SERMON
* Speaker: Mr. Ellison Domkap
* Topic: 5 Things to Note about Worship
1. The Role of the Church Leadership in Worship
→ Worship cannot be left in the hands of just a unit in the Church
→ It is the duty of the whole Church
→ The Church should appoint those who will be in charge of Worship
* 1st Chronicles 25:1 → "Along with officers in his army, David consecrated to assist in service to the descendants of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun those who prophesy with lyres, harps, and cymbals."
* Church leaders and elders should not be spectators and leave worship to only young people
* Leadership should provide the needed support and atmosphere
2. The role of the worship team
→ The hearts of the worshipers should be connected to God as they worship
* Worship is all about bringing the glory of God down
* Worshippers need to sanctify themselves at all times
* 2 Chronicles 5: 11-14 (Worship at the dedication of the Temple)
* Acts 16:25-26 (Paul and Silas worship in jail)
* Worshippers need to understand the prophetic dimension of worship
* People come with diverse problems and they need to access God's glory for solutions
* Worship is prophesy, not merly singing
* Worshippers need to dwell in the place of prayers
3. Response of Congregation to worship
→ Many people are familiar with worship and therefore, they take it for granted
* There were things that cannot happen unless there is worship
* When you come into the presence of God, do not be just a spectator. Be an active, spirit-filled worshipper
* Worship is all about a whole family, Church and nation
* When you allow the spirit of God to take charge of worship, there will be great manifestation of the power of God
4. Your worship must impact on your Community
→ It starts with your life
→ Worship is communicable: It affects people around you
* when you are not pretending, you are transformed in worship
5. You must be disturbed if the glory of God departs
* If God had used you in time past,
* Are you still carrying God's presence or has God's presence left you?
* Your life must impact those around you
* 2 Kings 13:21 (Man resurrected by bones of Elisha)
* Even after you have left a group or a Church, your impact should still be felt, and ensure that you are connected to God's presence at all times
