DATE: 9th May 2022
TOPIC: TRUE WORSHIPERS
TEXT: 1Corinthians 14:15
“What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.”
MESSAGE
Worship is the most important part of any meeting with God. Anyone who is not baptized in the Holy Ghost should not be a worship leader. A good voice is not the qualification to be a worship leader as there is a difference between a talented singer and an anointed one.
Worshippers are supposed to glorify God and it takes the active presence Holy Spirit to do this. In John 16:13, Jesus Christ said it is the Holy Spirit who would glorify Him. John 4:23–24 tells us that God is a Spirit and those who worship Him are to worship Him in Spirit and in truth. Our spirits are lifted when singing hymns and choruses — not because they were written by angels but because people who were filled with the Holy Spirit sang it. The Holy Spirit breathed on them and they wrote what He inspired them to write. The Spirit never dies, that is why hymns are evergreen. When next you are writing a song, remember that the letter kills but the Spirit makes alive (2 Corinthians 3:6).
If you are a chorister, seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit, if you are a Pastor, make sure that everyone who climbs on the altar to lead worship is baptized in the Holy Spirit. Let there be no instrumentalist who is not baptized in the Holy Ghost. Worship is like food to God, so let us be very careful with the kind of food we bring to His table. If there are no instrumentalists, we have a ten-stringed instrument provided by God — our hands. God made voices and hands before musical instruments and if that is the only pure thing you have to offer Him, He is fine with it.
O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. Psalm 47:1
ACTION POINT: The role of a worship leader is not to entertain but rather, to bring down the power of God.
PRAYER POINT: Heavenly Father, baptize me with the power of the Holy Ghost, let my worship always pleases you in Jesus name. Amen
