Why Worship Wars Wont Work



We are busy killing each other in the churches which type of worship or music should be the one that is acceptable and does it fit the right in to the doctrine of the church and the founding fathers of the ministry. I have realized that God receives all offering and sacrifices but what is important is does your sacrifice bring glory to God?

Instead of us fighting and causing churches to split because we are not agreeing with everyone why can’t we not spend our time in asking the Lord the manner in which He wants us to worship him. We all cannot be like Hillsong, the huge Mississippi Mass Choir or Planet Shakers or Donnie Mclurkin but one thing that’s for sure is that we should strive to bring glory to the Lord. Remember what we want is not what God wants.

“This is the thing which the LORD commanded that ye should do: and the glory of the LORD shall appear unto you”, Leviticus 9:6. It’s not about fighting which genre of music should accompany our worship but the focus of our lives should be what causes the glory of the Lord to appear?

God is a big God and he is not confined to a sound or to genre of music or order of service. One thing that stands out in all this is that our worship is like filthy rags before him but he chooses to honour and be glad to receive. So what I think he will receive is not what he will receive so let us work on having  a relationship with the Lord more than we spend time trying to show each other the right thing when we don’t have a relationship with him

I believe every church or ministry has a mandate from the Lord and the mandate and the message of that house should be the one that becomes the backbone of that church. If the way you worship works for you then don’t comment or bring down those who use a different style and method.

Instead of us criticizing each other why not pray for each other that we walk in the understanding of worship, it’s not the genre of music or the loudness or subtleness of worship in our church that makes it work. 

Worship Wars wont work because worship is only received and should be judged by God, He alone has the ability to choose what he likes and not us fighting over what we think is and isn’t, what he will like or not.

May we bring people to the doorstep of his glory and focus on that, may our energy be spent on chasing after him and his presence for His people. May our lives be a place where He manifests Himself daily.

 “Worship Him In The Beauty of His Holiness”

Hearing God As A Worshipper

Image
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.

Preparing For The Move Of God - Purity

Image
So many times we are so concerned and worried about how we sound and how we are being seen, the image of our lives, how PC (Politically Correct) we are. We are concerned about our image, how deep people think we are, what will people say after we leave the room or we lead worship on Sunday. We try our best to use the music, clothes, our voice to try and portray how deep and awesome we are in life. When you look back at the end of the day what is important is that have we stood in our place and allowed or facilitated God  to meet men and men to meet God. We want things to happen when we pray and when we lead worship, or when we do that solo or that special in church or at an outreach. Impact starts with us, individually as Worshippers and one of the things that causes us to see things happen in our lives is when we allow the word of a God to purify and clean us. Just like in Psalms 12: 6-7 which says "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth,...

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...
