Lord Teach Us To Worship





One of the prayers that I have said over and over is, God teach me how to worship and teach me to live for you. One of the things that will become evident as you spend time and grow in the Lord is that you learn so many new things. As worshippers we should cry out and ask the Lord that he may teach us to worship but for many people it ends here because they have prayed.

“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded”. James 4:8

The brother of Jesus, James explains to us that as we draw near to the Lord, He will reciprocate because it’s his nature. God is not an unjust God. God desires that we come and search for Him in the process He orders our lives. How many of us run away from those friends of ours who always want something from us and they never reciprocate our gestures?

If we run away from our friends then why do we treat God the same way? Teach me to worship and we do nothing, He will teach me so I don’t have to do anything about it. No we have a part to play as well.

God wants to bless each and every one of us, health and prosperity but we have to live by his conditions. The promises of God are plenty and they require us to walk and live in a certain manner of life. Apostle James shows us when we draw near to God and when we cry to be taught to worship we have to be ready to work. To

·         Cleanse our hands - God can never do it for us we have to the ones that clean our lives. This is a personal thing that we have to set ourselves to do. God directs us do it which means He will not come down to do it for us. We have to leave certain things, people and lifestyles behind us, us and not God.

·         Purify our hearts – this has to be done by us we have to set ourselves to rid of the filth that has filled our hearts and logged GOD out of hearts the only way to change this is through the intake of his word to replace or displace that which has filled our lives. It’s our job to purify to remove all filth and things that moved God out of our hearts.

Yes God loves us with every ounce of our lives but we have to take our hands to the plough and he will meet us halfway. God grants us audience with Him and if we set our hearts to know Him as well, its His promise to all mankind that if we search for Him he will be found.

Praying “Lord teach us to worship” is the start to an awesome journey which start begins with us working on our lives

Worship In The Beauty Of His Holiness

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
