The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. Psalm 119:130

WORSHIP REDEFINED!

Posted by Global Faith Coalition on March 16, 2015 at 11:09pm

(When ye pray, say, Our Father who art in heaven,(Hallowed to be thy name)

For so long, our definition of worship has been limited to special moments when we sing, lift up our hands to praise the name of the lord. There is nothing wrong with singing, lifting up holy hands and praising God; but there is more to worship than the above. Christ told the woman of Samaria in the gospel of John, “Ye worship ye know not what.”

It’s more than two thousand years since Christ spoke those striking words to the woman of Samaria. Do you know what? He is still saying the same words today to several millions of God’s people around the world who fill our church buildings daily to worship him. “Ye worship ye know not what.”

Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. Joh:4:20-21.

To the woman of Samaria as seen in the above scripture, worship was a traditional rite handed down by her ancestors and should be carried out in the same traditional environments. This is the summary of what the religious mentality of worship is all about. God is looking for a generation of true worshipers who will worship the father in spirit and in truth.

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Joh:4:23-24

WHAT IS WORSHIP?
Worship is the act of total surrender to God and living for his will, plans and purposes. It is bigger than singing some religious songs and weeping in a religious service. Worship is part of our ministry to God; it’s not a religious ritual, but an attitude of respect, which should be expressed in all we do and say, to hallow the name of the Almighty God. In the words of Christ to His disciples on prayer, worship was included by the statement (Hallowed be thy name). Worship in all its forms helps to lift up our spirit and to enable us to be more receptive to God.

NB: Worship does not raise God higher, for He is already higher above all gods, and He fills all things. You can’t improve on perfect! Worship does not lift God for God is already lifted; worship lifts us to where God is, from where we can be graced with His anointing. Worship should be an integral part of the life and ministry of a New Testament believer in season and out of season.

Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. (Hab 3:17-18)

When we live a life of worship, we would be able to go through challenging seasons without losing the freshness of God’s presence. Worship as a life of total surrender to God and living for his will, plans and purposes, keep us in the presence of God perpetually. I encourage you to practice a life of worship (a life of total surrender to God and living for his will, plans and purposes). It’s uplifting and refreshing.

What is considered as worship today has given birth to individuals who live like the devil from Monday to Saturday and on Sunday morning, they go to church in order to appease their religious consciences with few songs in the name of worship. May God save the church!

God created us to live for his will, plans and purposes, which were to serve as our worship to Him.

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Rev 4:11

God created all things for His pleasure. What is his pleasure? God's pleasure has to do with his will, plans and purposes. The pleasure of every manufacturer is the functioning of his or her products in accordance to his or her will, plans purposes. We only worship God effectively if we live fully for his will, plans and purposes. This does not demand for one to go up the mountains or Jerusalem to worship; God is a spirit. he is everywhere. He is not looking for a religious ritual in the name of worship, but for people who will live fully for his glory.

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Joh:4:23-24

May the Spirit of the Lord come on you as you commit yourself fully today for God and all what his passions are in Jesus name! Cheers! Dr. Etta

IT'S A NEW DAY!

He called the Light Day. Genesis 1:5a

In God's perspective, a day is only justified by its light. That's why, Christ said, we should ask for our daily bread. The bread he was referring to was something deeper than physical food; it is the light (revelation and understanding) that goes with each day.

You can't survive on yesterday's light, today, which is the major reason why most institutions, churches, and organizations lose their relevance with time.

Operating with the light of yesterday in a new day is the major reason behind the decay in several quarters of Christendom.

Jesus wept over Jerusalem because they didn't know the time of their visitation. The light of the world walked through their streets, but their religious blindness made them miss such a glorious era.

I'm weeping for this generation, "And this is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil." John 3:19.

I pray you seek the light for this era!

Sometimes, it may require personal consecration to God and thorough mentorship under those entrusted with the light of a given dispensation.

"Religion" hates to hear this kind of truth, but we won't close our mouths nor drop down our pens until the light of the truth sweeps all across this dark world. Help us, God! DrBenard Etta

He Called the Darkness Night! Gen 1:5b

 

Physical things are weak illustrations of life realities. We are either walking in the “Day” or “Night” and the difference is light.

The difference between day and night is not time, but light. An entire generation can grope in the dark and live their experience in the night if they lack light (Illumination).

We are in the 21st-Century, and while there is a small group of people dotted around the world who are walking in the light of this day (21st Century), it is just unfortunate that millions of people living in this same era are walking in darkness and living the reality of the night.

An entire denomination, nation, and generation could walk in gross darkness even under the brightest sunlight. Thank God for sunlight, but its impact is merely physical. There is another light; divine light, the light of the revelation of Christ as the truth. That's the highest light!

It doesn't make people merely religious; it upgrades their knowledge and understanding and gives them access to “heavenly civilization” for early manifestation. That's why, just going to church alone isn't enough, there is light available if we press on to know the one who is Light, and in him is no darkness at all.

It is his light given to a generation that births their day. He called the Light Day!

Very soon, the power of his Light will lighten this age through his luminaries. I see a new day on the horizon; it's coming!

Don't get lost in baseless “religiosity,” disconnect to connect. Ponder to be a wonder!DrBenard Etta

The Word Of God Contains All The Vital Principles For Birthing A New Civilization!

The world within the word of God is the only realm without deficiencies; its sufficiency can make up for our deficiencies in all areas of our lives and spheres of strategic importance. Apart from salvation from sin, sicknesses, curses, and demonic oppression, the ‘world within the word offers breakthrough knowledge, ideas, strategy, inventions, creations, and innovative insights, capable of propelling advanced progress in the Politico-Socio-Economic-Cultural and Scientific arenas. The word of God contains all the vital principles for the birthing of a new civilization, in virtually all areas and spheres of life. It takes insight to see this possibility.

There is much more to our existence on planet Earth than mere survival. I said in Chicago last year during my mentorship program that the highly celebrated "American Dream" of a house, car, and others is the highest form of poverty if it becomes all one lives for.

WHY GFCSM IS UNIQUE!

1) It is a heavenly vision for such a time as this, packaged with timely and relevant revelation knowledge to equip the saints for extraordinary effectiveness and impact in establishing God's kingdom and His will on earth as it is in heaven in the lives of people and all facets of society in the 21st century.

2) The courses are not borrowed, but downloaded from the mind of God, and uniquely designed for 21st-century passionate, curious, and inquisitive kingdom ambassadors, whose search for God and truth can't be satisfied by baseless proclamations and religious rhetoric. Presently, I don't know of any school of ministry with the courses in the GFCSM online school program. This is what leadership is about; opening new frontiers and refusing to lead from behind.

3) GFCSM doesn't only educate and equip those called into the five-fold ministry but has an extensive vision and resources to equip marketplace leaders from all walks of life.

4) GFCSM is a pace-setting kingdom mandate for the 21st-century church. By the providence of the Almighty God, GFCSM is one of the very few schools of ministry with sound biblical revelations, which you would rarely come across cheaply.

If Jesus Christ said, he was not the light of the world, he would have been telling a lie. If we say GFCSM isn't a pace-setting and groundbreaking 21st-century revolutionary Christian leadership vision, we would simply be telling a lie.

This isn't cheap publicity, but undeniable facts. Jesus wept over Jerusalem for not knowing the time of her visitation.

A new move of God is on the horizon, don't miss out.

Religion is like a virus!

Religion is like a virus; it attacks basic common sense and prudence. It is a baseless and senseless pursuit of God due to inadequate divine illumination. Deliverance from religion is the fundamental requirement in accessing the Divine.

It's interesting to note that, those who crucified Christ were religious people. Why? Christ was a threat to their religious domination, manipulation, and control of the masses.

If Christ returns to earth today, religious people would still seek to kill him. Religion is the most vicious enemy of humankind.

The world is divided between a minority who truly know God and a majority of religious people who believe in God but don't know Him.

Where do you belong?

Dr.Etta

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom. Col 3:16a
