WHY? WORSHIP


 

WORSHIP is one of the most profoundly used words in the Christian world and in the church itself. Worship is often mistaken and misunderstood by the very people who believe in Christ or shortly to be called “CHRISTIANS”. I feel that we as Christians don’t really understand the true meaning of worship in its true sense and just do it for name’s sake. It is because of this that I believe, knowing why we need to worship is very essential.

Isaiah 43:21 says like this,

"The people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise."

 

What God is saying here is this,” I created humans to set forth praise to Me”. So, this means that the very purpose of every human on earth is to bring a sweet aroma of praise unto God. But, does this mean that worship is a rule that we must follow? And if we don’t do it does it lead to some consequences? Well, if we think that way then our perspective of worship is so wrong.

 

Let me tell you why. We humans were created with one special gift that is FREE WILL. What does this mean? Well, when we correlate the two facts 

  1. we are made to worship
  2. we have free will
we come know that we are to worship the eternal god out of our free will and not because we are told to do so. if that wasn't the case then God wouldn't have given us free will.

So, this means that God loves His people praising Him out of their free will, with a truthful heart, because they want to. But nowadays we don't worship God because we want to but because we are supposed to or do it because our parents do so or because we shouldn’t be seen differently or because everyone in church is doing so and so many other reasons. But the only reason that God really expects from us is “God I worship you and bring praises to you because 'I' want to, because I love you for who you are in my life”. The very expression of worship is based on ‘truth’ because it says like this in john 4:24


"God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

it is very essential that our expression of worship, be it songs, be it praying, be it praising God or any other expression of worship should be truthful and from our hearts and not because of anything else. It is only when we worship God this way, that we actually bring a sweet aroma of praise and worship that God is longing from us. It is this truthful worship that pleases God.


So this is what God expects from us when we worship:

1.     A truthful heart of worship.

2.     Worship because ‘we’ want to.

3.     Worship God and Him alone for who He is.

JESUS 2.0

  When we say the word ‘Jesus’ what are some of the things that come to our mind. If we are to list them it would be something like, ·       God ·       Church ·       Gospel ·       Worship ·       Christianity ·       Christian ·       Deity  And more ideas similar to what I have listed here. All of the above-listed ideas and things do tell something about Jesus and is a part of who He is and what He does.

A WALK ON WATER

Hey, guys hope y'all are doing good. I’m going to be sharing what God is speaking to me in the blog every week, so stay tuned and come back to get a word of encouragement and revelation from God. Also, the blog is in the form of a podcast. You can find the links to the podcast in the podcast tab. All of this aside, let’s get to the blog. When you think of the season that we as the whole world are going through with the widespread of the covid virus, it’s as though we were given no time to even think about what was happening. It was like a wave that hit us, we never expected. A similar situation is where the disciples find themselves in Matthew 14:22 Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that his disciples get back into the boat and cross to the other side of the lake, while he sent the people home. The word immediately shows the transition from one of the greatest miracles performed by Jesus to a stormy and wavy sea they never expected. They had no time to process the miracle, ye...

HIS WILL. BEAR FRUIT

Doing the will of God may sound so easy but in action, it seems very hard. The task although is simple it takes a lot of gut and grit to complete the task the way God wants it to be done. Why I say this is because sometimes doing the will of God means less of my joy and happiness, it means to sacrifice some things I love a lot, it means to throw the things I enjoy being with, it means the end of certain relationships and so on. Often times we tend to wonder why the will of God is the way it is. But there is a way to do this “will of God”. In John 15:16 Jesus says this 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit-fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.                                                                   ...
