Fall Prostrate

When you really come into the ambience of God’s glory you will naturally fall prostrate in worship. Examples abound in scriptures of people who saw His glory. Isaiah confessed when he encountered God’s glory that he was inadequate to stand in that awe. In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. Isaiah 6:1, 3, 5 (KJV) Abraham (Genesis 17:3) , Moses and Aaron (Numbers 20:6) , Ezekiel (Ezekiel 3:23), Balaam (Numbers 22:31), Manoah (Judges 13:20), The Angels in Heaven (Revelations 7:11) and the Twenty four Elders (Revelation 11:16) . David, Samson and Gideon too. All these fell face down in the awe of God’s glory. Falling face down is not just a Yoruba culture that depicts honour to fathers, mothers and elders, it is a biblical concept of deep worship. We must NOT get to the point where we have been so elevated that we can not fall prostrate in the presence of the Almighty God. To kneel, lay prostrate or even roll over on the floor with all our heavy regalia is not “old school”. It is a hearts genuine response to the awesome glory of God. Do not get me wrong. To stand lifting holy hands in worship is also great but how do you physically posture yourself as a servant before your master. For we are no longer servants to sin but we are now servants of the heavenly Father and “slaves” to righteousness. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? Romans 6:16 (KJV) Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness . Romans 6:18 (KJV) But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God , ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. Romans 6:22 (KJV) As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. 1 Peter 2:16 (KJV) The greatest status to ever obtain in life is to be called “a servant of God” by God Himself whether you are a Bishop, Apostle or a Church member. Meditate and sing along this song by Dr. Panam Percy Paul: Come let us worship and bow downLet us kneel before the Lord our makerGlorious Splendour and MajestyThou oh Lord are the King of all Creation.For He is our God and we are the sheep of His pastureThou oh Lord are the King of all Creation. Let’s lay prostrate before Him in awe of His glory in worship, not just physically but in heart, soul and mind and do all we can to serve this great God. I love and celebrate you.
