Are the
singing and style of
music all there is to worship? Though the word worship floats across all denominational circles more than ever, it is often misunderstood and misused. Your
spiritual encounter with the Lord would be much more profound to
honor and
glorify the Father as you grasp and practice
True Worship.
Many today consider only the singing and the music as all
Worship is, excluding the teaching and preaching of the Word, the offering, and the ministry time. That has reduced
Worship to a predetermined performance by others to engage the emotions. Sadly, much of what we call
Worship today has slowly slid into a form of entertainment for the congregation’s pleasure. More than ever, it is essential to separate authentic worship experiences where one encounters the manifest presence of the Lord from something that is more like an emotional high.
The first mention of
Worship in Scripture was when Abraham and his son Isaac
went up Mount Moriah not to sing songs, with musicians playing diverse instruments under a flashing lighting system, but to offer the son he loved, his most cherished possession, as a sacrifice to the God, he revered. That was an encounter with God that we can consider
True Worship.
The purpose of the book is to awaken the people of God to evaluate their attitude and posture towards
Worship to capture its true meaning and essence for a more profound encounter with God. It offers the reader the opportunity to explore Ezra’s
leadership principles in restoring True
Worship in Jerusalem and discover:
- The meaning and essence of True Worship
- Portrait of a true worshiper
- Experiencing God’s glory in True Worship
- Hindrances to True Worship
