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 through the deserts; his
name is the LORD; exult (worship) before him! Psalms 68:4
“So
I will worship (bless) you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my
hands”, Psalms 63:4
In
all these verses the one thing that does stand out is that I will come before
God will bow down, lift my hands, sing, fall facewards and then we worship. You
see that worship isn’t in bowing but it’s the bowing catapults the worship to
flow from deep within man.
We
have replaced the manner that God desires us to walk in and have taken the word
of the many preachers of this world and we do not even study the word to hear
what the word says about worship and the manner that God desires us to worship
Him as.
Even
King Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face and then he worshipped Daniel, worship
was preceded by falling upon his face. Christians think that if I just lift my
hands, dance, read the bible or sing then I have worshipped God its beyond
that.
When
you look at these verses you will realize that such actions aren’t worship but kneeling, bowing, falling facewards,
dancing are expressions and without a man’s heart, spirit and attitude they are
vague expressions and meaningless before God.
Are
you one of those worshippers who has learnt to make our expressions our worship, we no longer offer our hearts,
mind, attitudes and bodies and now we offer lip services to God which is coated
with expressions without a heart.
I
am reminded of a quotation that says “I would rather that my heart be without
words than my words without a heart; this article’s focus, is that our expressions of worship be a direct
reflection of the condition of our minds, heart and attitude. Let us not
replace our worship with singing, lifting of hands, falling facewards, dancing,
painting or any other worship expressions. Your worship at this place would be
coated by vanity.
It
is when we bow, sing, lift your hands in an attitude and with a heart of
worship that real power is released
from the throne room and the ability for one to commune with God becomes a
reality. God is not looking for stretched hands he wants the one person
stretching the hands whose stretched hands is coated by the heart.
What
is coating your worship your heart or its just lip service.
“Worship
Him In The Beauty Of His Holiness”
