So What You Got Worship Leader

"Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you" Proverbs 1:23 KJV God's heart is always and will always be for the advancement of people and one of the things that will bring advancement in someone life is just the concept of reading and applying the word. Before we can even understand the concept of the word we need to have a personal relationship with the word and truth of God we need to learn to have a relationshipwith the spirit of God, He alone will cause us to know the truth of God written in his word. Jesus said that the spirit will help us to understand and know the truths of God and will bring into remembrance of what we will have learnt. He shall show us how to apply this very word in our lives and He knows how to make the word go alive in us. As worshippers truth is how can you worship a God you do not know and it's when we read the word of God that we find the Holy Spirit expoundi

Worshipping Without Words and Music Part 2

Image
Worship goes beyond songs, words, notes, chords and instruments. Worship means to pay homage, falling before someone feet, glorifying a deity, honor paid to dignity , kind of reverence ascribing worth. Genesis 22:5 that was the first mention of the word Worship in the Bible, it denoted sacrifice and obedience. Worship in today’s ages and to some people means songs and music, that is 3 praise song and 3 worship songs if there are more than 6 songs at your church on Sunday then you are privileged. Some believe doing a bible study and fellowship for them that is the understanding that they have of worship. Worship is a lifestyle and way of life and today I am talking about worship with our works and we look at what the words says about, “ Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven ”, Matthew 5:16    “ But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto

Worshipping Without Words and Music

Image
When one speaks about worship beyond just singing and music, people tend to squirm. The question I kept looking for in the word of God was “is there worship beyond singing and music”. Worship in the word of God is shown that it goes beyond words. Worship  isn't  an act but it so a lifestyle and a daily experience that one lives every day. Our lives are sometimes a mystery but the greatest gift we have been given is worship. Fruit is one way that we can worship without words and the bible declares it very clearly “By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name”. Hebrew 13:15. Our lips have fruit, our words have results. Our lips have produce that is attached to them when we speak. God says in Isaiah my words shall not come back to me void but shall complete everything that I have sent them to do. The words we speak today have fruit, in our mouth there is God ordained power to name and cre

Characteristics Of A Worshipper

Image
Being a child of God and being called a Christian qualifies a person to be a worshipper, whether you have a sweet voice or a horsey voice, whether you can dance or you have CRD (Caucasian Rhythm Disorder) in God’s books you qualify as a worshipper. The name of a person reveals their character and the quality of worship reveals the character of a worshipper . Just like the names of God reveal his character and a worshipper is known his or her character. Characteristics of a Worshipper Brokenness and Humility   “ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise” Psalms 51:17  “The LORD is nigh (near) unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit” Psalms 34:18 “Because your heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heard his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbled thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and

Prepared to Worship

Image
  Always ask yourself am I prepared to Worship God anytime, anyplace, anywhere? When we worship our minds think about God, we offer ourselves to Him our emotions and we open our hearts with our bodies expressing to all this by actions. Which means that worship is not just a mouth but it’s about your spirit, soul and body all focused to lift up his name. If you check yourself and see that you are missing one part then there is something you need to work on. When you are a part of the worship given to God then we have to get prepared for this work all time. Israel was always told in advance to get prepared to the appearance or manifestation of God on the mountain. Their preparation in Exodus 19:10, 14-15 wasn’t just a spiritual act but it was physical act. Israel had 3 big festivals (f east of unleavened bread, the feast of weeks and the feast of tabernacles ) every year which they conducted and honoured of which worship was the central part of it. Worship in Israel wa

Who or What Directs Worship?

Image
The question, Who or what Directs Worship Ever thought of it, Is it the metronome, the beat, kick drum, the singer, the choir  If not then what drives worship  Worship is not about you and your needs, it isn’t about how we feel or have an idea about but it should be a place where God is lifted up the way he wants. Worship was set by God to be a place where we commune with God, enjoy his presence and also to become more like God because when we spent more time in his presence we become more like Him.     “Most of the times we choose the way we want to worship God”. “The key to worshipping God is the God you worship” Pst Bonnie Deushcle “The ways and means of worship depends merely on God’s sovereign pleasure and institution”. Worship should be a way which God’s will is done through your life, it’s not for us worshippers to dictate worship, how it is given and all the other details. We have built worship to match our taste, likes and the way we want to worshi

Worshipping With Jesus

Image
Our lives and worship should be offered though Jesus Christ, He just like the Holy Spirit know how to get into the presence of God and stand with our offering before the father. In our worship let it start from our hearts, with the help of the Holy Spirit through Jesus then will our worship be acceptable before God. “Worship is sealed and concretized by the blood of Jesus” “The worship of God through Jesus Christ lies at the heart of all Christian expressions” Jesus in the Lion of the Tribe of Judah in Hebrew language “Y” and “J” are the same so the root word for Judah is “Yadah”. Yadah is a Greek word which is translated Praise so Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of Praise. Christ is worthy to be praised. So far its theological our heads are spinning now lets turn to what the word say about our worship and Christ.  “For we are the circumcision who worship God in the spirit and rejoice in Christ Jesus” Philippians 3:3 “By Him, then, let us offer the sacrifice of pr

Worship In Truth

Worship In Truth   Truth in the bible has been translated to cover this words firmness, stability, constancy and also faithfulness, honesty, justice and also uprightness “Truth also means being honest with God”. Jesus said the only truth was to be found in God’s word for it is this word that is true. The greatest worshipper on earth is the one who understands and has communion with the word of God. You can’t worship someone you don’t know and the best way to know God is to read and commune with His word. “O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.   Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God Psalms 43:3-4 “Sanctify them in truth, thy Word is truth”, John 17:17. Know who He is and worship Him with revelation,  scripture wonderfully directs and enriches our worship.  Our worship should be directed and guided by the wo

Worshipping From The Heart....

Courtesy : www. topnews.in How We Worship Reason 1 There are so many reason how we worship and I have realised that there are so many of them but if all of our worship isn't based from the heart we are busy self entertaining.  Our bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit and our hearts are the altars of sacrifice. The worship of God starts from the heart. God is not moved by the expressions we do in worship but the heart that is behind the expression just as one man said “true worship is felt inwardly and expressed through actions and expressions. God desires that worship flow from a broken, clean, contrite, open, pure heart has is bent on worshipping God alone. “Worship without the heart becomes stage play” “Rather let your heart be without words than for your words o be without a heart” Matt Redman “Worship is an occupation of the hearts with God Himself not its own needs”. Jesus spoke of the Samaritan woman that it was not place of worship that
