Giving is a common and crucial activity that every serious minded believer in Christ should regularly engage in. The wise believer would hear this and flow with it, but those who think they are ‘smart’ will hear and ignore it to their own undoing. Luke 6:38 say that you should give and it shall be given to you. Have you ever asked yourself who benefits when you give to God? Can you make God richer by giving to the owner of the universe? Can you add to the owner of silver and gold by giving to Him? Everything you have, you receive from Him (1st Corinthians 4:7). You are the one who gains from giving to God. When you refuse to give, who loses? The Holy Spirit answers that question in Proverbs 11:24:
“There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.”
If you fail to give, you are the one who loses. Why? Your giving determines how far you go in life. Overflowing abundance is a product of sacrificial giving. If you have been sowing sacrificially to God and His Kingdom but you have not yet reached the level of swimming in abundance, you should be celebrated. Why? It is because you are not likely to die until God pays you back in full. The One who said we should owe no man cannot afford to owe you.

Moreover, when you praise God, who gains? Can your praises add to Him in reality? In Psalm 18:1-3, David said several things about who God was to him. He said God is worthy to be praised, because he realised that when he praised God, he got delivered from his enemies. In other words, refusing to praise God would have resulted in him becoming a casualty in the hands of his enemies. So who loses if you refuse to praise God? Revelation 5:11-13 talks about God’s mass choir in Heaven. It says the size is something like 100 trillion. If God has such a great choir of angels and saved souls worshipping Him, what difference will adding or subtracting your voice from it make? Do you think that God will miss your voice? Therefore, who gains from worshipping and praising God? It is you! Every time God demands that we give something to Him, it is for our own good and not His. Only the fellow who wants to deceive himself or herself will think otherwise.

Psalms 22 vs 3

"But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel."


As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after thee
Thou alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship thee

The Person Above me is Cool...

I think it benefits us not him.

one thing for certain is, the way I worship and believe in God is absolutely different from yours....... and he understands because he created us having various perspective....



just believe he exist and give him all the glory, weather Muslim or Christian

This kind question self

THOSE WHO WORSHIP GOD MUST WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH......
YES, OUR WORSHIP BENEFITS GOD.

Okay

Whatever we do or whatever we don't do affects us not God. God is the constant and we are the variables.

The fact that God cares about being worshiped or believed in even to the extent of threatening to raise stones to do it if humans don't is one of the things that makes me almost entirely certain that he was created by humankind and not the other way around.
Because, of course, human beings do care about having their accomplishments acknowledged. Human beings do want to be worshipped. Human beings do take offense if you don’t show them the reverence they think they deserve. So, when the ancients took a look at their own despotic kings, they thought: “God must be like that, only greater.”

All gods require worship, or they fade away.. . Even the most high talked about raising stones to worship him if we fail to do so, and don't also forget the 24 elders whose sole purpose is to praise and worship God. That should tell you something

Give!
Give what?
Give to who??

A voluntary contribution that comes from my mind, a donation i personaly decide to set aside for furtherance of the "ministry" or a mandatory ten percent of my earning

This question should be the other way round

DOES THE WAY GOD WANTS US TO WORSHIP HIM BENEFITS US?

Christians also say all they'll be doing in their mythical heaven is to keep worshipping god lol; the great Christopher Hitchens calls Christian heaven "Celestial North Korea"

Scammers

It seems our God loves oxymoron and irony..

Only the fellow who wants to deceive himself or herself will think otherwise.

the word or expression for this can only be found in heaven. Our God works in mysterious ways for sure..

Psalm 50:5-15

5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.

6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.

7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.

8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.

9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.

10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.

11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.

12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:

15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

This means God is not with over 100 million Nigerians ! Does Op know how many Nigerians live in poverty ? If over abundance is a sign God is with you - our levels of poverty explain that god has forsaken us ! Christianity - the religion of me , me , me , me , me !

Go ahead and scream to God he cant hear u --2pac

Will your worship do Him any good?

Uyi168:
..U mean christians and muslims worship the same god?

of course yes........

God deos not need our worship every day....

he created us to dominate the world and help our self and make impact in mankind ...but we humans have turn it upside down ....

A

Controversial question
....

No one knows for sure...

Etizz:



of course yes........

You are kidding right?

Your worship neither adds nor take anything from God. He existed before the creation of the world, so what do u possibly think u can give to him?

I dont like reading messages or exposition where 90% of the content has a scripture and it is quoted word for word.
It is very.annoying because I can just get a bible and read from it instead of you copyrighting its content and expect me to appreciate it.
I like christian messages that deals with testimonies and Rhema and personal convictions

God has no need of our worship. Our worship benefits us. St. Augustine said that God has made us for himself and our soul is restless until it finds rest in God. Think of the peace, security, inner freedom, and joy you experience each time you worship God in spirit and in truth. It's in our nature to want to worship God. If God wants us to worship him, it's because God knows it's for our good. In the catholic Church, the common preface of the Eucharistic prayer expresses this well. It says : "You have no need of our praise, yet our desire to thank you is itself your gift. Our prayer of thanksgiving adds nothing to your greatness, but makes us grow in your grace".
When we pray, it's us, not God that benefits.

So its only muslims and christains that acknowlege that God exist?

Is God a tyrant that needs his ego to be massaged?
