Day 95 is a Psalm 95 day. In Psalm 95, we are called to magnify Him. Six times we are summoned to worship God. Psalm 95:1-2,6 says,
[1] Oh come, LET US sing to the LORD!
LET US shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
[2] LET US come before His presence with thanksgiving;
LET US shout joyfully to Him with psalms.
[6] Oh come, LET US worship and bow down;
LET US kneel before the LORD our Maker.
Psalm 95:3-5, 7 tells us six reasons we are to sing to Him:
1. [3] For the LORD is the great God, And the great King above all gods.
2. [4] In His hand are the deep places of the earth;
3. The heights of the hills are His also.
4. [5] The sea is His, for He made it;
5. And His hands formed the dry land.
6. [7] For He is our God, And we are the people of His pasture, And the sheep of His hand.
Psalm 95:7-11 gives the practical implication of the Lordship of our God.
[7] … Today, if you will hear His voice: [8] “Do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, As in the day of trial in the wilderness, [9] When your fathers tested Me; They tried Me, though they saw My work. [10] For forty years I was grieved with that generation, And said, ‘It is a people who go astray in their hearts, And they do not know My ways.’ [11] So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest.’”
DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. Today, decree the downfall of the wicked and the lifting and establishment of the just. Today, prophesy an end to something in your life, family, business, community, and nation. Today, raise your voice against wickedness and oppression wherever it is found. Prophesy! Prophesy!! Prophesy!!! Today, also pray to be more sensitive in the spirit; to pick up necessary signals that would help you triumph over the enemy and keep darkness away. Today, pray to be delivered from falling into temptation. Pray to be preoccupied with the person of God; and to be focused on His mandate and His revealed purpose for your life. Be careful to weigh every decision in light of God’s purpose for your life; and God’s purpose for the time. Today, proclaim an end to woes and declare the dawn of a new day. Today, we owe it to our Maker to sing to Him and to obey Him.
