At today’s Warfare Wednesday service, Pastor Femi Paul declared that worship is our weapon for warfare! In this brief but powerful exhortation titled “Devotion to God Through Worship & Service,” he taught that true devotion is more than religious activity; it is a heartfelt, consistent loyalty to God shown through reverence, obedience, and service. Drawing from Philippians 2:20–22 (MSG), PFP described Timothy as “the real thing - a devoted son” who genuinely cared for the things of Christ, not personal gain. Such devotion, he explained, is what God desires from every believer, a life that prioritises Him above all else.

PFP highlighted that devotion is expressed through worship, prayer, and selfless service. It requires yielding one’s time, energy, and resources to God,

not out of duty but out of love. From 1 Timothy 4:8, he reminded us that while physical discipline profits a little, devotion to God pays eternal dividends, bringing blessings in this life and the next. As Isaiah 58:14 (TLB) affirms, those who delight in the Lord will “ride high” and enjoy their full share of covenant blessings. PFP concluded by urging the church to strengthen their devotion - make worship and service not just acts of faith, but weapons of victory that move the hand of God in every battle.

Lord, I choose devotion over distraction. Teach me to serve You faithfully and worship You wholeheartedly. As I delight in You, let me rise higher, walk in victory, and enjoy the fullness of Your blessings. Amen.
