Worshipping From The Heart....

Image
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 ...

What Worship Is All About

Image
Worship is the central part of God and heaven but is the most misunderstood part of human life. Someone once wrote if it’s a pattern of heaven then we should emulate it in our lives but when we look around creation in worshipping but man is walking with worship of self or desire to worship God but do not know why. www.cyberbrethren.com Worship isn’t just an idea, a person, or a thing it is a lifestyle that God has called us to leave. Genesis 1 speaks about the mandate of man multiply, subdue and fill the earth, I’m very curious person God wouldn’t just create us to make children, rule earth and then he has heaven full of multiplies angels, subduing all the three heaven and filling the galaxy and centering everything around worship. Kingdom of God resembles all these mandate of man but they are wrapped around worship, we have received the mandate but we didn’t receive the core of the mandate, Worship “O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise...

What is Prophetic Worship?

What is Prophetic Worship? This article was taken from www.janemorin.com with permission. 1 Corinthians 12:28  And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. I’ve been asked this many times by people who do not understand prophetic worship, and by others how they can develop it in their lives.   Prophetic worship is simply to sing, speak or act under the influence of the Holy Spirit.  When one does such, it allows the character of God to come to light in us, and thus draws others to Him.   The fruit of such moments will reveal whether the Word that came forth is of the flesh or of the Spirit, meaning that is was divinely inspired. This is not something that is meant only for the charismatic churches; (though this gift has more freedom to produce fruit in that envi...

Where Does Worship Emanates and Flows From?

Image
Worship Is First Of All Obedience Worship is honouring and magnifying God, it’s not confined to singing and dancing but its worshipping him in everything we do night and day. It’s a lifestyle that is lived not for self but for God. It’s a daily experience, the bible says the fruit of my lips should praise God; my life should worship without words and notes. Genesis 22:5 The principal of first   mention in the bible carries a lot of weight and in this passage of scripture w find that Abraham said to his man wait here. The passage of scripture speaks of obedience and sacrifice. Abraham didn’t have any music but he worshipped the Lord, he did not have dancers or anything else except wood, fire and his son as a sacrifice. Worship to Abraham, Noah, Jacob, Job, Isaac, Abel and Cain and all who lived before the time of Exodus wasn’t glitz and glamour, microphones, canvas, instruments, preaching bible reading or teaching to them worship was obedience and was expressed throu...

How Do You Worship With Reverence!

Image
Reverence comes from a primitive root which means to fear; causatively to frighten: affright, be (make) afraid, dreadful fear, tremble. The dictionary will tell us that fear is deep respect, if that’s the case then what does reverence mean. I believe that fear doesn’t bring us escape from God but bring us closer. www.faithclipart.com If you would read the Amplified Bible you will realize that they replaced the word fear with reverence. There is power when we come before God with our hearts and minds carrying an attitude of reverence, not being afraid of Him or dreadful but giving him that deep respect and honour that he deserves. As a worshipper, when the revelation of reverence hits you don’t lead people in worship when you know that you are living in sin or you are dry.  The sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu died as they offered strange fires before the altar of God; if they had reverence they wouldn’t have offered such fires. Reading the bible you will realize tha...

Is Your Worship Worth It?

Image
Is your worship worth it, if it doesn’t mean anything to you then it will not mean anything to God? Is it worth it… Worship in the Old Testament was confined to the tabernacle and also to the temple of Solomon. When you look at the bible from Adam until Moses you will see that they were worshippers even without the tabernacle. The principle of first mention of the word worship in the bile is based in Genesis 5:22 where Abraham spoke of sacrifice and obedience as worship. ‘”And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you”, Genesis 22:5 Abraham, Cain, Abel, Noah, Job, Isaac and all the other patriarchs in Genesis offered sacrifices when there was no temple or tabernacle. They would construct an altar which was made of 12 rough and uncut stones which represented the 12 tribes of Israel and sacrifice on top of the altar It was not found in the quantity of the sacrifice but in the gra...

So Who Then Directs Worship ?

Image
Who directs the worship that happens in a church, congregation, meeting or nay gathering that people have to seek the face of the Lord is it the pastor, the deacons, the board or the worship leader. This is the biggest question that has and is still causing church infighting, splits and has caused churches in the past to split and it is such a delicate matter that we need divine guidance to work on it. The devil is set to destroy the institution of the church and if he can distort your worship He would have won that battle. The first and most important thing about worship in a corporate setting is that if SUBMISSION is absent things will fall into chaos and cause dissension. If we don’t submit to each other, leader to leader, singers to pastors, deacons to church boards and then to Christ and to the Holy Spirit we are headed for disaster. Wherever the Spirit of God is there is order and not chaos and whenever everyone is in alignment, the Holy Spirit easily directs the wo...

What Brings God’s Attention in Worship

What brings God’s attention to your worship that is the question? One of the answers would be your response determines the responses of your worship. Another question would be how? Let us then read the word the word of God to see why it is so. On a personal level how do you respond to God when he speaks? Gideon had a life changing encounters of meeting the Lord several times within a day. Gideon story most people know it, hiding in a wine press because of fear and an Angel of the Lord spoke to Gideon and in response to meeting the Angel of God, Gideon offers a freewill offering not asked for but knew that a visitation entails response. God came into the picture as he was pleased with the response of worship that Gideon honoured him with when He met the Angel, so many times God sends us these small things and we fail in our response. When God spoke again that very night Gideon built another altar again and called it Jehovah Shalom and sacrificed to God again his second offering, just b...

A Worshipper That Moved Heaven and Hell Into Action

Image
 Mary was a sister to Martha and Lazarus, living in the town of Bethany.  A town  that was about 3km or 2miles from Jerusalem and was situate on the road to Jericho. They were a family of substance (averagely rich) and were well known in the town and the bible states that Jesus loved the Lazarus and his sisters. Jesus in the book of Matthew 26:13 said “Verily I say unto you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her”.  After reading this verse I became anxious to know what kind of woman would cause Jesus to say such words in front of a group of people and disciples and at the same time sealing his future. Mary’s life was that of a worshipper, all the scriptures where she is mentioned show forth the kind of life Mary had. The first mention of Mary and Martha, her sister was when Jesus was at their house Martha was serving food whilst “ her sister called M...
