What makes great worship

1/29/2019

Worship is a lifestyle. It is not just limited to the time we spend singing songs to God as apart of our love for Him. Getting to the point, we are worshiping God any time when we choose to obey the Word of God or His Holy Spirit. When it comes to worshiping God, what makes a great worshiper is simple: having pure motives of thankfulness to Him and a heart of true worship.

Worship is not just a song. Worship is giving your life and body as service to the Lord.
Check out what Romans 12:1 says:

  • “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”

When the Bible first mentions worship, it is when Abraham went up the mountain to sacrifice his son, Isaac, in an act of obedience to God (Genesis 22:5). Worship is when you surrender and live a life obedient to the Spirit of God.
​
As you live your life, believe for the Holy Spirit to help you to live a life that is pleasing and obedient to His Spirit and Word, a life of worship.

worship through music/song

People use musical ability to lead great musical worship programs, which plays an important role in The Church, but worship is not only about the sound; it’s mostly about the heart. 

If you want to lead worship through music, pray. God will bring you what you are in need of to increase your skill: i.e., people, understanding, resources. But, understand skill is not what makes worship powerful. I have said it before, “worship is an outward expression of an inward position of the heart.”  Worship is an attitude of the heart. Worship is to be done in “spirit and truth” (John 4:24). ​

Some are called to lead musical worship through song or music.
These are indicators that you may be one:

  1. You come alive in worship. Joy is there. Worship for you is deep passion that rages like a fire in your bones.
  2. You desire to learn to be skillful with a musical instrument, your voice, etc. or you want to use the musical talents you already have for God in greater measures. 
  3.  You have the same fire to see others worship God.

Do you think this describes you?  If so, pray about, it and talk to a spiritual leader.

How to receive more of the fullness of Christ

10/13/2017

 Communion, oneness (unity) and a new wine skin: these are three things that The Church should continue to highlight in our journey to receiving the fullness of Christ. Christ is unceasingly calling His bride, The whole Church, into His fullness.
 
How do the people of God venture deeper into the revelation of Christ to receive more of His fullness? We do this by partaking in communion and unity. Then, we position ourselves for a new wine skin (2 Cor. 3:18; Matt. 9:17) Those who have a new wine skin (capacity to receive the things of God) can  receive more of his “wine” - His “new wine” – that is more of His fullness.

 Oneness (unity) and communion are mentioned together in 1 Corinthians 10:16- 17. It reads:

​“The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.”
 
The scripture speaks of how when we come together in unity by the partaking of communion, we in turn, display the oneness of Christ and the oneness of His body, The Church (*1 Corinthians 12:12). Let’s read some scripture from Ephesians chapter four:
  • “Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.”

 Here in Ephesians four we find The Church must come together in the “unity of the faith.” and in “the knowledge of the Son of God.” in order to grow in the measure of Christ’s fullness. Therefore, my encouragement to the Church is that we set aside natural differences. Then, set our minds to be united with others in the communion and unity of Christ (unity in the Spirit).

If we do so, we will be given a new wine skin, receiving the sweeter things of God (His new wine), and we will grow deeper in love with Him as we discover the sweetness of His fullness.
