Worship Is An Avowal and A Statement


Avowal Is a public statement that something is true, a declaration, worship is a public statement. It is our declaration of our love for God. Worship is our public display of affection (P.O.D). It is our way to show the world and the generations living and yet to live that we worship God. Avowal is our public statement of faith.

“One generation shall praise your work to another and shall declare our mighty acts” Psalms 148:4

Worship is a place to proclaim and declare the greatness of God over the earth and over our life. Worship is proclaiming, acknowledging, confessing, testifying, attributing and recognising God’s name as King and God to ourselves and generations.

This avowal is not just a statement with strong emphasis but is a word with its strong emphasis based upon reverencing God for who He is. It is not just saying I believe God but that I believe God and revere who He is in my life.

One way too display our avowal is written in Hebrews 13:15 that “the fruit of lips acknowledge (worship) His name”. The work of my hands the fruit of my lips shall declare that I am taken by God, that I love God on its own that is worship God. Look at Daniel bowing and praying to God three times a day with his windows open towards the east. That was a strong avowal which speaks volumes to God. So avowal is not just a public statement, it is also reverence. It is not just a statement or a reverence you carry towards God, it is a lifestyle, it is the work of our hands and the work of our mouth giving God glory always.

So worship is our avowal our manner of life declaring that God is God. You know St Francis of Assisi said go into all the world and preach the gospel and if you must, use words. Today I say go into the entire world and worship God everywhere and if you must stand and sing.

Worship in the Beauty of his Holiness

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.

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...
