Tehillah Worship

Good Day Worshippers We are picking up from Part 1 where we spoke the fundamentals of the fear of the Lord and what it’s all about and in this article we finish it off. So the "fear of the Lord,” is a phrase of the Old Testament which show piety, of which piety means (reverence for or devotion), meaning reverential trust, with hatred of evil. Fear is not something that you wear on and off like a shirt but it’s an attitude that you carry, it is away of life and a lifestyle you live by. Still many today are persuaded that the word fear really means respect. There is a type of superficial respect to God that does not affect how one lives. “There is that fear that is not coupled with love and trust, and therefore can lead only to terror and despair”, such kind of fear only makes you walk in fright maybe God can strike you by lightning. It should not be the case in today’s life where we wait for G...

Worshippers Today it’s one of those topics which people do not want to talk about but let us digress it together and we are talking about the fear of the Lord. The words which fear means properly fear, terror, reverence, or holy fear, seen in Psalms 2:11 and fear also means reverence toward God, piety, religion - in which sense it is often used. The "fear of the Lord,” is a phrase of the Old Testament which show piety, of which piety means (reverence for or devotion), meaning reverential trust, with hatred of evil. Dictionary states that fear is a feeling of great worry or anxiety caused by knowledge of danger. “But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple”, Psalms 5:7 A basic interpretation of this verse would be, in a place of fear (reverence, deep, respect, awe,) I will worship you towards your holy temple. What David looks unto is the state in which he approaches God in, deliberately and knowingl...

Good Day Worshippers Holiness and Worship who can comprehend its something we pray so that God may give us the revelation off. “O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness, fear before him, all the earth”, Psalms 96:6. Holiness is the state of being sacred, sanctified, hallowed and it also means purity, Godliness as well as absolute perfection. So how do you worship the Lord in the beauty of his Holiness?   It means you worship or glorify in beauty of his purity, it means you worship the Lord in the beauty of his Godliness; it also means to worship the Lord who is absolute perfection. That is worshipping Him in the beauty of his holiness. So someone will ask this question why do we have to worship God in Holiness, why in Holiness. “Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness” Psalms 97:12 “But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy”....

Avowal Is a public statement that something is true, a declaration, worship is a public statement. It is our declaration of our love for God. Worship is our public display of affection (P.O.D). It is our way to show the world and the generations living and yet to live that we worship God. Avowal is our public statement of faith. “One generation shall praise your work to another and shall declare our mighty acts” Psalms 148:4 Worship is a place to proclaim and declare the greatness of God over the earth and over our life. Worship is proclaiming, acknowledging, confessing, testifying, attributing and recognising God’s name as King and God to ourselves and generations. This avowal is not just a statement with strong emphasis but is a word with its strong emphasis based upon reverencing God for who He is. It is not just saying I believe God but that I believe God and revere who He is in my life. ...

Good Day Worshippers Worship clears, removes and creates a pathway for us to enter into the presence of God. Worship was created as a vehicle to carry us into the presence of God and not for us to worship! The worship but to get us into God’s presence. Worship clears our mind and heart and prepares us for an encounter with God.   Our hearts are like fallow ground and worship acts like the water which saturates the ground or a tractor or plough that prepares the ground for seed. Worship allows us to prepare our lives for us to meet and commune with out father. Worship allows us to refocus and look to God more and more and look less and less from ourselves. Worship clears the way, worship is a spiritual thing and the devil does not like worship at all and he throws so many obstacles and stones on our pathways for us not to worship or distort the worship we give. When we just prostrate our hear...

Good Day Worshippers If we do not see God working in your lives it’s because we are not worshipping aright. We understand that God seats upon the throne and according to Isaiah’s and Ezekiel’s account of his meeting with God … “I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple… And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke”, Isaiah 6: 1-4 “And above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and upon the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. And I saw as the look of glowing brass, as the appearance of fire, within it round about; from the appearance of his loins and upward, and from the appearance of his loins and downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness ro...

Good Day Worshippers How many times have you come into the presence of God filled with filth, dirt, huge dark black cloud hanging over you and you are so down but then you worship  God because he is God you allow him a place o move in your life. Such worship by the time you finish worshipping God you feel very light without a burden and free than the way you came. What would have happened is what one man called the beautiful exchange, God took that which weighed you down and replaced it with his beautiful things. We Worship God because we empty out that which weighs us down and God will replace it with His goodness. It is when you worship out of the overflow of your heart that God touches our hearts and lives in a deeper way it is because we have allowed him to be such to us. Worship allows us to empty out that which we carry and it be replaced with the love and presence of God. It is when we leave ou...

Worship is our grateful and humble response to God, when patriarchs in the bible had an encounter with God their first response of God was to quickly move to worship God as their response. Think about it how do you respond always, when you meet God. “We naturally respond to what we value to the most, Worship is our response to God” “When the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the door of the tent they would rise up and worship every men at his tent door”. Read Exodus 33:10, Exodus 34:8, Judges 7:15. The first thing they would do when hearing the words of God they would bow down or rent their clothes or bow down with their faces to the ground or kneel before God or stand in awe because for them worship was a response they had towards God. Worship is our response both personal and corporately to God. Worship to us is like a reflex action you know how a reflex muscle works and to the people ...

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 ...
