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 we have a pressing need and we need to get in touch with God. Aren’t we living a lie?

Adam and Eve tried it but it didn’t work, they had an advantage in that God was the one who would come down, “they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.  Genesis 3:8 but they weren’t prepared to meet with God because they had sinned. The point is, all the other days they had sweet fellowship with God because they were prepared to meet with God that they anticipated for the time that they had with God in the garden.

We are putting our hands into the wrong cookie jar if we live as such, banking our lives upon grace and the love of God to cover us.  We are meant to live our lives appointed to bless God, lives that are appointed to live for God, lives that are dedicated to serve God, we need to live our lives purified and clean. The Israelites had to cleanse themselves and also bath and wash their clothes in Exodus 19 so that they could meet with God. What more are we supposed to do today and more so we are not the Israelites?

We are now altars of God which offer continual worship and when we know such we should always be appointed, bid, consecrated, dedicated, undefiled, hallowed, holy, prepared, proclaimed, purified, sanctified to meet and converse with God and have sweet communion with God.

So are you prepared to meet God? So prepare your life

God’s Presence = Worship + Preparedness

  
Just don’t worship but also expect and be prepared to meet God, that is the reason we worship. To meet and converse with God, so worship with such an understanding and meet with your maker and enjoy his presence.

Worship Him 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.

Characteristics Of A Worshipper

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...
