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.

WHO ARE YOU - PART 2

Does the answer to who are you end with finding your personality? No, the answer has a bit more to it than just finding your personality. There are 5 important aspects of each person’s life that you must know to have a complete understanding of who you are. These 5 aspects will also help you get a better understanding of the calling God has kept over you. Although it will not precisely tell you what your calling is, it will give you a clearer picture of the calling than what you previously had. With the help of your personality that you wrote above and the holy spirit, you can easily find these 5 aspects of your life.  The 5 aspects: • Likes • Dislikes • Talents • Strengths • Weaknesses Before I get into the five aspects, I want you to understand something. What I’m going to tell you is not some formula or method by which you can find your calling. Because I can’t tell you what God has for you. Only God can do that. Therefore, I ask of you that you sit alone and spend tim...

The God we serve, Jehovah is full of love and in fact we can call himself as love for he sent his one and only son JESUS who is the complete representation of LOVE.

He was and is the perfect example of love in flesh.  All of us are very familiar with the blockbuster movie, Avengers: Endgame. The whole marvel Avengers infinity war and endgame is based on the concept of the five stones that hold in them the most powerful forms of energy.

Spiritual Secrets | Unforgiveness |

  Unforgiveness is one strong emotion that most of the people tend to carry in their hearts. It is not only a strong emotion but also a very negative one. It is one emotion that has the power to destroy us completely if we allow it to. It is one emotion that we must never carry but we always tend to do because of other people’s actions and reactions to certain situations.   Why I say unforgiveness is very dangerous is because, let’s say that you have not forgiven your friend for betraying you in some situation. You carry unforgiveness in your heart. Although it is your friend who has wronged you and you have done nothing wrong, unforgiveness will only pester you and not your friend. You see this unforgiveness will create a hatred in your heart whenever you think about that person or come across a similar situation. This hatred will soon become anger and will come out and burst out in places and situations that you don’t expect resulting in problems only in your life. And the p...
