Tehillah Worship

We stand on the altar of God Sunday in, Sunday out singing about God's faithfulness, grace, power and love but then do you believe in His faithfulness. We stand on the same place and more on Sunday, during midweek services and at practices talking and singing songs we have written or songs we like but do we believe the words we sing but most important do we believe the God we sing about. Do we believe the power of God to show up in your space, time and touch his people or you believe that the Holy Spirit can show up make the church believe you are deep worshippers who brings down the presence of God rather than show and direct that Glory to him. What do you believe in? Do you believe? The ministry you were called into? Do you believe in the words you sing unto God? Do you believe in his power to deliver, heal and bless? Do you believe in God himself? Do you believe in God that he can do what he has planned? " So he fed them according to the

A few weeks ago, we had a bible with my family and we were talking about the presence of God and Psalm 100:4 came to the fold of this debate and this question was asked, "since we are people of the New Testament and also we are in an era of the Holy Spirit. Do we enter into his presence or we live in his presence?     " Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name " Psalm 100:4 KJV In church you will have worship leaders saying “Let Us Enter God Presence”. As a church and as worship leaders do we understand what we say or have we become so accustomed to a notion and understanding which we are not even sure of. 1.       If you say you enter in, it also means you will leave. So if we say that we enter in it means that at the end we will leave or exit the presence of God. As worshippers we don't enter & leave afterwards or do we live in his presence. 2.       Matthew 18:

It’s All In The Past...  Basically modern day worship is what it today because of one man, Kind David. The man whom God considers to be a man after his heart but the very same man was a sinner on a grand level, God looked past that and still loved him.  David was Was born out of wedlock - David wasn't a legitimate child because he wasn't recognized as son by his father Jesse No kingly right - David had no right to the throne he wasn't Jonathan brother or even any Saul's sons. He had no right to be king whatsoever or any birthright No Levitical or priestly background or training. A Shepherd boy - the son of Jesse was a Shepherd and used to start far away from home tending sheep which weren't many.   His brothers say to him “whom have you left with those few sheep” A Cast away from family - his family had no regard for him and they looked down upon him. David slew Goliath, he won battles, became King, won more battles and he organized Israel

So many times we are busy fighting over the way things should be done we are quarreling over the format and manner in which things should be done. At times we are at loggerheads because of content, genre, music instruments, day and time, we forget that it is God who should determine where we stand and who we become. At the other hand we are like the Israelites when they wanted o bring back the ark of the covenant form the hands of the philistine and there at the threshold when the ark stumbled and then Uzzah who was seated driving the ox drawn cart reached out to hold the ark from falling and God struck him dead right there at the spot. King David wasn’t chaffed and went all out at God, even me I was like God what wrong did Uzzah. Reading through a book I learnt that Philistine gods where always carried on a brand new ox drawn cart and Israel wanted to carry the same Philistine (worldly) model to answer a God problem or challenge. King David ordered a search be do
