Declare His Glory Among The Nations, His Marvellous Dees Among All People
He Deserves The Glory
1 CHRONICLES 16:24
“Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.
”I Chronicles 16:24 NKJV

This verse is a clear call to action to share and announce God’s greatness, power, and wonderful deeds to everyone, not just within a closed community or a single nation, but to the entire world.
It comes from a song of thanksgiving delivered by King David when the Ark of the Covenant, the sacred symbol of God’s presence, was finally brought into Jerusalem.
After an earlier attempt to move the Ark went wrong (when Uzzah touched it and died), David took time to do it properly according to God's instructions. Once the Ark was safely placed in its tent in Jerusalem, David appointed Levites to lead a celebration of praise, offering burnt and peace offerings.
The song David sings in 1 Chronicles 16 weaves together passages that later appear in the Book of Psalms, such as Psalm 96 and Psalm 105. It contrasts the living God of Israel with the lifeless, worthless idols of surrounding nations.
The verse acts as an early Old Testament mandate for mission—reminding believers that God's character and salvation are meant to be proclaimed across all cultures and borders.
It encourages people not to keep their faith or gratitude private, but to actively speak about and demonstrate ("declare") the marvelous things God has done in their lives.
Placed right before verse 25, “For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised; He is also to be feared above all gods.”
I Chronicles 16:25 NKJV
It links genuine worship directly to public witness; you tell others about God because you truly recognize how great He is.
All glory be to God forever and ever! Amen.
Please share to our brothers and sisters all around the world.
