God is Spirit and every true worship must be done in spirit if it must be acceptable by God. We are graciously in a most challenging time on earth; wherein many noise makings and chants seem to appear as the true worship. We are unconsciously being caught up in a web of “dramatic experiences, shrewd appearing as the move of God & true worship” - 1Kings 18:26-29.
Until the will of the Father is absolutely enthroned in a man’s life, until the purposes of God begins to rule a man’s life; worship is not yet attained; for every worship stems from a life of absolute surrender to the will and purposes of God. True worship begins with a life of total surrender to the will of God in righteousness and service - Rom.
12:1-2.
God did not create the church accidentally, He designed it intentionally for: Worship, Fellowship, Evangelism, Discipleship and Ministry/Service.
🎀 Note The Following
1. The Church is not a building; The church is a people - 1Cor. 12:27.
2. The Church is not a social club; it is a divine institution - Mt. 16:17-18.
3. The Church exists because God willed it - Mt 16:16-17.
4. Many churches are busy but not purposeful; activity without divine purpose in the church leads to frustration -Mt. 28:18-20.
🎀 Understanding Worship; The Foundational Biblical Perspective
1. Before the church does anything for the people, it must first exist for God - Jn. 4:23-24.
2. The first mention of the word “Worship” in the scripture had nothing to do with music, choir nor instruments, it was in respect to “Obedience & absolute yieldedness to God’s perfect will even though it was not convenient - Gen 22:1-5.
3. Worship is not music alone. True biblical worship is a lifestyle that is pleasing to God.
