Prepared to Worship



 Always ask yourself am I prepared to Worship God anytime, anyplace, anywhere?

When we worship our minds think about God, we offer ourselves to Him our emotions and we open our hearts with our bodies expressing to all this by actions. Which means that worship is not just a mouth but it’s about your spirit, soul and body all focused to lift up his name. If you check yourself and see that you are missing one part then there is something you need to work on.

When you are a part of the worship given to God then we have to get prepared for this work all time. Israel was always told in advance to get prepared to the appearance or manifestation of God on the mountain. Their preparation in Exodus 19:10, 14-15 wasn’t just a spiritual act but it was physical act.

Israel had 3 big festivals (feast of unleavened bread, the feast of weeks and the feast of tabernacles) every year which they conducted and honoured of which worship was the central part of it. Worship in Israel was focused on the temple and the tabernacle and one thing that they had to do was to prepare before they came to the temple, tabernacle or the festival.  Whether they were giving a sacrifice, a love offering, guilt offering or whatever they were giving to God, one thing they did was that they prepared to meet God, do you yourself prepare or live a prepared life.

Charles Swindoll wrote once “We often are so caught up in our activities that we tend to worship our work, work at our play and play at our worship”. We tend just to walk up and just do something we call worship, we now play at our worship. Worship is a lifestyle it’s giving glory to God always and if that’s the case then the question would be how do I prepare.

Be in a place where your heart, mind, spirit and soul are always in check with God, even if you fall you need to pick yourself up again be ready always to meet God. Be ready day in day out 24/7 to forever be always lifting up God in all your ways and work. When you work up in the morning prepare to meet God, it’s not just a spiritual act but it’s also a mental and physical act to stay in a place where you are expectant to be meeting or live with God.

One man once said God is the business of meeting with people and we need to live a life that always in a place of uprightness, believing and trusting that God will meet with us. Is worship is daily experience and lifestyle then we should live our lives separate and clean and be ready to meet our Maker always.


What else can we do in preparation for worship?

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. It is then asking the question is how do we hear God’s voice or train my ear to hear God’s voice becau

What Worship Is All About

Worship is the central part of God and heaven but is the most misunderstood part of human life. Someone once wrote if it’s a pattern of heaven then we should emulate it in our lives but when we look around creation in worshipping but man is walking with worship of self or desire to worship God but do not know why. www.cyberbrethren.com Worship isn’t just an idea, a person, or a thing it is a lifestyle that God has called us to leave. Genesis 1 speaks about the mandate of man multiply, subdue and fill the earth, I’m very curious person God wouldn’t just create us to make children, rule earth and then he has heaven full of multiplies angels, subduing all the three heaven and filling the galaxy and centering everything around worship. Kingdom of God resembles all these mandate of man but they are wrapped around worship, we have received the mandate but we didn’t receive the core of the mandate, Worship “O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise

What is worship?

http://partners.kingdomfaith.com Chad Marriott Posted on: Thursday 15 December 2011 As musical directors at Kingdom Faith Church, Chad Marriott and Pete Norman are passionate about seeing people meet with God through worship and work tirelessly to train up and release others in their musical gifting. This is a transcript of a recent interview with them on the subject of “What is worship?” What is worship? Chad : I would say that worship is what you give out or your heart. It’s your heart expression towards God and that expression is expressed through your lifestyle and basically your relationship with God. And of course we know that people tend to think that worship is just the music side of things, but that is just one of many expressions. So if I was to put it down to one thing I would say worship is your own heart expression towards God. Pete: I would second that and say worship is your lifestyle. Worship is a lifestyle that honours God, in one part, a
