Distractions To Worship

Image
Worship is all about glorifying God, its starts from the heart and it’s expressed through a lot of ways our lives, singing, praying, dancing, a lifestyle and many other ways of expressing it to God. The idea of worship is that one prostrates himself before a superior being with a sense of respect, fear and awe. A lot of times we come before God and we have a certain way we want him to show up and do certain things in our lives and he usually does the opposite, which always leaves us standing in awe of who he is, “this can only be done by God”. There are so many distractions to our worship and here are just a few of them; We aren’t meant to enjoy worship we are meant to enjoy the presence of God. We now Worship, Worship itself we get so lost in the fellowship with other saints, the music, the ambiance and everything else and we loose sight that we are meant to worship God and not the things around us. We come before the Lord, we sing, lift our h

The Role Of The Holy Spirit Part 2

When I discovered my calling in worship I was so hungry and thirsty to know what worship is all about by as I spoke with other worshippers I got frustrated by the answers that they gave to me, because the answers that they have me were merely words and people’s experiences, few where teaching me about the importance of the Holy Spirit in worship It wasn’t to last a few years later that I learnt the work of the Holy Spirit. It’s good to know people’s experiences in worship but do not make them the basis of your understanding of worship. Use the word as your basis to understand worship and its importance. “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth : for he shall not speak of himself ; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come . He shall glorify me : for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you”, John 16:13-14   1.     H e will guide you int

The Role of The Holy Spirit In Worship

The Holy Spirit is part of the Triune being and as the bible says that he was sent to earth so that he may teach us all things and helps us the Greek word for that is “paraclete” which means parallel to, it works parallel with the spirit of a man. Jesus in the book of John “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth : for he shall not speak of himself ; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come . He shall glorify me : for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you”, John 16:13-14  The Holy Spirit is the best gift that God gave to mankind and we should allow him to work within us. The Holy Spirit isn’t an idea He is real and living inside of us, He is our helper and guide. It’s him who opens up our spirit and minds to see more of God, bringing revelation and wisdom in our lives, adorning us with favour and wisdom. To them that know Him they are led by Him  “But God hath revealed

Whats Coating Your Worship! Heart or Vanity

Worship in a basic meaning means to glorify God, give glory to God, to ascribing worth to God. With time we have assumed a revelation of worship passed from people’s experience and opinion and we have made it our own. This I say because the first time I joined a worship team people told me of their experiences in worship and not what the bible say about worship. Worship isn’t kneeling, singing, dancing, painting, wailing, lying prostrate, falling facewards, crying and all other expressions. These expressions help us show God the attitude in our heart and they reflect our hearts. What is coating our worship? “Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him”, Dan 2:46   “O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker [in reverent praise and supplication] ”, Psalms 95:6    “Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides
