DANCE AND CELEBRATE BEFORE THE LORD

2 Samuel 6:14,16 Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the LORD with all his might, As the ark of the LORD was entering the City of David, Michal daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, she despised him in her heart. (NIV)

King David so danced before the Lord that his wife Michal despised him. Think about a king dancing so profusely not regarding his crown and the perception of the people with him. That's how a man who is overwhelmed with God's presence, blessings and glory praises God. When you praise God praise Him from your heart, if you are inspired to lift up your hands lift them, if you are inspired to shake your body shake it, if you are inspired to jump and dance do it without regarding the people around and your reputation. 

There is a glory that would come on you that will inspire you to jump, dance and sing to the Lord, don't try to resist such moments. It's a move of the Spirit. 

When David returned home his wife was angry with him for dancing the way he did.
2 Samuel 6:20 When David returned home to bless his household, Michal daughter of Saul came out to meet him and said, "How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, going around half-naked in full view of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow would!"
David's response to her is truth revealed today. It tells us that our worship, singing, dancing and celebration is before the Lord even though we do it among people.
2 Samuel 6:21-22 David said to Michal, "It was before the LORD, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed me ruler over the LORD’s people Israel —I will celebrate before the LORD. I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor."

If dancing and celebrating before the Lord is undignified, then I will become even more undignified as I will dance and celebrate more before the Lord. Those who are careful, trying to be composed when singing to the Lord cannot truly express themselves before the Lord. If the Spirit inspire you to jump then jump, if sing sing, if dance dance, if shout then shout. It might be the very thing of the moment in the spirit. 

Look at how Michal who opposed David from dancing before the Lord ended up.
2 Samuel 6:23 And Michal daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.
You see, there are consequences for resisting or opposing the move of the Spirit in time of worship or praises. 

Miriam the Prophet and the women with her knew what it is to sing and dance before the Lord. 
Exodus 15:20 Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron’s sister, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed her, with timbrels and dancing.

You can dance in the spirit by your spirit, and when that happens you can express it through your physical body by dancing it out outwardly. When God turns your wailing into dancing you can't choose not to dance. Dancing is a sign of victory.
Psalms 30:11 You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,

If God remove your sackcloth and clothes you with joy, would you reject the cloth of joy? In the same way, if God turn your wailing into dancing, would you rather prefer wailing? No! Dance before the Lord even if you look undignified before people. 

CONFESSION

I will sing, shout, dance and celebrate before the Lord who blesses me without ceasing. I will dance gloriously before God even if I look undignified before people. He has turned my wailing into dancing, He removed my sackcloth and clothed with joy. I rejoice, sing and dance before the Lord today and always. Hallelujah!

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 9th MARCH 2024 BE POWER CONSCIOUS Ephesians 1:19-20 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, (NIV) As a Christian you are not without power. If you are not walking in power it might be that you don't know you have power or you don't understand the power or you are not conscious of it. The above Scripture is clear on what it says. It says that God's incomparably great power is for us who believe. And it emphasize that it is the same power God used to raise Christ from the dead. That's interesting! It's important that you understand the power referred here and what it means to you. God's power is not in measure. In other words God doesn't have small and great. The same power with which He created the world is the same that parted the red sea, by i...

DAUGHTER OF JEZEBEL Chapter 2 Episode 2

EPISODE 2 WOLF IN SHEEP SKIN She is the pretender that cannot be caught easily. The daughter of Jezebel is very gentle and appears innocent. She is calm and quiet, and seems submissive. She obeys you and does everything you ask her, she always wants to help. With these she easily win the heart of the man of God.  She is that fellow that springs surprises.  She is very committed and prayerful but if you take her to be your wife you would be amazed that she oppose praying. You say dear "come let's pray together." Then she replies "I am not ready for that at all."   Before now she used to pray alot in church, she was the prayer director. She sings like an Angel but now you never heard her pray or sing at home. Since you got married to her she has been a totally different person from who you know at church. In fact she is the opposite of who you knew her to be. All the good behavior she put up before now and her services at church was only sheep skin on wolf nature....

Chapter 2 ON YOUR WAY TO THE TOP

Chapter two INSPIRATION Another thing you will find on your way to the Top is inspiration. Inspiration means an arousal or being stir up from within to take an action or embark on a course. If you don't have it getting to the Top is impossible. You will rely on inspiration to go higher and higher in life. If you are not inspired or stirred up from within to be about anything don't venture into it, it might fail. If you are not inspired to get to the Top in your endeavor, career or profession you may never get there. Whatever you do and wherever you go never leave inspiration behind, if you do you may get stranded on your way. Inspiration pushes you to continue even inspite of challenges. If everything else leaves you and inspiration stays everything else would come back, because nothing and no one goes far without inspiration. It's just a matter of time they will come back. Your success on your way to the Top is tied to inspiration, you may stop succeeding if you stop being...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 17th AUGUST 2024 HE SATISFIES YOU EARLY Psalms 90:14 Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days! (NKJV) God want you to be established early in life. He doesn't want you behind time or destiny. He takes pleasure when you are ahead not behind in life. He satisfies you early, that means, He makes you success early in life.  There are people who became what God wanted them when they were old. Even though they became it they couldn't do much nor enjoy their days as much as they should.  The resultant effect when He satisfies us early, Moses said "That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!"  God want us to rejoice and be glad all our days. He doesn't want us gloom, sad and unsatisfied through life. You won't be truly joyful and glad when you know what you should be that you haven't.  We know joy is of the Holy Spirit and it is independent of circumstances. But ther...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 9th JUNE 2024 HIS LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE AND REPRESENTATION 2 Corinthians 5:20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. (NIV) An Ambassador means a representative. We are therefore Christ representatives in this world. A representative's job is not to air his ideas and authority or power but to simply convey the message of the one he represents and to do that also in his authority.  We are God's legal representatives; that means He has authorized us to represent him and speak His message. And even more than this is being His representation. Being God's representation means being the express image of His Person, His visibility, His bodily form or being. It simply means God in Person; being God's Person. That's what Jesus was when He walked the earth. Hebrews 1:3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exac...
