Corporate Worship: Part 2

I wrote on corporate worship some time back and dealt with how we should worship God in spirit and in truth and how it is an instruction.
This time i will be dealing with two (2) other truth we should know about worshipping God so we can be blessed in our worship.
Meditating still on the story I referenced to which I presume is the main teaching on Jesus about worship and it was to a woman by the well side. More revelations on what worship is,came to light.
John 4:23b says "... the father seeketh such to worship him". This brings us to the 1st truth I will be talking about.

DO IT RIGHT:
I will be direct on this and just give various points that surround this truth.
Its being pointed out, that worship is a lifestyle but for the sake of this series am focused on how  it is been expressed in songs. Hopefully I'll talk about it as a whole some other time.

When you worship God give your best...
Worship with undivided attention
Make an effort to give the best of your voice,  your sound and everything you need to  use in worship.
Christians always over look details when it has to do with worship and we end up giving half baked of everything.
God showed it to us with Cain and Abel. David showed us, when the arc was returned to Israel, God is always detailed with the musical instruments they played at the various times he instructed them to.
Give quality music to God. Not just because you want make money out of it or because you are just trying to get through a scheduled worship session for the days program.
Every time you are in the place of worship,give the best from your heart,voice and instrument. For the Father desires such to worship him.

Do it right as the worship leader
Do it right as the pastor
Do it right in the congregation
Do it right in your bedroom
Do it right in the bathroom
Do it right in your devotions
Do it right
Do it right always

The second truth I will be dealing with is...

KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING:
Don't worship because everyone else is, worship because you understand what's going on.
Worship is a spiritual exercise (Phil. 3:3).
Its more than what the flesh can do.  For God is spirit and you can only worship him at his frequency (I explained details in this in the part 1 of this series).

Also you should know that worship is a way we relate with God,  one of the strong factors that develops our intimate relationship with God.  I will simply say "worship is deep".
Worship is a life style. Its an expression based on the understanding you have of how magnificent God is.  In other words your worship can only be as deep as how much you know God and He's awesomeness.

Count your blessings and all the wonderful things God has done for you.
When ever this is said we always try to think of the physical things we can remember that God has done for us but that's not all we mean.
There's 10 times more things that God has done for us than we know.,  its all in the bible.
The Glory
The Riches
The Authority
The Power
When you have all this knowledge, i bet you, your worship will be rich,  because you will literally feel God's love for you when ever you think of what he has done.

So this is the little I will say on this truth...  There's just so much and i hope you will continue in this so as to be blessed in you worship.
