Worship

Under Theme Spiritual Disciplines

 WORSHIP
Psalms 95:6
6
O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.
Psalms 100:2-4
Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
2

3
Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
and into his courts with praise:
Worship
• is to acknowledge that God is the King and results in living lives in light of that truth.
• Homage or grateful submissions to God
 John 4 : 23 – 24
23
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit
and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship
him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

We always worship God in spirit but there are times when we are led by the spirit of God

THINGS THAT USUALLY HAPPEN

Feelings, emotions and actions are involved (Kneeling, Shouting and Crying)

To say that we must worship God in “spirit” means that the worship should originate from
within, from the heart, it must be sincere, motivated by our love for God and gratitude for all He
is and has done.
 WHY DO WE PRAISE THE LORD

• God is the King (Psalms 47 : 7)

• Gift of life (Romans 6 : 23)
• For his mercies (Psalms 136 : 23)
• For the salvation of Jesus Christ (1Thessalonians 5 : 9)
 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE WORSHIP

• STORY OF PAUL SILAS

• Acts 16 (25-26) MSG
• Along about midnight, Paul and Silas were at prayer and singing a robust hymn to God. The
other prisoners couldn’t believe their ears. Then, without warning, a huge earthquake! The
jailhouse tottered, every door flew open, all the prisoners were loose.
• Startled from sleep, the jailer saw all the doors swinging loose on their hinges. Assuming that
all the prisoners had escaped, he pulled out his sword and was about to do himself in, figuring
he was as good as dead anyway, when Paul stopped him: “Don’t do that! We’re all still here!
Nobody’s run away!”
 2 Chronicles 20:22-23
And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of
22

Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. 23 For the
children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and
destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to
destroy another
• There will be huge earthquakes
• There is opening of doors
• Enemies get confused
• People will get saved
• Apologies from the same people

peace. Numbers 6:24-26
