For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised.
-Psalms 96:4

This is to mean that only one Jehovah is the worthy of praise above all gods
and remaining gods are not deserving to be praised.

Why should one praise only Jehovah?

Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised and his greatness
is unsearchable. -Psalms 145:3

Why not the other gods worthy of worship?

...Worship him, all ye gods -Psalms 97:7

As a matter of fact we cannot find a small instance in throughout the Bible that
the prophets, holy persons and judges who were the so-called gods, to have
ordered their people that they should worship them. But they have ordered that
they should worship only one Jehovah. If this be the case how can the others
become worthy of worship except one Jehovah?

Why this greatness is reserved for him only?

1. The Almighty God

And God spake unto Moses and said unto him I am the
Lord and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac and unto
Jacob, by the name of God Almighty -Exodus 6:2-3

This is to mean as saying that except one Jehovah remaining all gods are not
as capable as Jehovah; Even if they possess any power to perform any miracle it
also had been given by God but they did not have the self acquired power.

There is none like him.
2. The proclamation of Jehovah:

I am God and ther is none like me. -Isaiah 46:9

To whom will ye liken me and make me equal and compare
me that we may be like? -Isaiah 46:5

The proclamation of Prophets:

There is no God like thee. -I Kings 8:23

To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye
compare unto him? -Isaiah 40:18

Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God; for there is none
like thee, neither is there any god beside thee.
-2 Samuel 7:22
On examination of the above references it is evident that only one Jehovah is
worthy of worship and praises because He is not just as the so-called gods. That
is why He himself questions that who are equel with ?Him and like Him? and the
prophets who are the so-called gods, made clear that only one Jehovah is the
great God and there is none like Him and non is equal to Him. So in no way can
we imagine any one of them as superior as Jehovah and hence we should recognise
Him alone as superior One, above all of them and worship Him only.

Who is the great God?

The proclamation of so-called gods:
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised and his greatness
is unsearchable. -Psalms 145:3

For the Lord your God is God of gods...-Deuteronomy 10:17

Thou shalt not be affrighted at them for the Lord thy God
is among you a mighty God and terrible.-deuteronomy 7:21

Who is so great a God as our God! -Psalms 77:13

The proclamation of Jesus:

And ye shall be the children of the highest. -Luke 6:35

My Father, which gave them me is greater than all.
-John 10:29

For my Father is greater than all. -John 14:28

The proclamation of Paul:

One God and Father of all who is above all...
-Ephesians 4:6

All these attributes such as have been mentioned in the above verses viz.
‘Great’, ‘highest’, ‘Almighty’, ‘God of gods’ and ‘above all’ are referred to which
God? Undoubtedly they are meant only for Jehovah but to none else. Therefore
keeping in view of these all charecterestic features one can understand obviously
that one should not declare to any other as the true God except one Jehovah.
What type of belief a devotee should

proclaim towards Jehovah?

Lord God of Israel there is no God like thee in heaven
above or on earth beneath... -I kings 8:23

Is not Jehovah the God in both
old and new Testaments?

Before me there was no God formed neither shall there be
after me -Isaiah 43:10

This means Jehovah is the only God in all ages both of past, presant and
future. Observe the holy statements as regards to this in the following.

Hast thou not know? hast thou not heard that the everlasting
God the Lord the Creator of the ends of the earth...-Isaiah 40:28

From the above one can notice distinctly that only one Jehovah has reserved
the special attribute for Him that He is the only 'everlasting God', it means rest are
all only temporary gods who survaive on the mercy of God as submissive servants.
So the wise persons always depend only on the everlasting God.

Trust ye in the Lord for ever I for in the Lord Jehovah is
everlasting strength -Isaiah 26:4

This is to mean that apart from one Jehovah we should not trust in any one as
God in any age because only Jehovah is the God in all ages.

To whom should one pray?

The prayer of Abraham:
And Abraham planted a grove in beer-sheba and called there
on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God -Genesis 21:33

The above event had taken place in the times of old Testament, wherein
Abraham prayed only Jehovah. Right from the time of Abraham to whom the all
prophets and holy persons and all believers had been praying? To know the answer
for this question observe the following references from Bible.

Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish's belly. -Johah 2:1

And he went out from Pharaoh and intreated the Lord. -Exodus 10:18

Thus we can find the people of old Testament to have prayed only Jehovah.
