Worship of the Almighty God is the chief occupation of a Christian.
It cost God His Son, for us to be able to worship Him.
God had to turn away from His Son, so that we could turn to Him in worship.
It has always been with a mighty hand that God has brought man to Himself.
Even in the passage that was read to us.
Statistics: Ex 12:37 – 600,000 men on foot, aside from children.
When the people of Israel set out to worship, it was as if the whole city of Toronto leaving Canada.
About 3 million people and God provided for them in the wilderness, for forty years.
::Food consumption for 40 years::
Food: 58 million tons.
Water: 160 Billion gallons
Toronto’s Garbage: 4,000 tonnes a day.
Ex 5: 1 – Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.
or Worship me or Serve me.
So what is WORSHIP?
What does it mean when we say worship in truth and spirit.
I understand worshipping in spirit, but what does worshipping in truth mean.
Know the truth- know the Lord or understand the meaning of worship.
Why is it there are times of dryness within the spirit even after we come together for worship?
Why aren’t our younger saints caught up in the excitement of worship.
::DEFINITION::
Worship is Constant living (24/7), of our Complete being (our life and our assets), Consecrated to the glory of God.
It is a high call you and I have received and God demands nothing less.
::Focus:: Both our lives and our corporate worship.
Let God speak with you today.
We need to pay good attention to what is top priority for God.
Boss and work.
Student in an test, knows what the teacher has said is important.
:: SHARE:: From this passage…
1.
Four (4) thoughts that stirred my heart.
2. Four (4) aspects that worship must mean to us.
3. Four (4) compromises with the world that we must avoid when we worship.
Let’s explore:
A Four (4) Thoughts : VERY QUICKLY
Ex 5: 2 – “I know not the Lord”.
The reason the world ignores our Lord—they don’t know Him.
Vs 7-8: Additional work is thrust.
For the world spiritual activity is a spare time activity.
If you live a life of true worship, would the world know your Lord better?
Ex 5:20 -- FOR THE ELDERS.
On their way back from Pharaoh, the people of Israel stood in the way.
The response of Moses and Aaron was Vs 22 – They turned to the Lord.
Ps 23: the staff and Thy rod they comfort me.
The rod is for the wild animals
not the sheep.
Elders, leading the flock of God is not an easy job.
It is only by turning to God for every help that you would be able to lead the people of God.
Ex9:5 – THE GRACE OF GOD .And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, Tomorrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.
God is a God of grace.
He gives us time to repent.
“The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9.
Ex 8:10 – THE FOOLISHNESS OF THE WORLD And he said Tomorrow, when asked when should Moses pray to take away the plague.
Also Ex 8:7 and 7:22 – frogs and water turned to blood.
They added to their plague, but couldn’t take away what God had sent.
B Four (4) Aspects of Worship
Ex 4:23 – let my son go, that he may worship .
Worship is about Sonship.
There is Courtship.
God courts you.
How would we behave.
Ex 5:1 – Let my people go, that they may hold a feast.
Worship is about
Satisfaction.
There is a sumptuous fare.
It is a Celebration.
No more hunger no more thirst.
Ex 7:16 – Let my people go that they may serve me.
Worship is about Service.
Ex 10:2 / 8:20/9:1/ 9:13/ 10:3.
There is Commitment.
Five (5) times this phrase is repeated.
Ex 8: 25— Go ye sacrifice to the LORD in the land.
Worship is about Sacrifice.
There is a Cost
C Four (4) Compromises in Worship
I Worship in the Land.
Ex 8:25
The world wants us to worship God in our terms not God’s.
Within our comfort zone.
Stats: Church dropouts of practicing Christians is at its highest.
Worship is not possible in Egypt.
Gen 13: 1-4 –Abraham had to leave Egypt before he could build an altar.
Heb 11:26 – Moses refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter…choosing rather the reproaches of Christ greater riches.
We must leave Egypt to be able to worship.
Ex 8:26 – Sacrificing in Egypt was an abomination to the Egyptians.
So how can you worship without sacrificing.
Ps 137: 3-4 – How can we sing the Lord’s song in a strange place.
Christians are guilty of bringing the world into their Churches.
Easy to blame Mega Churches, we too have:
(Corporate worship)If we ‘endure’ worship.
World tries to decrease pain and increase pleasure.
If worship is just a formality.
The world’s 80-20 principle.
80% show and keeping up appearances for 20% work.
If worship is a duty.
Then like the prodigal’s brother, we parked our bodies in the church and left for a far away land.
God will never allow anything of the wisdom of the world to taint His worship.
Is the Church in the world, or is the world in the Church.
Worship God is His terms.
II Only go ye not far away.
