The Spirit: Is Life of a Worshipper

Image
It doesn’t matter what instrument you play or what song you sing or that you stand at the back of the row and people don’t recognize you. The bible says out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks and as a worshipper if your heart and life is full of his spirit then however you minister you minister out the spirit with which you are full off As a worshipper leading a choir or a church into God whatever you condition that you have will be carried into the crowd. If there is lethargy in your spirit that condition is forwarded into the people, you give what you carry.      If we can sing, speak or serve or do all we do by the spirit we are giving God an opportunity to create life because the spirit creates life wherever it goes. Jesus said “the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life”. John 6:63 . If we all our ministry, songs, bible studies, homes are full of the spirit then the life of God is dispensed into people’s lives and situations.

Before Leading Worship Consider These 4 Things..

Being a worship leader I consider it as an amazing responsibility but more as a blessing because you are being entrusted to carry people into his presence and glory. As we carry out this mandate from God one thing becomes eminent is that there are a lot things to consider before, during and after a worship service.   One of those things to really consider is the team you are working with that is a choir, worship team, singers, vocalist, soloists or ministry team.    “ And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah… Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you”…“And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Pr

Chasing After The Lord In Worship

In Judges 13 we meet the story of Samson’s birth when an angel came to announce the call of Samson upon Manoah’s wife. The Angel told her she was to conceive and bear a child and no razor would touch his head. She in turn told the Manoah about the visitation. Manoah was absent when the angelic visitation happened to his wife but regardless He chose to entreat (beseech, request for earnestly) God in his own place that the angel visits them again so that they can learn how to rear the child Samson in the manner that he should be brought up. The question is, how many of us are entreating (earnestly searching) the Lord to teach us worship,  Let alone lead us into worship the manner that he desires us to worship. Beyond Sunday are we chasing after God, beyond the four walls of church or mid-week services as worshippers do we have a relationship with the Lord. Worship is a lifestyle and daily experience and I know we are in a world full of things going on, but we need to grow beyond all

What Makes Worship Deep?

Everyone desires to go deeper with the Lord, we experiment with a lot of things, ways, means and all we try to do is take our worship deeper. We try looping songs, we try singing like Hillsong, studying music notes playing like Paul Baloche and we spend all our time practising and sharpening skill. All in the desire to do is to take my worship deeper. “ Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me ”, Psalms 42:7 KJV. One thing I have learnt in these previous years is that depth always follows depth just like in Psalms 42. Have you ever seen people that sing the same song, play like the author but still they will not be able to get to the depth that the author. There is saying “use what you have to get what you don’t have”, when you have nothing you will get nothing. In life you plant a mango tree and you harvest mangoes. Deep calleth unto the deep in you, if the Spirit of God is the depth Depth in your life is
