Message
Yesterday, I started a discussion about how important it is for you to recharge your spiritual battery by studying. memorising, and meditating on the word of God. Today, I'll discuss worship as another way you can recharge your spiritual battery.
Many people allow the choir to do the worshipping for them in church during services. I thank God for all the spirit-filled choristers around the world who lead powerful praise and worship sessions, but they cannot worship God on your behalf You must learn to worship God yourself. In Ephesians 5:18-19, Apostle Paul says:
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
The above Scripture implies that you should sing very often, even in your conversations with other people. Paul specifically says that you should sing hymns because they are inspired by the Holy Spirit. I thank Cod for the songs and choruses that we have today, but most of them fade with time. Many hymns, however, have stood the test of time; a lot of them were written hundreds of years ago, but they remain evergreen.
In today's Bible reading, Jesus said that God is a Spirit, and those who worship Him must do so in spirit and in truth because the Father seeks such people to worship Him. When you are a worshipper, the Holy Spirit will seek you out. Worship means reverencing someone or something. When you worship God, you revere Him; you place Him in the highest position in your life. Everyone on earth is a worshipper; people worship one thing or the other. The way to know what a fellow worships is to check what he or she holds in hig! esteem. For instance, when people cannot do without checking their phones or scrolling through them, such phones have become objects of worship. When someone can do anything for money, that fellow is worshipping money.
Worship also means submission. You submit to whomever or whatever you worship. When you worship God, you are submitting and surrendering your heart to Him so that He can fill it with His power and glory. When you submit to God, He comes and dwells in you.
Beloved, make singing praises to God and worshipping Him your lifestyle. When you engage in these spiritual acts constantly, He will fill you with His Spirit and keep your spiritual battery charged at all times.
