Tehillah Worship

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

Attaining or seeing a move of God or the power of God sweeping over all things in our sphere of influence starts with us the Worshippers. It's not someone else job or idea it actually start with us, we are the link to this and the power is then seen when we are corporate agreement to one thing. In our pursuit to see people change, in our pursuit to see the altar of God and the move of God in and amongst the people we serve and lead, we have to come to a place where we know who God is personally and come to a place where we have a resolve that is unshakeable. As worshippers the best way to know the God is by us spending time with the word of God and seeing it become alive in our lives. When we stay in the word we will come up to a place where we meet scriptures like these that say "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it". Isa

Worship is our response to God, when God speaks to us or reveals himself to us our immediate response should be Jon in the most trying time of his life worshipped and then he didn’t hear God but he the declared this scripture when God did not respond to his plea.  “Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD”, Job  1:20-21 Even David when his son with Bathsheba was sick unto death he “arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat”, 2 Samuel 12:20   ·          God is good and God is sovereign ·          When life falls apart are inclination is to blame God ·        

God is calling us to a specific place where we shall live and abide, where we shall get to enjoy his promises and blessings and commanded blessings. Dear friends, let's make a clean break with everything that defiles or distracts us, both within and without. “Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God”. 2 Corinthians 7:1 KJV   Courtesy of  www.wisegeek.com May we choose to remove ourselves from the things that easily entangle us, "Let us cleanse ourselves" this cleansing or detox isn't meant for God. It's meant to be done by us. Take a look at your life. Think of the things that you need to separate yourself from and let’s live Holy for God. Before we can grab ahold of these let's make our entire walk into a place of where we are clean and holy temples for the glory of God. Let us press delete to some of our relationships, ways o

Worship is a relationship between the worshipper and the God who is being worshipped and it requires only a man and God. It’s not about a group, church, congregation or anything its one man and one God, worship is the time that a person has with God. Someone can’t worship on your behalf but only you, you alone can have a relationship with God My Worship is an expression of my relationship with God “Worship is the relationship that touches God’s heart and in turn He infuses our hearts with passion and compassion”. Thomas Jefferson Worship is an invitation from God for man to worship Him, its not just a one way relationship but a two way relationship, its not just mankind loving on God but also God loving on the man. Worship isn’t a slave to master relationship but a relationship between a God and his children with love as the backbone, the focus is to get man to commune with God and enjoy the presence of God. In this relationship God is given pleasure by worship and mankind enj

What moves God is worship. Look in the bible, looks at the stories written about the lives of the men of faith, their lives, their worship and sacrifices then God always responded to their worship. In today worship we now rate and measure God's response according to the number of goose bumps or chicken skin we feel when we are worshipping. What moves God is praise because it’s his very nature  What shakes the foundation of throne room is when men worship Him earnestly. We were created in the presence and likeness of God, every human being was created to worship because that is God’s very nature, Worship. Even Lucifer was created as a being of perfect worship hey say he oozed worship and that shows you that God is all about worship. His likeness is worship; He has no choice but to respond to worship any day any time. “ The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over th

Someone once wrote that or mouths are open sepulchers (tombs), that at times, is proven true by the way we live our lives.  James 3:10 states that, " Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be " I know they are those who were born and bred in the church and haven’t allowed foul things to flow and roll out of their lives but then when you look at the way God created things. Our mouths are instruments of worship just as much as our lives are lived for worship. King David one certified sinner who had a huge heart for God’s ways and truth, once cried out to the Lord in Psalms 51 which was written after he had realized his sin with Bathsheba and he just breaks down before God and he asks " O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise " Psalm 51:15 KJV  May the cry of hearts be nothing else but that our mouth may be vessel and instruments of worship, D

Hosea 4:13 (KJV) They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery. Israel dumped their temple of Yawheh and also Baal shrines and created new ones on the  roof tops of their houses and under trees because they wanted shade. 1. Israel became professional idolators as they mixed with Canaan, they became good at being religious and killing sacrifices just because they wanted a braai.  We have turned to being professional in all we do (its a good thing being pro but not at the expense of God) but are we worshipping professionalism more than the One we meant to serve. 2. They changed their focus of worship for convenience sake. Does that sound like someone you know. Do we worship because it convenient, so i get to be recognized and noticed, or if I don't go to church today and sing for them c

This Article was done by Taka Sande our Guest Blogger talking about Praise When Should We Praise God? ◈ At all times. “I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth” [Psalms 34:1]. ◈ In times of depression. “Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God” [Psalms 42:11] ◈ Among the people. “I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations” [Psalms 57:9]. ◈ All day long. “From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord's name is to be praised” [Psalms 113:3]. “Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day” [Psalms 71:8]. ◈ In everything. “Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” [Eph 5:20]. What Hinders Us From Praising God? There are many reasons why Christians do not praise God. The

The power of praise is a weapon in spiritual warfare. “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds” [2Cor 10:4]. All victories, whether the result is an instan3taneous deliverance from a circumstance or simply strength to endure a long difficult trial, flow from God’s nature and character alone. God’s manifest presence is our victory, and praise makes room for the fullness of his presence. “But thou art holy, O thou that inhabits the praises of Israel” [Psalms 22:3]. If God inhabits our praise then, praising saturates the circumstance with God’s manifest presence. God set up his throne or dwells where his people praise him. We say a herd of cattle, a congregation of Christians, but we say a ‘palace of praise.’ Because it is God’s dwelling place. Satan cannot operate in God’s manifest presence. In 2 Chronicles 5:13-14 during the dedication of the temple, the Israelites praised the Lord such, that the manifest presence of God

This week article was written by our Guest Blogger Taka Sande. . Praise is an expression of admiration and appreciation. When we praise someone we tell Him how wonderful [we think] he is, or how great his accomplishments are. It is the same with God. All true praise has something to do with acknowledging and focusing on God’s nature, character and power. It has elements of complimenting, glorifying, honouring and exalting God. Praise also involves joyful thanking and adoring of God, and celebration of his goodness and grace. To have effective praise we need to understand the attitude of God, the object of our praise. We have to know God. As we praise we focus on God’s; self-sufficiency, eternity, totality, love, presence, greatness, glory, uniqueness, holiness, Excellency, strength, reliability, majesty, creativity, generosity, ability, justice, beauty, kindness, forgiveness, faithfulness, powerfulness, righteousness, mercifulness, joy, stability, wonderfulness, truthfulness, patienc

How is it that we are missing to see the Holy Spirit but on a hot and sunny summer day you can locate even a small cloud that’s miles away even at night we can see a small fire at the top of the mountain we can recognise that fire from kilometres away. So why can we not recognise the Holy Spirit when he moves if he is as big as a cloud and if he is like a fire in night. In their forty years in the wilderness the children of Israel didn’t have a say in the manner in place or position of where the tabernacle was to be placed. And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: Exodus 13:21   So when the pillar of cloud or pillar of fire moved The Levites and Priest would go a three days journey ahead of the camp to set up the tabernacle onto the place where the pillar would stop. How many of us in our worship follow the Holy Spirit where He is going and what He wan

Psalm 51: 15  O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.  Look at your life, take a quick glance on your life. Think about this, what has closed your mouth from declaring the work of the Lord, what has closed praise not to flow out of our lives.  Is it sin, grief, pain, anger towards God, torment, stagnation, tiredness, confusion, wrong words, busyness, jobs, the work of God to many things going on?  Without knowing, praise might have  stopped coming out of your lips, without knowing our mouths are filled with so many other things that have overshadowed the praise of God to stop flowing... Jeremiah 1:9 (KJV) Then the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. Isaiah 6:6-7 (KJV) Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniqui

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.
