BEWARE OF THE PRAISES OF MEN!
These days, we have a lot
of "actors" and followers during worship. Forgetting the truth (not
fact) that worship is never about us (leaders/congregation)
IT'S
ALL ABOUT JESUS!! HE should be the One at the center of our worship.
GOD expects us to loose sense of ourselves, environment, pretty makeup
and fancy dresses and FOCUS only on HIM.
Worship should be
VERTICAL, to GOD alone, to only One AUDIENCE who is GOD. ☁π We are
often instructed to close our eyes during worship/prayers, this isn't
because it's a ritual exercise as some think it is, but it's needful so
as to shut out every distraction and help our inner eyes and spirits to
FOCUS only on JESUS whom all praises due ππΆπΉπ€π· One of the many
reasons why there are little or no manifestation of GOD'S spirit working
miracles, wonders and healing during praise and worship sessions (as
powerful as these spiritual tools are in the realm of the spirit) is
because deep down in our hearts, we leave GOD out of the picture and
replace HIM with men whose breath are in their nostrils.
Worshipping the creature rather than the creator.☁
...Do you still remember Paul and Silas? Kicked into
prison, bound in chains, despite their condition they chose to
praise/worship GOD in their pains and GOD moved to the sound of their
music. We all know what happened thereafter.π What really made GOD move
to their acapella? Was there a particular posture they took or list of
songs they sang that night in that small dark room? NO it's not!!!
Their hearts were solely on GOD, their focus were as strong as a laser light.
GOD is a Spirit, so HE looks at the heart.
Focusing
on GOD'S awesomeness, power, loving kindness make HIM move our
mountains for us ππ Please, take a closer look at this picture one
more time and you'll understand better what I've been saying. #Actors in worship. We all should be real to express our love for GOD
Praise/worship
session is also a part of the church service, it's never meant to while
away time and wait for late commers to arrive church.
The
blind, cripples, broken hearted, barren, sick, hopeless, jobless should
all receive their miracles right in the praise/worship session, that's
if our hearts are in the right place.
If you
dare not take a selfie in front of your bosses during a very important
job interview to post on facebook, instagram, snap chat so that your
friends, frienemies, stalkers can 'like' and 'comment'. Then can someone
please explain to me why would someone make/receive calls, chat, sleep,
gaze and sit carelessly, discuss, exchange pleasantries, take selfie
during worship to the same GOD who gave your feet strength to carry your
body weight.
Hmmm...Some people are bold to dare some
things shaπ· *Beware of the praises of men!π ...So when next you get to
a gathering and it's worship time, know that GOD is right there, and as
sons and daughters HE expects us to reference HIM by giving HIM our
love, attention and focusπ
HE DESERVES YOUR LOVE AND REGARD!!! Selah! Think about this.π
