Evening of Worship - Building a Culture of Worship

The Culture of Worship” Here are some things to note:✍🏽Worship is not music. It can be expressed through music, but that's not all that it is. Worship is also not a moment.✍🏽Worship is aligning yourself to the will of God. The first time Worship was used in the Bible was in Abraham's story- to mean sacrifice.✍🏽Real Worship is a posture of consecration. Your public devotion can be a waste of time when your life is not aligned. Jeremiah 10:23✍🏽Man's destiny is to be the image of God. The word "image" is not a noun but a verb.✍🏽If you make decisions without asking God, you are not a worshipper. Remember the destiny of man. In (Gen 1:6) when the Bible says God made man in his image, it has nothing to do with facial shape or body. Rather, what God was saying is: in the earth realm, let man stand as My representative to do things I would have done if I were there.A Few Things To Note:📌 Even though God gave man dominion, it had a context, and to act outside that is to fall into the snare of satan.📌 The biggest sins in the Bible had nothing to do with immorality. The biggest sins in the Bible were acting out of purpose.📌 It’s a big deal in the realm of the spirit to act outside of purpose. Genesis 6:2, where the sons of God (angels) desired to marry the daughters of men. They may have even followed proper marital rites, but was it wrong? Yes. Why? Because it is not God’s will for angels to marry and have children (Matt. 22:30; 2 Pet. 2:4-5). Jude 6 explains what the sin was.📌 Purpose determines your boundary. When it comes to God, worshipping God, living for him, it is beyond the sincerity of your desire.📌 Embrace the domain of God, don’t see it as a limitation. Freedom is within the confines of the boundaries of God.📌 It is part of worship to align your mind with the word of God, even the things you don’t fully understand.📌 There’s a logical rationale for why we believe the word of God should influence culture. It is God’s will that there’ll be a communal objective understanding of truth that is beyond how we feel.📌 It is not in man to direct his own ways. Your worship must move beyond lyrics, you must bow to the dictate of the word of God even when it’s hard, even when you don’t understand it.
