THE AFTERMATH OF WORSHIP
Text: 2 Chronicles 5:12–14
Preacher: Pst Mrs Sandra Amedu
Worship is not just about what happens while we sing. There should be an aftermath of worship—something should happen to us after we have encountered God.
In 2 Chronicles 5:12–14, when the priests and singers worshipped God with one accord, the glory of the Lord filled the temple. Their worship created an atmosphere for God's glory to manifest.
1. The Aftermath of Worship Is Glory
When true worship rises, God's glory comes down.
The Bible says, “The house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord.” The worship did not end with singing; it resulted in an encounter with God's glory.
There should be glory in the temple, glory in our bodies, and glory in our lives.
Our lives are now the temple of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, worship should cause God's glory to be evident in the way we live, speak, behave and relate with others.
Worship should leave evidence of God's presence upon us.
2. The Aftermath of Worship Is Transformation
You cannot genuinely encounter God and remain exactly the same.
When we worship God, He works on our hearts, our attitudes, our desires and our character. Worship should transform us from the inside out.
If we worship God but continue living exactly the same way, we need to ask ourselves whether we have truly encountered Him.
True worship changes us.
After worship, there should be a change in our priorities, our character, our relationships and our walk with God.
We don't just worship and leave God's presence—we carry the evidence of His presence with us.
Conclusion
The question is not only, “Did I worship?”
The greater question is, “What happened after I worshipped?”
Did God's glory become evident in my life?
Was my heart transformed?
Did I become more like Christ?
May our worship not end with songs. May it produce glory, transformation and a life that continually carries the presence of God.
