CSW have given you the masculine, I'll tell you what they're good for-
Nominative- when the word is the subject of a sentence (Active voice: God made man, Passive voice: God had been worshipped by man.)
Genetive- possessive (Voice of God, God's voice.)
Dative/ablative (it's been a while, I confuse these two)- Manner/method and ????? (By God/with God. If "By the will of God", "will" would be Dative(ablative?) & "God" genetive)
Accusative- Direct object, receiving a transitive verb (He praised God)

Dative is indirect object. Ablatives take most prepositions, but not all. A few go to accusative and very few go to dative.
