Worship

Worshiping God Like Abraham.

Worship Service During Overnight At Life Ministries Namuwongo.

What is worship

Worship means respectful devotion—loving, honoring, and obeying someone who deserves our highest regard. Worshipping God means acknowledging and celebrating His power and perfection in gratitude. Worship includes understanding and awe of God’s Holiness; we remember how great He is and behave reverently in His Presence.

Worshiping God as our Daddy.

Part 1

Like Abraham.

God created us because He loves us, Once we believe in Our Hearts and confess with our mouths that Jesus Christ is our Lord and personal savior we become his children and He becomes our Father.

As children of God,we are not servants, we are people created in God’s own image. We have feelings, we have hopes and dreams, we have visions and God being a good Father understands this. 

Once we become Children of God, we have a heart of servant hood just like Jesus, the greatest servant of all and so we worship and serve God not out of a fear filled obligation but out of love and respect with reverence and honour to our God and King.

Abraham worshiped God in this way, with reverence, with devotion to God, with obedience, with respect with honour such that when God asked him to sacrifise his one and only son Isaach he did with no complain. Abraham who had  not had a child his entire adult life who had endured the cultural shame of having no children then God promised to give Him a child who had finally arrived but now he had to be  sacrificed.

At this worship service, Abraham is asked to kill his precious son, to bring what is most precious to him and lay it down on the alter. In this form of worship, we are to sacrifice that which means the most to us, so that others may be blessed. Jesus laid down his own life so that all of creation would be restored.

Instead of thinking of worship as a place to go to get fueled up, encouraged, excited or any other completely self-focused objectives, we learn how worship should be. It is  supposed to be heart-wrenching and truly sacrificial. This is not exciting. A time of worship where our faith is truly tested is not enjoyable. It is quite miserable. Worship where we stand before our God and he painfully extracts the sin in our lives. This is not done with a cup of coffee in the hand.

At Abraham’s worship service there was a deep, deep, deep sense of thankfulness. We learn to give and sacrifice to maintain a right relationship with the Father, and he uses that faithfulness and righteousness to bless the world around us.
