That Altar of Worship



An altar is a place of sacrifice, a place where divinity met with man and it’s the place where God still meets mankind. Altars are not just an Old Testament thing but all of us have our place of sacrifice that’s our altar right there. We are not talking of the pulpit area in your church, the stage or the front where the choir sings from.


An altar is not picked up on the floor like a coin which you have dropped and altar has to be built from scratch with the blueprint from God. Every time the patriarchs build an altar and sacrificed on that altar God responded and met them on the very same place.


Yes we no longer kill animals these days but we have been made the temple of the most high
“And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them”. Exodus 25:8 KJV and then Hebrews 8:2 KJV says “…the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man”.



God desires that He, be a huge part of our lives and may we also reciprocate such a heart by the way we offer ourselves to him. Christ came to the earth to tear the veil into two and make sure that he stops all blood sacrifice. Christ came that the altar of worship may be moved from Jerusalem and then be built into people’s hearts.


All Jesus came to do was to assert himself as the chief cornerstone, all he desires to be is to be the foundation upon which our altar of worship is built. God always manifested himself on every altar look at Abraham, Moses, Aaron, Jacob, Zachariah or even Nadab and Abihu who were killed for offering sacrifice at the altar.

God after giving Moses the Ten Commandments he says in Exodus 20:24 “An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me … where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee. God intention for the altar is that He meets with us and spends time with us


Will you build an altar for your life, family and church?


Will you refurbish the broken down altars for his glory


God wants to meet us, may he find us offering him Worship.

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 daily

Worship and Spiritual Warfare Part 2

In Part 1 of this series Worship and Spiritual Warfare we dealt with the power of worship and its effect in spiritual.  Warfare is effected when God unleashes his power upon us as we worship him in earnestness and with a heart to lift him up, that he falls upon a church, gathering, crusade, team or a cell meeting, wherever God is called He comes and dwells. “When I am lifted up I will draw man unto me” and I inhabit the praises of my people. We know that when you lift up God what happens is that he draws us into his power and anointing then darkness falls away. “But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia…. Then said he, knowest thou for what cause I come to thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come. But I will show thee that which is noted in the scripture of
