Worshipping Without Songs or Instruments or a Dance

For a whole two years we have been learning that worship is all about glorifying God, bringing honour, magnifying God. Worship means to honor God, respect God, to exalt God, to serve, to bless God, to prostrate, to sacrifice or give, to be in submission, to bow down and also to adore. Worship is all about glorifying God that is the simplest definition we can put, but we have seen as well that singing is a form of worship. Singing, dancing and playing instruments is a form of expressing our worship to God.   It is not the whole worship but a form, a way to express our worship to God. In the body of Christ today people believe that the 3 praise and 3 worship songs we sing along on a Sunday service is worship. We are satisfied with just 30 minutes of singing along 6 songs and we say that is worship. Think about this a day has 24 hours and a week has 168 hours, so for the 168 hours in our week we only worship for 30 minutes a week. What will we be giving God for the rest of the

Worship is Dangerous Business Part 2

Think about how do you worship a great and mighty God with such prejudice and ignorance and still expect God to bless you. Worship is indeed dangerous business when offered done wrongly. God has set principles and laws that even He can not break whatever happens, God bless good and when you do wrong, you are forgiven by God but He will allow you to face the consequences of your action. We can’t just do what we feel like and worship him with such pretentious hearts, foul motives, believing we have the right attitude and still expect God to bless us. “And Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord when they offered strange fire before the Lord in the wilderness of Sinai”, Number 3:4 (KJV). Look at it this way these were sons of Aaron, the priest of the highest order at this time but they died before the presence of God because they offered strange worship, either they offered out of ignorance, out of knowing, out of testing God but still they died because they ministered to God the wrong wa

Not everyone will tell you this but Worship is Dangerous Business! Think about how do you worship a great and mighty God with such prejudice and ignorance and still expect God to bless you? How do you stand before a great God drunk and lead worship, how do you stand before Lord of vastness and offer him half baked worship and expect Him to bless you? If you do it the right way, you will be blessed, however, if you do it the wrong way, you will be cursed though God requires not to because God hates the sin not the sinner. How dangerous is that? Its not who you are but it is what you do that makes it dangerous business. Look at Miriam she thought she was doing good keeping the law by speaking against Moses’ wife but in actual fact she was struck with leprosy for doing what speaking against the man of God of which she thought it was right before God’s eyes. How many things did you assume that this is the way God wants us worship Him as such. Very much so often we are like David wh
