Hallelujah....

The word hallelujah is a command to praise the Lord. The word is derived from the Hebrew words hālal and Yah .

Yah is a pronoun for God, a shortened form of Yahweh, which is often translated "LORD."

hālal is a verb that means to praise, to commend, to boast, to shine. The word most often means praise and is associated with the ministry of the Levites who “…were also to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD. They were to do the same in the evening.”(1Ch. 23:30)

The Levitical priests were God praising, worship leaders.

You and I are not Levites, but we too are …. “ are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” (1 Peter 2:9)

We should be God praising, Jesus loving, worship leaders.

And, Jesus Himself said, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. “(Mark 16:15) The Message reads: “Go everywhere and announce the Message of God's good news to one and all.”


Hallelujah. Let’s praise God. And let’s speak His praises to any and every single person whom will listen.
