Praise, thanksgiving and worship is one of the most highly misconstrued human activities. With multifarious interpretations, it seems every religion has a unique perspective of worship and in one form or another tries to impose their views, perspectives, doctrinal standings, seminarian views, theological opinions and personal experiences on people. However, without understanding the original purpose, and without a foundation based in truth, worship can be relegated to a downright nugatory custom and an impotent tradition void of value to the worshipper.

True worship is inherent and is a requirement only in kingdoms and it begins by understanding that Jesus is The King and The Lord of the universe and abides in the consciousness that Jesus did not come to earth to bring a religion called Christianity because Mankind never lost a religion. He came to earth to restore The Kingdom of Heaven or the government of Heaven hence the laws, values, society, culture and economy of Heaven on earth. He came to restore and place the colony of earth under the influence of The Kingdom of Heaven and in the dominion of its rightful owners, Mankind.

In essence, of all the planets God created, He chose earth as the one His children would rule as lords and kings. The term ‘lord’ is in reference to Man’s ownership rights over the planet earth and the term king is in reference to our legal right to control and exercise authority as masters over the domain of earth. For this reason, the term ”King of kings” refers to God being the ultimate King over the Kingdom of Heaven where He has ultimate dominion, and the earth He created and sent His children to rule as kings just as He rules in Heaven. The term “Lord of lords” refers to Jesus’ ownership by creative rights over the earth He created and gave Mankind ownership rights as legal custodians.

It is abiding in this truth that Jesus is the Lord and King who came to earth to redeem and restore you to your original position as lord and king over the entire planet that empowers you to abide in continuous worship. In fact, when you abide in this revelation of kingdom worship, you also understand that wherever you are as a son and hence heir of God, the Kingdom of God or Heaven’s influence has come to that place. To that end, and as expressed by the x-rays for this book, sons of God who are filled and led by His Spirit ceaselessly praise and worship their Father and manifest this truth by taking dominion and recreating the world of Heaven in their assigned spheres of domain through serving their gift to humanity.

In this book, “A true leader abides in praise and worship,” Nya’ describes how a true leader, because of his abiding revelation of the Kingdom of God now on earth, naturally embraces praise and worship as an ineffable honor, a privilege and a wonder. As the x-rays selected for this book will also testify, true Kingdom praise and worship is not accomplished in a given position, nor is it consummated by performing a list of requirements and fulfilling an inventory of rituals. It is the distinguished manner of living for a son (offspring) of God who abides in the consciousness that he was restored to his primordial position of dominion on earth in order to prove, proclaim and testify with incontrovertible proofs that the ideal government every human is desperately seeking for is now on earth; and that is The Kingdom of God in The Holy Spirit.

While thanksgiving is appreciating God for what He has done and by so doing reminding him of what remains to be done, praise is celebrating God for who He is, essentially His perfect nature, infallible character, steadfast love, immeasurable grace, ineffable mercy and inestimable goodness. Praise is a daring and bodacious force that swallows up the enemy sent to destroy sons of God or any human being who is filled and is led by the invisible Spirit of God who is also the author, underwriter and guarantor of every human being’s assignment, The Holy Spirit. In essence, praise is the power which splits boulders blocking the course to your glorious destiny as a son of God and the force that empowers your faith in Him to deliver.

Defined as an attitude of the heart, worship goes way beyond song books and soars deep inside you until it springs forth from the depths of your soul and begins to paint a portrait of what the King of kings and Lord of lords means to you. Also defined as the permanent lifestyle of dedicated ambassadors of Christ who are also His servants, ministers in His cabinet and joint heirs with their Father’s first begotten Son, Jesus, worship always extends outside the walls of the church building because it is an act and demonstration of love, and unequivocal evidence of the Kingdom of God now on earth. As cited through the artist’s quotes and x-rays selected for this book, sons of God worship when they partner their gifts and take the lead in rebuilding the old wastes in their communities and repairing the corrupted structures and broken systems in their respective cities and nations.
