Reason Why We Worship

Image
People never think of this Why was I created? We don’t know and we do not care to understand why. The bible tells us the reasons why we were created and how we were created by God. Genesis tells us that we “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion”. Gen 1:28 but in the bible do we not find any other purpose than worship which is a command from God wished it had been made part of the 10 Commandments. “The people which I formed (to form, fashioned, framed) for myself, that they might set forth (to count, recount, relate, show forth, declare, herald) my praise”, Isaiah 43:21. We were created to praise the Lord, God fashioned and made mankind to worship not because He is self seeking, self conceited or egotistic God who has a low self esteem. Think of it then and ask yourself why does God require our worship? When Lucifer was cast down from heaven he was the chief worship leader in hea

This week’s post is based on a song sung by Travis Greene on his album “Stretching Out” called “All the Glory” for days I listened to no other song only this specific song. I know it the song and also the lyrics they explained a lot of things about worship and I know it will reveal a lot to you as well, study them and I know you will get learn truth about Worship as well. Verse 1 These hands were made to stretch for you This heart you gave me is in love with you My mouth was made to sing for you So I am going to sing to you a new song These feet were made to chase after you This mind you gave me is in awe in you My life was made to live for you So I will live for you Vamp My worship is pure it belongs to you Lord You are the One I adore Your love is to die for So I will worship Chorus With my hands lifted Eye to the sky And my mouth shouting loud Open up wide Verse 2 These ears were made to hear yr voice Freewill you gave me but

Prepared to Meet Him, Be Prepared to Worship

Prepared to Meet Him, Be Prepared to Worship “Success is when opportunity meets preparedness”, I have realized this is true for worship as well, those that meet with God are the prepared ones. During the time of the exodus of the Israelites in wilderness every time they were told by Moses that God was coming to meet with them, they prepared themselves in Exodus 19:10-11 “And Jehovah said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to-day and to-morrow, and let them wash their garments , and be ready against the third day; for the third day Jehovah will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai”. The bible uses the word “sanctify” which means appoint, bid, consecrate, dedicate, defile, hallow, holy keep, prepare, proclaim and purify. Those that meet the Maker are the prepared or sanctified ones, some will also say there is grace but when you think about it, when we live our lives in sin and we then expect grace to kick in the last minute because

An Old Story About Worship

There was a child in a certain country and he got born again and with time God’s call grew so strong upon this now 14 year old about worship. He had an encounter with Jesus and the words that Jesus kept repeating to this young man were about worship, worship me’ Jesus said His words to the young man were all about worship. In the morning he started the biggest search of his life, he started with his school teacher, school dean, parents and even scheduled a meeting with the pastor on the weekend. At the end of it all he was not satisfied and one day sitting in the library he found an old brown tattered book at the back of the shelf and he started too read the book which started on page 14 and started to talk about words that are used in worship such a hallelujah, amen, maranatha, hosanna. When I found the story I just knew I had to share what that book spoke about and here it goes, it explained it word in detail and its origins. Hallelujah Is a worship expression which means “P
