The Effect of Sin On The Heart Of A Worshipper

The centre of human life is the heart and this same heart is the same source of our worship. The heart is the heart of human existence. An unclean source of water gives out unclean water and its the same with our hearts.  Think about it, why does God keep pressing that we live our lives for Him.  Worship is the best place for us to know him and create a relationship with him through the Holy Spirit.  God wants us to experience his presence always and sin inhibits us from the place. Sin and iniquity are sent to attack the source of our worship, the heart, to taint it and destroy everything in the  path. You find David crying out his heart to God create in me a clean heart and renew our spirit oh God, so that what had suffocated because of sin and iniquity may come alive. So many times we sweep sin under the carpet and we choose not deal with it. We have to learn to deal with sin as soon as it arises, why? The Effect of Sin On The Heart 1. Festers and Grow- sin is like...

Communion And Fellowship: What Its All About

Image
Worship is lifting up the name of God in all splendor with everything we have in life, it’s not just a song you sing, worship is a lifestyle and daily experience not a 2hour Sunday recreation of taking off stress. Worship is what we were created to do, Isaiah 43:21 states “ This people have I formed for myself; they shall declare my praise ” When I talk of fellowship I am not talking of meeting with the brethren once or twice a week to have coffee, tea, biscuits, and a song plus discussing a chapter of the bible. When I talk of communion I am talking of taking the Lord’s Supper and the elements not am talking about the frequency we should take it. The bible sometimes uses these interchangeably because they basically speak of the same lifestyle. I am talking of a lifestyle of living and knowing God in an intimate way. Talking of not knowing God at 8am, 1pm or at 10pm when you sleep, only knowing during your prayer time and beyond that there isn’t anything. I speak of a l...

How To Touch Generations Through Worship

Image
Touching generations though worship isn't the real intention we stand and lift up the name of Jesus. With our world full of different generations plus the future generations, we see that worship reaches to that whole spectrum. Touching generations is a byproduct of our worship, it's not the focus but God blesses us in return with the ability to touch a generations. Reading though Psalms I have learnt something about Worship, it's not just declaring or showing forth his word but It is also a means to witness, proclaiming and herald the message of the kingdom to the current generation both old and young, unbelievers and generations to come. 1. "One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works". Psalms 145:4-5. It shows that as we worship we are speaking and declaring the message of God to the world and to the generations to come making ...

The Bible The Worshipper: Which is Which

Image
She would say if you are going to be in this choir, band or banners you need to read, live and understand the word of God. In my mind I would be like oh yah, how does singing and reading the bible connect but it took me a while till I got the understanding of how important it is to know his word. I was reminded of this a few days ago I was reading an article by Herald of His Coming, June 2011 edition and there was a statement in that was the newspaper magazine that struck a chord within me and it said “How can you have the precepts of the Holy Scriptures coursing through your mind that much without being radically changed by them” As I read this statement this scripture this scripture came to mind “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee” Psalms 119:11 David speaks and says I have hidden you word in my heart that I may not sin against you, so his word runs through our blood system there is a shift and change not just of the mind but of the charact...

Distractions In Worship

So many times we look to the external things that will distract our worship. So many times we look at the external factors, like band, my voice isn’t plus I have a cold and most of the time we blame it on the sound guys, things went that bad because we couldn’t hear ourselves onstage, no air conditioning was off and we were cold. So many times we look for someone to blame for the things that go wrong in our lives even in our worship. What are some of the things that hold us back from worshipping that stem from within our own lives?   1.       Guilt: So many times we are full of guilt that is just so ripe in our lives and we carry that guilt into the presence of God. That causes our attention to shift from God and we start worrying and thinking of ourselves and we lose sight of the God we worship. Either that or we feel so inadequate of everything and not worthy to stand in that place just like Isaiah said, “Woe I am a man of unclean lips” ...
