"Now THANKS [be] to God who ALWAYS LEADS us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place."
Thanksgiving and the leading of the Spirit operate together. There is a close relationship between our thanksgiving to God and walking in divine guidance.
The best way to minister to the LORD is in spirit and in truth. Jesus in His teachings to us said that true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth.
John 4:23
But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
What does it mean to worship the Father in spirit ?
1 Corinthians 14:2
For he who SPEAKS IN A TONGUE does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands [him;] however, IN THE SPIRIT HE SPEAKS mysteries.
"...he who speaks in a tongue...in the spirit he speaks..."
When a man speaks in tongues, he is speaking in the spirit.
Since speaking in tongues is speaking in the spirit: therefore,
Praying in tongues is praying in the spirit.
Singing in tongues is singing in the spirit.
And worshipping in tongues is worshipping in the spirit.
Thus to worship God in the spirit means to worship God in tongues.
Receiving and walking in divine guidance is the natural consequence of overflowing in gratitude to God.
So, as we minister to the LORD we enjoy the abundance of divine guidance and as we walk in divine guidance we have more reasons to minister to Him.
There is a continous cycle of ministering to the LORD and walking in divine guidance that compels our lives to move upward and forward.
Shalom
