Tehillah Worship

Good Day Worshippers When you lift up your hands and sing a song like God I magnify your name, do you understand what it means. Today we are going to learn what it means to magnify God. "Oh magnify Jehovah with me, and let us exalt his name together". Psalms 34:3 "I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving". Psalms 69:30 "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord". Luke 1:46 Magnify means (a) Increase in size, volume or significance (b) To enlarge beyond bounds (c) amplify When we speak about magnifying God we will be saying God be made bigger in my heart and Spirit, you get to see God in a greater manner because you are allowing Him into our heart with a reason and a willingness. Worship is all about Him and Him alone because He is God and that He is worthy to be God. God does not increase in size when we magnify Him, God is already big and God is everywhere and is that not being big already, Isaiah ...

Good Day Worshippers Our God moves not alone, God lives not alone. God seats on his throne and is surrounded by His presence, glory, power and the angelic. The one thing that attracts God’s attention is the worship that comes from earth, Noah offered a sacrificed that the bible says that God smelt the offering of Noah and made a covenant with Noah. So how does God dwell and be enthroned in the praises.  “But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest (enthroned) the praises of Israel ”. Psalms 22:3  So if you worship God rightfully God descends and is enthroned upon the praises of his people. You know what enthroned means, it means that you place on a crown or it means also to place on a throne. So when you enthrone God with your praises, It is like you are re-enacting the crowing of a king again. You are telling him that He is the Kings of Kings, crowning Him God again. So God is made king by our worship. Jesus in John 12:28 “Father, glorify thy name. Then came t...

Good Day Worshippers When we say that god is Holy what do we mean, Holy means being set apart, sacred, hallowed, it means purity, Godliness and also means absolute perfection. There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. 1 Samuel 2:2 Being holy is facet or an attribute of God, but it carries a lot of who God is, God is hallowed, God is sacred, God is pure (unstained) and God is full of perfection absolute perfection. That is Holy, Look at the verse in 1 Samuel 2:2 God is Holy and there is no other God on earth and heaven who can be or is like him, or even gods which are worshipped by men. Then He comes down to mankind and he says in Leviticus 11:44 “For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy”. Again in Leviticus 19:2 he speaks “Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy”. So God wants us to be Holy as he is Holy. So then what does it mean to be Hol...

Though worship is a command and we were created to worship, I believe that worship is a privilege to mankind as we tend to receive more in worship because man is more blessed by just worshipping God. “Being blessed is a by product of worship not a motivation to worship” “Worship is our giving to God not our getting from God” “Worship is an invitation from God and a blessing to us a great privilege to man” Philippians 3:3 says “For we are the true circumcision who worship in Spirit (worship God by his spirit) and glory in Christ putting no confidence in flesh”. We worship with the Help of Christ according to the verse of Philippians we worship through the Help of Christ. Romans 8:26 says also “Likewise the Spirit also helps us in our infirmities for we do not know how to worship (pray) but the Holy Spirit itself makes intercession for us…” God here teaches us that the Holy Spirit helps us in our worship, when we lift up our hand...

Someone asked is worship truly a sacrifice; I told her that worship is indeed a sacrifice and is also one of the reasons why we worship God and I went on ahead to relate to this article.  “The sacrifice to God is a broken and contrite heart, O God thou wilt not despise” Psalms 51:7  Worship is a sacrifice, it has an aroma, a sacrifice has a scent, men today wear a perfume which goes before them and when they leave their perfume, aroma or sacrifice stay behind and also follows them. So is it with worship.  The scent of worship is what attracts God’s attention to you. Worship has a perfume, It has an aroma, a scent that goes before you and allows you to enter His presence and meet Him face to face. Genesis 8:20-22 Noah built an altar of God, our hearts are altars of God and Noah sacrificed what the bible proclaims to be a “clean animal”. Worship should be done by a clean hands and a pure heart just like Psalms 57 say “Who shall stand on the Holy Hill only He that ...

The question we have been dealing with, in these past few weeks is why we worship God, what is the reason for that which we do worship and today we continue with this question expounding it. We worship God because he is worthy of all praise. “I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised” Psalms 18:3 “He is our praise He is our God” Deuteronomy 10:21 Worthy means  (a) having worth or merit or value;                                 (b) Having qualities or abilities that merit recognition God is already worthy and mighty, that is one thing that is not going to change and there is nothing we can do about it. We worship God to tell him who He is, not that we worship because He has blessed us but that He is worthy. It’s not like God does not have creation to praise Him but we were created for ...

It is in the brokenness of Life that we get to meet God, the meeting ground for God is a broken, dry, thirsty, contrite hearts of people. Look at every man of God in the Bible who made a long lasting impact, they were just living their lives in a state of awe, reverence, respect and brokenness and that is why God met with them. Everyone who worship, desires to meet up with God to see him face to face. Looking at David the sinner, womanizer and killer but God accorded him to be a man after his own heart. It was because he was broken inside and this is what He wrote. "Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean, wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me... The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despi...

Worship is an amazing place to live in it is a different world to the world we live in, it is because worship allows us to get more and more like God when we spend more time with him. It allows us to know God more. So today the question that I pose is Worship more like an alabaster flask or a rose think about it! An alabaster flask is a clay jar that was used to carry oil or perfume but this alabaster flask was crafted by the best craftsmen it was very expensive to buy and so they also started to carry expensive oil or perfume in it. A harlot in the bible came with this alabaster flask before Jesus and poured it on Jesus feet and Judas was not impressed with it. There was only one way to open the alabaster flask it was by breaking the top or the lead and then it would be kept like that. This alabaster flask was very expensive the bible records it to be a year’s earning that were used to buy a jar. A Rose is the most beautiful and ...

Worshippers Worshippers Misguided worship can you handle, if you cannot handle yourself when someone does not thank you for that which you did, what makes you think God can handle it when you offer misguided worship? Just as you get pissed off when men neglect you and abuse you, don’t you think God deserves better treatment than we have given? We have offered misguided worship, worship without direction and full of the wrong roots. Think about it, how many times when you have offered the Creator misguided worship. Misguided means poorly conceived or thought out or wrong in e.g. opinion or judgment this is a dictionary meaning. So misguided worship for example is when you offer God the best of your worship so that he can give He can bless you, that is arm twisting God’s hand basically misguided worship. Misguided worship is when you worship God with wrong motives. Misguided is when you offer worship in the wrong manner, way and some people may get offended when I add this ...

Good Day Worshippers In the passage we will read below David had a desire 2 Chronicles 11: 17-18 David thirsted for the water of the well in Jerusalem, it is the same cry that God has today for his creation. God desires and thirsts for our worship. Can you hear the cry; Oh! That man would give me worship from the well of their hearts. God is not an arrogant, egomaniac, demander and all names we may call him, God is a God, God is worthy our worship and Chronicles say “give unto God worth DUE to his name”. It is because we have been scarce in his presence and he desires to meet us. He desires that we might know him and he would want us to spend time with Him and be more like him as he says “Be Holy as I am Holy”. We no longer have time for God because of our busy schedules, work routines, double shifts, schooling, making money matters, problems and too much entertainment has destroyed our lives that we no longer have time for God anytime we have to find extra time for us to ...

Good Day Worshippers Psalms 23 speaks that God will prepare for you a table in the midst of our enemies and battle raging all around us. Being a Christian means signing up for battles, battles with your mind, problems, situation and forces before your life. Paul and Silas had a battle to fight in their lives when they there where thrown into prison. Take a note of this 1. They were thrown into the prison 2. They were thrown into the inner cell 3. They were guarded with sentries by the door 4. They were placed in chains called stocks on their legs Here was a battle they had just delivered a girl from being held by a demon and now there they are being thrown into prison because of Good deed they had done. It was a battle and war to stay in peace and right thinking some of us in that place, they could have questioned God why us and why why why. We have just delivered your daughter from the stronghold of Satan, this was their war. In Acts 16:25 “But about midni...

This article today is on one of the reason we found in our series on the reasons why we worship God. So here it goes Worship is an attitude of the heart and spirit “God is not moved by the expression we do in worship, God is more interested by the heart behind the worship” “Worship is not all about you and your needs” “Worship is a state and attitude of both heart and spirit” When our hearts and spirit are broken, contrite, and full of adoration we learn to worship from the depths of our lives and God is pleased by such worship. Man was created for worship it is the first thing you subconsciously or consciously just like we were taught to say thank you. When we kneel, clap, sing, jump and kneel are all expressions which the heart is emoting. Worship starts from the heart, worship is about the heart and then the heart expresses this emotion by kneeling, singing, jumping and all sorts of expressions. They are all expressions of the overflow of our hearts to the love o...

Good Day Worshipers Think about it you worship God because you seek revelation is that wrong we say NO. “We cannot truly worship God and remain unchanged” Geoff Bullock “Worship God with revelation, worship without revelation is dull”, Matt Redman God is shrouded in mystery and the only way to get this revelation is by worship. When we worship God with all earnestness and from deep within the recesses of our hearts, we are guaranteed of a meeting with God face to face, it is such worship that will help you to get a hold of God seeing him it is because God manifest himself where he is properly worshipped. The first day of existence for the 24 elders and heavenly host, from the moment they started to worship they had an idea just like the first day you worshipped God when you gave your life to God. It is the more they worshipped that God revealed himself more to them but it was because the worship they offered. Today they will see a di...

Good Day  We are learning the reasons why we worship God and we find out that they are lot of them and today we are learning one more reason why we worship God. “Ascribe to the Lord Glory due to your name. Worship Him in Holy array”. Psalms 29:2 “Ascribe the Glory that is due his name” 1 Chronicles 16:29 “The Lord is the only object or reason for worship”. Unknown Man always looks for a reason why do I do this and what is the use of us doing this. We have just have to learn to worship God with the simple reason that he is God alone, Holy, Mighty. Most of the times men worship God when God has done something in their lives its their reason for worshipping God because He has done something for them or they want something form God. “And he said, blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel”, 1Ki 8:15 this was Solomon’s words as he offered an offering of 1000 bulls before God. People in the Old Testament sacrificed many animals and God was moved by the heart behind the sacrif...

Good Day Worshipers Commanded Worship was a article I wrote and Rock Presely replies me and I found his article amazing that I had to post it, so here it goes. You know, I have a hard time being motivated out of being told that I have to worship God. By that, I mean how many of us have discovered an authentic relationship with the Father because he said so, or we read that it was right. Rather, we have done so because he is our hearts desire and we have experienced his love and mercy. I don't worship God because he says so, but because as was said by Wannabe above, I was made to, and because I know him, I can't really help myself...sometimes. I equate it to this. When I tell my five year old to pick up his toys, he has a choice to be obedient or not. Hopefully he choses to be obedient, and typically he will receive a reward for his actions, but ultimately, as my son, he has to obey his dad. But there are times when he is motivated out of other means, like time...

Good Day Worshippers Why do we Worship is that basis of our discussion, we found out that one of the reason why we do worship God is because we are commanded to worship God. “Thou shall worship the Lord your God and only Him shalt thou serve” Mathew 4:10 “Worship the Lord in Holy Array tremble before the Him all the earth” Psalms 96:9 “The people I formed for myself shall declare my praise”. Isaiah 43:21 “Ascribe (Give) unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness”. 2Chronicles 16:29 Looking at these verses we see that God requires and commands us to worship Him, there are so many scriptures that show forth that worship is a command. As you can see in the scriptures above there is no negotiation or anything like that we were created to bless, love, glorify God with all we have, why did it became a command is because for us to know God intimately the one greatest vehicle he created for us to...

Good Day Worshippers “We were created to worship and it not an option”. “It’s our nature to worship, and if we do not worship God we will find something to worship”, Pst Bonnie Deuschle “The people I formed for myself shall declare my praise”. Isaiah 43:21 There are so many reasons why we worship God and we are going to be taking and breaking some of the major reason found throughout the scriptures and we breakdown so that we may understand God’s original intent. So let dig together and understand such. Of everything that we have in our lives there is that God has given us there is nothing that God requires of us except worship. The prayers we pray, the fast we and do the offerings we give don’t change God they only change and bring me the offerer closer to God, He only requires worship because it draws us closer to him. Worship is like a reflex muscle in our body, it’s in embedded in us and we were created with such a make to give God glory and worship. Just take a look at...

“That which consumes the total energies of Heaven should be the perfect template for the earth to emulate” Author Unknown Why did God create worship is the question? God is surrounded by worship in heaven, on his throne there is a 24hour worship services that has been perpetually ongoing. Why did God fill heaven with worship it is because it glorifies him and it brings him pleasure? “For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation”. Psalms 149:4 The heavenly realm worship God from a point and a level where they are servants, angel and seraphims, worship as servants worship as servants but God not for us to enjoy worship but he created or extended worship to mankind for it to be a vehicle which is to carry mankind to a certain destination. That certain destination is the presence of God and God wants mankind to enjoy his presence not the worship. God receives Glory and pleasure and we stand to be in his presence enjoying Him and his presence...

Good Day “ 1 Early in the morning Joshua and all the Israelites set out from Shittim and went to the Jordan, where they camped before crossing over. 2 After three days the officers went throughout the camp, 3 giving orders to the people: "When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests, who are Levites, carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it. 4 Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before. But keep a distance of about a thousand yards between you and the ark; do not go near it." Joshua 3:1-4 Worship is all about the world of giving glory to God and it’s done in that Spirit and if it is done in the spirit it changes the whole outlook of glorifying God. The spirit is there to lead us to worship him at his throne. The Israelites were told that the when you see the Ark of Covenant move you are to move with it, they had to pack their tents, bags, food and all their good s and follow the ...
