Worship(genuine worship) is not
really about you; it is everything about God. Therefore, because worship is
everything about God, only God deserves your worship. What you worship
determines your worth! Therefore, whatever rules over you directly or
indirectly has forcefully taken your worship. Even the devil knew the
significance of worship, no wonder he asked for the worship of Jesus so that he
could give him the world. However, Jesus rebuked him steadfastly, saying, “only
the Lord your God shall be worshipped”.
Many times when we talk about
worshipping, people think about going to a special place-mountain, altar or
somewhere afar off. Yes! That's good; It is correct. However, Jesus said in
John 4: 20-24, a time is coming when it won't matter where you worship, whether
at Jerusalem or any of the mountains. The time Jesus was referring to is a
time, a point, a stage in your life where instead of going to one special
place/mountain or altars to worship, you yourself becomes the altar where God
is worshipped. Patriarchs like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses etc built altars
unto God. However, David went further. In addition to building altars to God.
David himself became an altar for God. His life became a living, lively and mobile
altar, where total worship emanates unto God. 2 Samuel 23:1 described David not
just as a man raised, and anointed by God, but as The Sweet Psalmist of Israel.
When you become God's victorious worship altar, breakthroughs, victory, success will become the order of the
day in your life.
There is a difference between Worship and Praise.
When you “Praise” God, you are thanking Him for what He has done, however, when
you “worship”, you appreciate Him for who He is. Your miracles may not have
arrived yet, but you know that He has answered your prayers. You may not have
started seeing the fulfilment of His promises, yet you know that He can never lie. Num 23:19. That is why
worship is individualistic. The way God is to you, might not be the way He is
revealed to me. The manner and volume of your worship to God is a direct function of how much He is to
you. Is He your God?; your Source?; your Defender? your Sufficiency? etc, then
worship Him as such.
