The holy angels in heaven, who give glory to God day and night, are excellent teachers of praise and our heavenly choir. They have been placed before us to teach us how to worship and sing to God at heavenly standards. They may not instruct us on how to preach, but when it comes to praise, they have lessons for us.
Lesson One: They Cover Themselves
The angels of praise (the Seraphim and Cherubim) use much of their wings to cover themselves from head to foot when standing before God to give Him glory.
Isaiah 6:1-2 (NIV) “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.”
Isaiah 6:1-2 (NIV)
“In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple.
Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.”
This shows that before presenting praise to the Creator of heaven and earth, the first requirement is modesty.
But today, many stand before God in worship and praise with exposed chests, bare backs, uncovered thighs, and even immodestly exposed bodies and women with uncovered heads.
The question is: Who taught them this? Who taught them to worship and praise half-naked? Was it the holy angels of God? The clear answer is no they were taught by Satan. And the one receiving that kind of praise is not the God of heaven but the devil of this world and of the pit.
Lesson Two: They Preach Holiness
The angels of praise in heaven the Seraphim and Cherubim are heard calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy.”
Notice this: they were not declaring to God that He is holy (as if He needed to be informed). No! They were proclaiming to one another, reminding themselves and others that the Lord is holy, and therefore everyone must remain in holiness because God is holy and cannot dwell in impurity.
Isaiah 6:3 (NIV) “And they were calling to one another: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.’”
Isaiah 6:3 (NIV)
“And they were calling to one another: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.’”
This is the unending song of the angels in heaven day and night:
HOLY, HOLY, HOLY!
And this must also be the song of the saints on earth. Not because God needs the information
He is already holy and will remain so forever but because we need to remind ourselves that God is holy, and therefore we must continually pursue holiness. This is the kind of praise that pleases God!
Not singing while living double lives. Not worshiping while committing adultery, idolatry, or other sins.
For the Word of God says:
Hebrews 12:14 (NIV) “Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.”
Hebrews 12:14 (NIV)
“Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.”
Songs or sermons that do not proclaim holiness are nothing but the devil’s slogans, which bring satanic rewards. You don’t have to be a witch to belong to Satan; simply singing for him is enough to make you his. Preaching and praising while living in sin makes you the devil’s servant.
If you have the gift of singing, stop treating it like entertainment or a career brand. The work of God is not a label or brand—it is a ministry. Do not model yourself after worldly artists branded by Satan to carry out his will. Instead, pray for them to be saved rather than imitate them.
If you choose to sing to the Holy One above
Wear proper clothing!
Preach holiness!
Live in holiness!
May the Lord help us!
Maranatha!
