Lesson 10: Acceptable Worship

-

 Think of Food (and that is something our worship has been compared to for God many times)

not focusing on the detailed intricacies but wholistically speaking, there is what is GENERALLY considered ACCEPTABLE for consumption, some generally acceptable conditions in this case may be that its nature when about to be consumed MUST NOT BE RAW  

some form of processing must have happened to bring the food to a state where it can easily be received and eaten by person be it normal food processing which is cooking or digital processing e.g snacks processing


Now, that being said, even in a generation where everybody seems to be singing but we're not sure if God is pleased with our sounds, our words or our heart posture, please know and accept that there is a STANDARD ACCEPTABLE WORSHIP, and the way a good fresh hot meal served before you by your mom or a loved one is undebatably congestible, whilst a poorly prepared meal or something served with dirt is undoubtedly inconsumable, Good Worship is acceptable and accepted by God and Bad Worship or Unnacceptable Worship is  just doing activities and worship is not rising.


is there a secret to God accepting our worship? Yes but its not really a secret when its details are readily unveilable for all who care to understand, helpful scriptures on this matter would be Isaiah 29:13 requoted by Jesus himself in Matthew 15:8 that says "these people honour me with their lips but their hearts are far from me. So a God who sees the inside that men cant see marks good worship based on proximity of heart to himself.

Even as humans, we almost can tell whose heart we're in and heart and the other way round, how much more God who knows everything and everyone.  

James 4:8a Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. 

The most valuable celebrations and acknowledgement come from those closest to us and this is an indicator that our worship means more both to us and to God when we have established a close communicative relationship with this God whom we cant see but we see his works and his hands in our lives everyday. Even in the case of Cain and Abel, its not stated why God rejected Cains offering but God says to Cain in Genesis 4 that if he had done well, his offering would have been accepted too, I put it to you, as pertaining to acceptable worship that must have been referring to his knowledge of presenting heartfelt offering and not just anything possible just because.
Genuine heartfelt worship to a God we are close to will make our Worship Acceptable and this formula remains constant.

Lesson 13 : The Wisdom of Bonds

-
Blessings and welcome to this special insight on relationships Everyone. This teaching is curated from my word session at my beautiful Fiancees Community and Ministry. Its depth of wisdom qualifies it to be a major topic referenced for years to come via this series. It’s one thing to just be a part of a church or a ministry It’s another thing to be active in any of the communities you find yourself connected to in the Faith. Many of us have questions on dealing with people Why are people the way they are? How shall we deal with them? And so on and so forth Starting focus:  Our Orientation of people The world is generally a better place because of someoness kindness and a worse place because of someones wickedness. Both kindness and wickedness need yielded people to be expressed, so teachings like this aim to yield us towards goodness for the betterment of the world and for our christian journey. We have to first be good people after which we can now talk about dealing wit...

LESSON 1 : GROWTH IN ITSELF

-
GROWTH IN ITSELF it is recorded in Luke that Jesus GREW,in wisdom, in stature, and in Favour with God and Man. Paul the Apostle said in one of his epistles, that Childhood brought the acting and thinking pattern of a child, but Adulthood is characterized by the putting away of childish things.  Everything stated about growth shows how much it’s greatest effects are on you and how much of a personal thing it is. So Whilst you can be schooled and adviced, the onos lies on you to GROW UP.  growth in context here refers to spiritual growth but it affects all other corners as we see in Jesus.  Proverbs tells us that Wisdom is the principal and most important item on the “get” list among all our gettings. All of wisdom cannot be attained at once, Hence we are emulate Jesus Christ, by GROWING in it, letting it influence you daily till you begin to see the kind of changes you want to see.  Growth in stature comes up after, stature first and secondly means a man’s PHYSICAL HE...
