. For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come. Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.“
Hebrews 13:7-17 NKJV
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
