Worship by the Fear of Lord. Part 2




Good Day Worshippers


We are picking up from Part 1 where we spoke the fundamentals of the fear of the Lord and what it’s all about and in this article we finish it off.


So the "fear of the Lord,” is a phrase of the Old Testament which show piety, of which piety means (reverence for or devotion), meaning reverential trust, with hatred of evil. Fear is not something that you wear on and off like a shirt but it’s an attitude that you carry, it is away of life and a lifestyle you live by.


Still many today are persuaded that the word fear really means respect. There is a type of superficial respect to God that does not affect how one lives. “There is that fear that is not coupled with love and trust, and therefore can lead only to terror and despair”, such kind of fear only makes you walk in fright maybe God can strike you by lightning.






It should not be the case in today’s life where we wait for God to do something so that we may reverence Him but to walk in that place knowing who God is and the standard that he carries. Think about how do you worship a great and mighty God with such prejudice and ignorance?






Walking in fear remember its not juts an attitude of deep reverence but also a hatred of evil, worship is a lifestyle lived, a manner of everyday life, which is evidenced as and seen in your life and dealings. Where ever you are worshipping God with your work, dress, life, family, in a prayer meeting, as you walk one must do it with fear, terror, reverence or holy fear in light of who God is.


I strongly believe that the fear of God also opens you up to understand who God is truly, it makes you know the nature of God and it is in that place that you stand and minister to Him. Worshipping in the fear of God is basically carrying a heart and life that lives in reverence, honour, deep respect and awe of God.


Worship is basically glorifying God whether you sing it, live it, dress it or walk it, in whatever manner you offer worship up to God, it should be done in the fear of the Lord.

Hearing God As A Worshipper

Don’t you have those kinds of friends and relatives who tell you amazing stories of their vision with the Lord Jesus or the dreams they had walking with Jesus or people who hear God’s voice and can see God in literary everything they walk in? Even the ones who see God in odd things, colors, incidences and they hear God speaking to them.  You could be like me, I haven’t heard God’s audible voice or see him in a vision or trance, I try and read things and I usually fail and suck at those things. It is then asking the question is how do we hear God’s voice or train my ear to hear God’s voice because we always told God is always speaking we just not listening enough. How many have tried to listen and you heard nothing.  You could be like me, I haven’t heard God’s audible voice or see him in a vision or trance, I try and read things and I usually fail and suck at those things.

Being a child of God and being called a Christian qualifies a person to be a worshipper, whether you have a sweet voice or a horsey voice, whether you can dance or you have CRD (Caucasian Rhythm Disorder) in God’s books you qualify as a worshipper. The name of a person reveals their character and the quality of worship reveals the character of a worshipper . Just like the names of God reveal his character and a worshipper is known his or her character. Characteristics of a Worshipper Brokenness and Humility   “ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise” Psalms 51:17  “The LORD is nigh (near) unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit” Psalms 34:18 “Because your heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heard his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbled thyself before me, and didst rend thy clot...

The Priesthood of A Worshipper Part 2

Caution! The words in this article may offend some people, please take no offence it’s what the bible says and we are just interpreters. Looking at the lives of Old Testament who were sold out, lived their whole lives separated and living their live for the call of God. As you read this, God called you a priest whether you are a worship leader, singer or you don’t have the ability to sing but you are good at SMI (shower ministries international) or may term yourself an ordinary Christian. We are all called to worship, so we are all Priests after the order of the Lion of Judah . “Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads” Ezekiel 44:20 As you read this verse many will tell you that “God looks at the heart”, but reading these chapters of Ezekiel 44, worship is more than just having the  heart. The heart matters a lot in addition to the heart there is also presentation, there is dressing, consecration, our d...
