Psalm Chapter 99 KJV
King James Version, Holy Bible
1 The Lord reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.
2 The Lord is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.
3 Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.
4 The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
5 Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the Lord, and he answered them.
7 He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.
8 Thou answeredst them, O Lord our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.
9 Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.
Psalm Chapter 99 Devotional: WORSHIP GOD IN HIS HOLY HILL
Thought for the day: It takes the men of holy heart to climb the holy hill of the Lord
Message:
The description of God mentioned in this chapter shows that no man can attain the mountain of the Lord in worship if He has not been cleansed. Right from verse one, we were told that the seat of God is between the Cherubims and His reign makes the earth tremble. These descriptions show that a man with dirty hands is not fit to worship God in His holy mountain.
Here, I remember the response of the Israelites when God asked Moses to bring them to talk to them. See their response
18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.
19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.
Exodus 20:18-20
The voice of the Lord was strange to them because they had not worked with God before, no wonder prayers were not being answered and no wonder people were not experiencing God like before again. No unclean man can attain the presence of God. See the scripture:
Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.
5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved. Psalm 15:1-5
The first requirement of a man that worships God is a man must be of a clean heart and a clean hand. Don’t live as if there is no God. Let your life and your all be committed to God totally.
My Counsel
Ø The hill of the Lord is to them with pure hearts and hands.
Ø You will not be able to attain the fullness of God if you are not ready to surrender the fullness of man.
Declaration
Father, I surrender my life to you that you possess all about me. I choose to stay in your presence in Jesus' name.
