Praise And Worship

“Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” John 4:23-24

“In the day of my trouble I will call to you,

for you will answer me.

Among the gods there is none like you, O Lord;
no deeds can compare with yours.

All the nations you have made

will come and worship before You, O Lord;

they will bring glory to your name.

for you are great and do marvelous deeds;

You alone are God.”

Psalm 86:7-10

I believe that most of you are familiar with this verse when it comes to worship. Well, let me ask you some questions. What does worship mean to you? Does it revolve music alone and how much time you spent in church during worship session? In my opinion, worship is all about the heart which is pleases Him and gives your best to Him for what He has done in our lives. From this statement, we can say that worship is more to lifestyle whereby it is what you practiced daily. Thus, a single deed you have done to anyone around you is equivalent to worship regardless of this deed is a big thing or a small thing.
Well, this is just a brief introduction on what is worship is all about. If I want to further elaborate what is worship is all about, it will take more than 2 posts to explain. As we know that, on that very night what we were focusing on is to rededicate our faith to God so that we can stand strong for God and be a living testimony to those who does not know God. Besides that, that night is a night of restoration whereby those who were wounded were healed; those who were dried in the Spirit had been filled up by His living water, those who lost the fire due to various circumstances had been rekindled, those who were lost in their direction had been realigned, etc.
Personally, I can see that God was in the midst of us whereby His presence was very strong and I can see that everyone was putting their heart and soul to worship God. Apart from that, His peace filled everyone’s heart whereby we were too busy on our schedules till we had neglected the goodness of God in our lives. On that very night, what struck me the most on that night whereby every member prayed for one another It touches my heart so much that we are in unity to make CF a place whereby members received edification from their brothers and sisters-in-Christ and a place where our friends who do not know Him received the goodness of God through our love towards others for God is love.
The momentous part was during the candle lighting session. I believe that most of you what does the candle signify. A question that we need to ponder every day is “Are we still keeping the fire going on for God regardless of whether you have a great time with Him and even when you are in your most down moments?” Remember the line we sang on that night? “We want to run to the altar, to catch the fire, to stand in the gap between the living and the dead, give us a heart of compassion, for a world without vision, bringing hope to our land.”So, everyone! Are you ready to stand strong for God and make a difference to our land, UTAR, Kampar?
In conclusion, although we had a great night on that night, what matters the most is on how we react to life with faith or fear, it depends on our focus. I’m learning right now! How about you? =)
Let me end this post with a quote.
“If you keep in tune with Christ, you can sing even in the dark.”
