Worshipping Without Words and Music


When one speaks about worship beyond just singing and music, people tend to squirm. The question I kept looking for in the word of God was “is there worship beyond singing and music”. Worship in the word of God is shown that it goes beyond words. Worship isn't an act but it so a lifestyle and a daily experience that one lives every day.

Our lives are sometimes a mystery but the greatest gift we have been given is worship. Fruit is one way that we can worship without words and the bible declares it very clearly “By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name”. Hebrew 13:15. Our lips have fruit, our words have results. Our lips have produce that is attached to them when we speak. God says in Isaiah my words shall not come back to me void but shall complete everything that I have sent them to do.


The words we speak today have fruit, in our mouth there is God ordained power to name and create and God honours what comes out of the lips of a man and this verse declares that the produce or the result of our words should worship God. Look at your life does the fruit of your lips glorify God in any day. I am not asking you so that you may be judgemental on self but do it for evaluation, is the fruit of our lips glorifying God.

Jesus in the book of John in the famous chapter 15 where he talk about us being the vine He says “Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples”. John 15:8. So God is not only worshipped with the fruit of our lips nor by singing, painting, music and dancing alone but also by the fruit that comes forth from our lives.  When men stand and blessed the God because of you, it’s when the work of your hands speak about who God is all about without you saying anything.

“And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might”. Deuteronomy 6:5 it does not just say worship the Lord with all your songs, dances and music, this scripture shows that God can be glorified by the our bodies, soul and spirits,. It’s not just the words we give but the life we live that blessed God also.

Worship isn't an act, it’s not one thing it’s not just the Music, dance, painting, singing and a lifestyle of worship.  Worship Is glorifying God with all we have and all we own, when we come to a place where we say all I am and will be to the glory of God. It’s not about doing worship it’s about your life being the sweet smelling savour to God.

“I would rather my heart be without words than for my words to be without a heart”, Matt Redman. I believe that there is worship beyond words.

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.

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...
