Church, let us not go the way of raising our emotions in corporate worship. Note that I am talking about corporate worship & not praise. What is the difference? Praise makes us go high up there: dancing before the Lord, making a joyful noise, lifting holy hands, shouting praises to God, extol & glorify God, etc. You will experience a breaking of all generational curses, & varying oppressions in the process. It sets us free indeed & prepares us for worship. As a spiritual weapon of mass destruction, it is associated with a lot of emotions. However, worship makes us go down at His footstool. That is the position where God speaks to us. We will not hear from God if we do not control our emotions. The Holy Spirit is GENTLE, that is the reason why He was given the symbol of a dove. A dove is a gentle bird. We need to be still in order to hear His still voice. We need to be still in order to worship Him at His footstool, to lie flat down, prostrate in His presence. We cannot effectively do that if our emotions are high. Building emotions in worship hinders our ability to receive guidance & directions from God. We will continue to do wrong things using the same method despite the fact that we have a time for praise & worship at church weekly where power, wisdom & revelation can be released. God wants us to worship Him in spirit & not in the flesh. He wants us to worship Him in truth. If we practice Bible based kind of worship, He sets us free from all things hindering or oppressing us. He reveals Himself to us more & more. Our relationship with God will go deep, deeper & deeper, very close & intimate indeed. We experience His real presence & glory. These we experience them in an increasing measure. The Bible says: Be STILL & know that I am God. I decree in the name of Jesus Christ: Be still, be still. That is key. Amen. The Bible also says: The Lord will fight for you while you remain STILL. Be still & worship the Lord at His footstool. Be guided. It is well with you.
Business God's Way: During this annual shutdown for most businesses, i urge you to rest, have quality time with the family & connect with God. Go for a holiday with the family if you can afford. After that, spend some quality time with God in a quiet place for an hour or so & seek His guidance. Carry your note pad & write the points down. Read your Bible, do meditation & pray. Present your plans to the Lord for the coming year & let Him approve them in His own time & in His own way. Be calm, quiet & composed, in order to hear that small still voice, gentle whisper from God. Result: The voice of God will give you guidance & direction for the coming year 2023. If things have not been okay with you in business, the Lord will enable you to have peace & joy in the midst of such storms. He will give you a way out. Do not panic no matter what comes your way. Remain focused on the perfomance & growth of your business. Do not murmur or complain...
