Hai...it have been so long for me not writing or updating my blog. This few blog i will like to write about what i has prepare for our Praise and Worship team, while we study on what is Praise and Worship. We'd been discussing on three different topic about praise and worship. For the first topic i'd prepare, is about Worship in Spirit and in Truth.
What is Praise and Worship (P&W)?
According to Bob Sorge's book i'd been reading about praise and worship, P&W is not an option. It is commandment of God that evey child of God is to be a praiser and a worshipers of God. True, so true! We all know that God created us for a purpose. Beside of His purpose to carry the call, which is to win soul for the Kingdom, we are also call to worship Him at all cost! Even since the begining of man civilisation, God's instruct man to worship Him, and not the Idols or other what we so call "god"! P&W what i try to mention here is also include music, singers and dancers.
The different between P&W and involvement.
involve basically is we just follow our schedule and play or dance. Involve usually effected by our feeling. If we feel ok or we feel like we want to dance, music, and sing we do it. If not, we just withdraw without hesitating our decision. Involve will usually cause one to murmur and not with whole heartedly!
P&W is suppose to be in Spirit and in Truth. It is written in Joh 4:23 But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.
In Spirit...
1 Sam 16:13 - anoint with Holy Spirit
1 Sam 16:23 - David took the lyre and played it with his hand. So Saul was refreshed and was well, and the harmful spirit departed from him.
In spirit bassically is like David, filled with God's spirit. To worship God is Spirit is to honor God with our skill in our music playing and be filled with God's spirit. To be filled is to accept Christ in our life and let His spirit move in us, live in us and guide us. What happen to Saul when David plays the instrument? Because David was filled with God's Spirit, when he play the lyre the evil spirit within Saul depart from Saul!! What a powerful it is in our P&W when we filled with God's Spirit.
in Truth...
Jeremiah 9:23,24 - but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the LORD."
to worship in Truth is to know the truth. The truth that we should know is the LORD who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the LORD. We are not suppose to boast and kind of showing off our skill, but in P&W is to worship in truth, which is to server Him. That is the truth!!
We should not boast at our skills and experience in music, but the truth that we hold, which is to server our Father and boast of who He is!!
Another Issue
Another issue is that when we play music or dance before the Lord in our ministrying time, do it wholeheartedly. That's also mean, when we ministrying during our service, worship togather. Don't just focus on our music arrangement or code, but focus on the presence of the Lord. Worship with the instrument we have, the dance we have and the song that we sing.
