CHURCH GATHERING AND WORSHIP SERVICES: THE TRUE HEARTFELT SPIRIT OF WORSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP! 

“For we ARE the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit (Human spirit), and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have no CONFIDENCE in the FLESH (Five senses acts)” Philippians 3:3/Emphasis Mine. 

Someone asked me some time ago if I went to Church. 
I paused and looked at the individual to see if she understood the question she was asking me. 

I said, I don’t go to Church, because I am the Church which Christ is building. 

I knew her concept, or intent, was a building where the churches do gather, or are gathering — which could be of any architectural design. 

I simply didn’t want to give the person leverage to think that the Church is the building, not knowing that her very self in Christ Jesus’ stead is the Church. Amen. 

So, when you read about the Church in GALATIA, the Church in EPHESUS, the Church in CORINTH, the CHURCH in COLOSSAE and such like, it’s not about a building but about the people of God — who are the saints, the Brethren, the redeemed of God in Christ Jesus’ stead in those mentioned places. 

“Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead), 2 and all the brethren who are with me, TO THE CHURCHES OF GALATIA” Galatians 1:1-2. 

“Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, 2 TO THE CHURCH OF GOD WHICH IS AT CORINTH, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours” 1 Corinthians 1:1-2. 

“Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, TO THE SAINTS WHO ARE IN EPHESUS, and faithful in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 1:1. 

“Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, 2 TO THE SAINTS AND FAITHFUL BRETHREN IN CHRIST WHO ARE IN COLOSSE: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ” Colossians 1:1-2. 

And sometimes , you will hear some saying that Church services was great and how blessed they are, while others will attribute it to the magnificent building in context – and not really to having a personal encounter with the Father God in Christ Jesus, by the Holy Spirit, through the word. However, I did explained to the person the two side of the coin – about the Church and the Church as a building per se, what the difference there are. 

My concern is that the building has been religiously ascribed by some as Church, especially with denominational concepts; thereby forgetting that if such a place in use becomes a restaurant or playground tomorrow, its essence changes. 

Hence it must be noted that the concept of a building in use can change from what has been considered as Church by some — for the building in use is only the gathering place of you and others — the make-up of the scriptural Church. 

It is worth noting that when that concept of use changes to become a restaurant or leisure centre, for example, then it is no longer a Church building but a restaurant. 

Hence it is very important for one to have insight and foresight in knowing and understanding the very meaning of what Church is all about in context and concept. 

This write-up is also to avoid attributing what is not to it; in order to safeguard our growing in the grace from a wrong foundation of FAITH, but to be wholly built up and established on the FAITH in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

“But rather, you have COME to Mount Zion, even to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to countless multitudes of angels in festal gathering, 23 And to THE CHURCH (assembly) of the Firstborn who are registered [as citizens] in heaven, and to the God Who is Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous (the redeemed in heaven) who have been made perfect, 24 And to Jesus, the Mediator (Go-between, Agent) of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood which speaks [of mercy], a better and nobler and more gracious message than the blood of Abel [which cried out for vengeance]” Hebrews 12:22-24/Amplified Classic Edition. 

As a result of the above, I asked her to rephrase the question to: “Did you attend the Sunday Church Services or gathering today?” 

And I said, YES! I Did. 

For the local church assembly gatherings of respective individual churches are there for a collective cause or causes; and they are there to render what are called SERVICES, which could include — PRAYERS, TEACHING, EVANGELISM, PREACHING, BAPTISM, GIVING, CHARITABLE CAUSES, HOSPITALITY/WELFARE, SEMINARS, FUNERALS, SACRAMENT [COMMUNION], FELLOWSHIP, MUSICAL PRAISES AND WORSHIP, and any other SCRIPTURALLY based ORDINANCES and such like as may be applicable. 

“So let us seize and hold fast and retain without wavering the hope we cherish and confess and our acknowledgement of it, for He Who promised is reliable (sure) and faithful to His word. 24 And let us consider and give attentive, continuous care to watching over one another, studying how we may stir up (stimulate and incite) to love and helpful deeds and noble activities, 25 NOT FORSAKING OR NEGLECTING TO ASSEMBLE TOGETHER [as believers], as is the habit of some people, but admonishing (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:23-25/Amplified Classic Edition. 

In all, what are the HEARTS of TRUE WORSHIP? 

It is of the human spirit engraved by the WORD of God, called the TRUTH, when it is being LED and GUIDED by the Holy Spirit of God towards the acts of WORSHIP and FELLOWSHIP — John 4:22-24; 1 Corinthians 1:9. 

The intent should be intentional, purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling — to WORSHIP God WORTHILY, and SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY, in the FELLOWSHIP of the Brethren — the CALLED OUT people of God, who are ascribed as the CHURCH — the REDEEMED of God — the BODY OF CHRIST JESUS — who is our Saviour and Lord in the communion of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 John 4:20-21 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

HEREIN ARE SCRIPTURAL TRUTH WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“For we ARE the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit (Human spirit), and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have no CONFIDENCE in the FLESH (Five senses acts)” Philippians 3:3/Emphasis Mine. 

“For he is not a Jew, which is ONE OUTWARDLY; neither is that circumcision, which is OUTWARD IN THE FLESH (Five Senses): 29 but he is a Jew, WHICH IS ONE INWARDLY; and circumcision is that of the HEART, in the spirit (Human spirit), and not in THE LETTER; whose PRAISE IS NOT OF MEN, BUT OF GOD” Romans 2:28-29/Emphasis Mine. 

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers WORSHIPPED IN THIS MOUNTAIN; and ye say, that in JERUSALEM is the place where MEN OUGHT TO WORSHIP. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in THIS MOUNTAIN, nor yet at JERUSALEM, WORSHIP the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we WORSHIP: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 BUT THE HOUR COMETH, AND NOW IS, when the TRUE WORSHIPPERS shall WORSHIP the Father in spirit (Human spirit) and in truth (God’s WORD): for the Father SEEKETH such to WORSHIP him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit (Human spirit) and in truth (God’s WORD)” John 4:19-24/Emphasis Mine. 

“The spirit of man is the CANDLE of the Lord, SEARCHING all the INWARD PARTS of the BELLY [BEING]” Proverbs 20:27/Emphasis Mine. 

“But there is a spirit in man: and THE INSPIRATION of the Almighty GIVETH THEM UNDERSTANDING” Job 32:8. 

“The Spirit of God hath MADE me, and the BREATH of the Almighty hath GIVEN ME LIFE” Job 33:4 

“And the Lord God FORMED MAN of the dust of the ground, AND BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE; and MAN became a LIVING soul” Genesis 2:7. 

SUMMARY: 

The message is a prophetic teaching and corrective exhortation titled “CHURCH GATHERING AND WORSHIP SERVICES: THE TRUE HEARTFELT SPIRIT OF WORSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP!” 
It dismantles the misconception that the Church is a building, and establishes that the Church is the people — the redeemed, called-out Body of Christ. It further charges believers to ensure their gathering and worship is Spirit-led, Word-anchored and truth-based, not building-centred or flesh-driven. True worship happens in the human spirit, by the Holy Spirit, in line with God’s Word. 

KEY POINTS: 

  1. THE CHURCH IS PEOPLE, NOT A BUILDING
  • You don’t go to Church. You ARE the Church which Christ is building — Philippians 3:3 
  • Scripture addresses people: “TO THE CHURCHES OF GALATIA” — Galatians 1:1-2, “TO THE CHURCH OF GOD WHICH IS AT CORINTH” — 1 Corinthians 1:2, “TO THE SAINTS WHO ARE IN EPHESUS” — Ephesians 1:1, “TO THE SAINTS AND FAITHFUL BRETHREN IN CHRIST WHO ARE IN COLOSSAE” — Colossians 1:1-2 
  • A building is only a gathering place. If its use changes to a restaurant or leisure centre tomorrow, its essence changes. But the Church remains.
  1. SAFEGUARDING THE FOUNDATION OF FAITH
  • Religious tradition has wrongly ascribed “Church” to buildings and denominational concepts. 
  • This write-up seeks to avoid attributing what is not to it, so believers are not built on a wrong foundation of FAITH. 
  • We must be wholly built up and established on the FAITH in Christ Jesus’ stead — Hebrews 12:22-24  
  1. THE PURPOSE OF GATHERING: SERVICES
  • Rephrased question: “Did you attend the Sunday Church Services or gathering today?” — YES! I Did. 
  • Local assemblies exist for collective causes and to render SERVICES: PRAYERS, TEACHING, EVANGELISM, PREACHING, BAPTISM, GIVING, CHARITABLE CAUSES, HOSPITALITY/WELFARE, SEMINARS, FUNERALS, SACRAMENT [COMMUNION], FELLOWSHIP, MUSICAL PRAISES AND WORSHIP, and other SCRIPTURALLY based ORDINANCES. 
  • “NOT FORSAKING OR NEGLECTING TO ASSEMBLE TOGETHER [as believers]… but admonishing… one another” — Hebrews 10:25/Amplified
  1. THE HEARTS OF TRUE WORSHIP
  • True worship is of the human spirit engraved by the WORD of God, called the TRUTH, when it is LED and GUIDED by the Holy Spirit — John 4:23-24 
  • “For we ARE the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit (Human spirit), and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have no CONFIDENCE in the FLESH” — Philippians 3:3 
  • “Circumcision is that of the HEART, in the spirit… whose PRAISE IS NOT OF MEN, BUT OF GOD” — Romans 2:29 
  • “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit and in truth” — John 4:24 
  • The intent must be intentional, purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling — to WORSHIP God WORTHILY, and SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY in the FELLOWSHIP of the Brethren — the BODY OF CHRIST JESUS — in the communion of the Holy Spirit — 2 Corinthians 13:14
  1. THE SPIRITUAL REALITY BEHIND WORSHIP
  • “The spirit of man is the CANDLE of the Lord” — Proverbs 20:27 
  • “The BREATH of the Almighty hath GIVEN ME LIFE” — Job 33:4 
  • “God FORMED MAN… AND BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE” — Genesis 2:7 
  • Worship is not outward, not location-based, not flesh-driven. It is inward, Spirit-originated.  

CALL TO ACTION 

  1. RENEW YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF CHURCH. Stop seeing Church as a building. Recognise yourself and other believers as the Church, the Body of Christ — 1 Corinthians 12:27 
  2. ATTEND GATHERINGS WITH PURPOSE. When you gather, go for SERVICE — to pray, learn, give, fellowship and worship. Don’t forsake assembling — Hebrews 10:25 
  3. WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. Let your worship be led by the Holy Spirit and anchored in the Word. Reject fleshly, performance-based worship — John 4:23-24 
  4. GUARD YOUR FOUNDATION. Be built on Christ, not on buildings, denominations, or religious tradition. Grow in the grace and truth — Ephesians 2:20-22 
  5. LIVE AS THE CHURCH DAILY. You are the custodian of God’s presence. Carry the reality of Mount Zion, the heavenly Jerusalem into your daily life — Hebrews 12:22 

Final Charge: 
Buildings can be renamed. The Church cannot. Worship is not a place you go to. It is who you are in Spirit and in Truth.

TO MAKE A SENSE OF TRUE WORSHIP AND SERVICES TO GOD 

By Leave a Comment

TO MAKE A SENSE OF TRUE WORSHIP AND SERVICES TO GOD: THIS IS BY FELLOWSHIP – IT’S WHAT ENSURES OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD! 

“. . . 23 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. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that WORSHIP him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24. 

It’s time to enhance your RELATIONSHIP with God through the act of FELLOWSHIP – it’s called WORSHIP. 

“For we are the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit, and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have NO CONFIDENCE in the FLESH [Senses]” Philippians 3:3/Emphasis Mine. 

It is a gracious and graceful thing to WORSHIP God WORTHILY and to SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY; however, true and genuine acts of WORSHIP and SERVING flow from FELLOWSHIP with Christ Jesus. 

This is what ENSURES and ENHANCES our RELATIONSHIP with Father God in Christ Jesus by the indwelling Holy Spirit that has been given to us. 

And it is into this place of FELLOWSHIP that Father God has CALLED us — to deepen, to strengthen, and to enjoy our RELATIONSHIP with Him in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9. 

“And HOPE MAKETH NOT ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5. 

And this act of FELLOWSHIP to ensure our RELATIONSHIP with Father God is manifested within and through our spirit to the Father God, in the light of God’s Blessed WORD, and empowered by the indwelling working of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 
1 John 4:19 
“We love him, because he first loved us.” 
Philippians 3:3 
“For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.” 

By virtue of Salvation — being Born Again — born from above — in REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, we have RELATIONSHIP with God. 
And this RELATIONSHIP gives us ACCESS by faith to the nature of God, which sets us apart as a holy person and people unto God; and to the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Christ — in order to stand before Him unashamed, undaunted, guiltless, unafraid, and not inferior. 

And the result of our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus is to have and to keep a healthy RELATIONSHIP with God. 
But to enhance and ensure that RELATIONSHIP, in order to THRIVE and be FULFILLED in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus, we must FELLOWSHIP — the unhindered, conscious reverence of God, worthily and acceptably in WORSHIP and SERVICE. 

One great act of FELLOWSHIP is to intentionally and consciously render WORSHIP and SERVICE to God in Christ Jesus. 

Worship and Service, in this context, is the dedication of your triune being to God in an unhindered 24/7 channel of communication. 
Meaning it is not only when you are in a positioned and customised place and the like, but the total opening of your spirit being always towards Father God, in order to have unhindered communication at all times. 
That is the WORSHIP and SERVICE birthed in the human spirit by the Holy Spirit, in the light of the WORD, unto God the Father in Christ Jesus. 

Also, this act of WORSHIP and SERVICE in fellowship is NOT the mere religious idea of lifting hands and singing praises ONLY while in a collective gathering with a leading choir directing, after which there is no further room for communication until another scheduled meeting. 

True, genuine, and WORTHY WORSHIP and SERVICE is you in fellowship with God with your spirit, through His WORD, by the Holy Spirit, in Christ Jesus, irrespective of where you are — with many or alone. 
It is not about the noise or the shouting, but your spirit communing, in communion and in tune with the Holy Spirit unto Father God, in Christ Jesus, by the WORD. 

A SENSE OF TRUE WORSHIP AND SERVICE is summed up as the act of welcoming, accessing, and giving heavenly permission in your earthly affairs without prejudice, through your spirit, by the Holy Spirit, in the WORD of God. 

One cannot claim to WORSHIP and SERVE God and be a WORSHIPPER of God apart from His WORD and apart from the Holy Spirit in the human spirit. 

I pray that you will take the necessary steps to enhance your RELATIONSHIP with God through the act of FELLOWSHIP — it is called WORSHIP AND SERVICE. 
I pray you receive UNDERSTANDING. 
Be BLESSED in life and in grace, in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus. 
Amen.  

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. Amen. 

“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” Revelation 4:11. 

“For we are the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit, and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have NO CONFIDENCE in the FLESH (Senses” Philippians 3:3 ( Emphasis Mine). 

“For he is NOT a Jew, which is one OUTWARDLY; neither is that circumcision, which is OUTWARD in the FLESH (SENSES): 29 but he is a Jew, which is one INWARDLY; and circumcision is that of the HEART, in the spirit, and not in the LETTER; whose praise is not of men, but of God“ Romans 2:28-29 (Emphasis Mine). 

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9. 

“And we know that ALL THINGS work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he CALLED, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30. 

“. . . 23 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. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that WORSHIP him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24. 

” I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I LIVE; yet not I, but Christ LIVETH in me: and the life which I now LIVE in the FLESH (BODY OF SENSES) I LIVE by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me” Galatians 2:20 (Emphasis Mine). 

“For to me, to LIVE is Christ [He is my source of joy, my reason to live] and to die is gain [for I will be with Him in eternity]” Philippians 1:21. 

SUMMARY: 

The message talks about TRUE WORSHIP AND SERVICE TO GOD, and that it is only made sense of through FELLOWSHIP — because fellowship is what ENSURES and ENHANCES our RELATIONSHIP with God. 

  1. THE DEFINITION OF TRUE WORSHIP

The message begins by establishing the standard Jesus gave. 
John 4:23-24 
“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.” 

Therefore, God is not seeking performers. He is seeking worshippers whose spirit is aligned with Him. 
Philippians 3:3 
“For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.” 

  1. FELLOWSHIP IS OUR CALLING

The message emphasises that salvation brought us into more than forgiveness. It brought us into FELLOWSHIP. 
1 Corinthians 1:9 
“God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.” 

By virtue of being Born Again — born from above — in REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, we now have RELATIONSHIP with God. 
This RELATIONSHIP gives us ACCESS by faith to God’s nature. It sets us apart as holy unto God and clothes us with the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Christ, so we can stand before Him unashamed, undaunted, guiltless, unafraid, and not inferior. 
Romans 5:5 
“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” 

  1. WHAT WORSHIP AND SERVICE TRULY IS

The message clarifies that it is gracious to WORSHIP God WORTHILY and to SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY. 
But true and genuine acts of WORSHIP and SERVICE flow from FELLOWSHIP with Christ Jesus by the indwelling Holy Spirit. 

Worship and Service here means the dedication of your triune being to God in an unhindered 24/7 channel of communication. 
It is not restricted to a building, a choir, or a scheduled service. 

True, genuine, and WORTHY WORSHIP and SERVICE is your spirit in fellowship with God, through His WORD, by the Holy Spirit, in Christ Jesus — whether alone or with others. 
It is not about noise or shouting, but about your spirit communing and being in tune with the Holy Spirit unto Father God by the WORD. 

A SENSE OF TRUE WORSHIP AND SERVICE is the act of welcoming, accessing, and giving heavenly permission in your earthly affairs without prejudice, through your spirit, by the Holy Spirit, in the WORD of God. 

  1. WHAT TRUE WORSHIP IS NOT

The message warns against religious routine. 
True worship is NOT only lifting hands and singing in a gathering, after which there is no further communion until the next meeting. 

Romans 2:28-29 
“For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: but he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.” 
God desires inward reality, not outward display. 

  1. THE PURPOSE AND RESULT OF FELLOWSHIP

To enhance and ensure our RELATIONSHIP with God, and to THRIVE and be FULFILLED in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus, we must FELLOWSHIP. 

We were CALLED and PREDESTINATED for this: 
Romans 8:28-30 
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son… whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.” 

This life is Christ living through us: 
Galatians 2:20 
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” 
Philippians 1:21 
“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” 

  1. THE HEART OF IT ALL

All worship ultimately points to God’s worth: 
Revelation 4:11 
“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.” 

IN ONE SENTENCE: 

The message talks about how TRUE WORSHIP AND SERVICE is FELLOWSHIP — a Spirit-led, Word-based, 24/7 communion of your spirit with Father God in Christ Jesus that secures your relationship, empowers godly living, and brings your life into alignment with God’s pleasure. 

I pray you receive UNDERSTANDING to enhance your RELATIONSHIP with God through FELLOWSHIP — it is called WORSHIP AND SERVICE. 
Be BLESSED in life and in grace, in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus. Amen.

TO MAKE A SENSE OF TRUE WORSHIP AND SERVICES TO GOD: THIS IS BY FELLOWSHIP – IT’S WHAT ENSURES OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD!

“. . . 23 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. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that WORSHIP him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24.

It’s time to enhance your RELATIONSHIP with God through the act of FELLOWSHIP – it’s called WORSHIP.

“For we are the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit, and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have NO CONFIDENCE in the FLESH [Senses]” Philippians 3:3/Emphasis Mine.

It’s a gracious and graceful spirit to WORSHIP God WORTHILY and to SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY; however,  a true and genuine act of WORSHIP and SERVING is the FELLOWSHIP in Christ Jesus stead – this is what ENSURES and ENHANCES our RELATIONSHIP with the Father God in Christ Jesus by the indwelling Holy Spirit that’s given to us; and as such, we’ve been CALLED by Father God into this place of FELLOWSHIP to enhance our RELATIONSHIP with Him in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“And HOPE MAKETH NOT ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

And this act of FELLOWSHIP to ensure our RELATIONSHIP with Father God is been manifested within and through our spirit being to the Father God, in the light of God’s Blessed WORD, and empowered by the indwelling working of the Holy Spirit. Amen. [1 John 4:19-24; Philippians 3:3].

By virtue of Salvation – being Born Again (born from above) – in REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, we have a RELATIONSHIP with God. This RELATIONSHIP gives us ACCESS by faith to God’s nature, setting us apart as a  Holy person and people unto God; It also grants us the RIGHTS – the righteousness of Christ – enabling us to stand before Him unashamed, undaunted, guiltless, unafraid and not inferior; the resultant effect of our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, is maintaining a healthy RELATIONSHIP with God. To enhance and ensure this  RELATIONSHIP, and  to THRIVE and be FULFILLED in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus, we need to engage in FELLOWSHIP – the unhindered, conscious reverence of God –  worthily and acceptably in WORSHIP and SERVICE.

One great acts of FELLOWSHIP is to intentionally and consciously render WORSHIP and SERVICE to God in Christ Jesus stead. Worship and Service in this context – is the dedication of your triune being to God in an unhindered 24/7 channel of communication. Meaning it’s not necessarily only when you are in the acts of positioned and customised spot and such likes, but in total opening of your spirit being always and towards Father God in order to ease and have unhindered communication whenever. That’s the WORSHIP and SERVICE borne in the human spirit by the Holy Spirit, guided by  the WORD, unto God  the Father through Christ Jesus. This act of WORSHIP and SERVICE in fellowship goes beyond mere religious rituals, such as of the accustomed lifting hands and singing in praises ONLY while in a collective group gathering with a leading choir directing, wherein afterwards there’s no further room of communication until another customised statuesque.

True worship and service are borne in the human spirit by the Holy Spirit, guided by the Word, unto God the Father through Christ Jesus. This act of worship and service in fellowship goes beyond mere religious rituals, such as collective gatherings with choirs and praises, where connection with God is limited to those moments. Rather, it’s a deeper, ongoing communion with God.

The True, genuine and WORTHILY Worship and Service is you in fellowship with God with your spirit being through His WORD by the Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus stead, irrespective of where you are – with many or alone. It’s not about the noise or shouting but your spirit communing or in communion and in tune with the Holy Spirit unto the Father God in Christ Jesus stead by the WORD. Amen.

A SENSE of TRUE WORSHIP and SERVICE is summed as the act of welcoming, accessing and giving the heavenly permission in your earthly affairs without prejudice through your spirit being by the Holy Spirit in the WORD of God. One can’t acclaim to WORSHIP and SERVE God without being a WORSHIPPER of God, guide by His WORD and empowered by the Holy Spirit in the human spirit being.

I pray that you will take on the necessary measures for you to enhance your RELATIONSHIP with God through the act of FELLOWSHIP – it’s called WORSHIP AND SERVICE.

I pray that you get UNDERSTANDING. Be BLESSED in life and grace in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. Amen.

CHURCH GATHERING AND WORSHIP SERVICES: THE TRUE HEARTFELT SPIRIT OF WORSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP!

“For we ARE the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit (Human spirit), and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have no CONFIDENCE in the FLESH (Five senses acts)” Philippians 3:3. (Emphasis Mine).

Someone ask me sometimes ago if I went to Church. I pause and looked at the individual if she understood the question she was asking me. I said I don’t go to Church, because I am the Church which Christ is building. I knew her concept or intent was a building where the Churches do gather or are gathering, which could be of any architectural design. Simply because I didn’t want to give the person a leverage to think that the Church is the building but her very self in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And while some will say that Church services was great and how blessed they are others will attribute it to the magnificent building instead.

My concern is that the building has been religiously ascribed by some as Church, especially with the denominational concepts; thereby forgetting if such a place in use becomes a restaurant or playground tomorrow, it’s essence changes; hence it must be noted that the concept of the building in use will change of what’s then considered as Church by some – for the building in use is only the gathering place of you and others – the Church – and when that concept of use changes or becomes a restaurant for our example then it’s no longer a Church building but a restaurant. Hence, it’s very important for one to have an insight and foresight of knowing and understanding the very meaning of what Church is all about in the context and concept; and also to avoid attributing what is not to be it in order to safeguard any in building and establishing on a wrong foundation of FAITH on the FAITH in Christ Jesus stead.

As a result of the above intent, I said she should rephrased the question as – Did you attend the Sunday Churches Services or gathering today? And I said YES! I Did. For the local Churches assembly gathering of respective individual Churches are there for a collective cause or causes; and are there to render what is/are called SERVICE/SERVICES which could be – PRAYERS, TEACHING, EVANGELISM, PREACHING, BAPTISM, GIVING, CHARITABLE CAUSES, HOSPITALITY/WELFARE, SEMINAR, FUNERAL, FELLOWSHIP/COMMUNION and MUSIC/WORSHIP and other SCRIPTURALLY based ORDINANCES and such like the more as may be applicable.

In all, what is the HEARTS of a TRUE WORSHIP? It’s of the human spirit engraved by the WORD of God, called the TRUTH, when it’s being LED and GUIDED by and of the Holy Spirit of God towards the acts of WORSHIP and FELLOWSHIP – (John 4:22-24; 1 Corinthians 1:9). The intent should be intentional, purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling for to WORSHIP God WORTHILY, and SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY, in the FELLOWSHIP of the Brethren – the CALLED out people of God, that are ascribed as the CHURCH – the REDEEMED of God – the BODY OF CHRIST JESUS – who is our Saviour and Lord in the communion of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 John 4:20-24.

“For he is not a Jew, which is ONE OUTWARDLY; neither is that circumcision, which is OUTWARD IN THE FLESH (Five Senses): 29 but he is a Jew, WHICH IS ONE INWARDLY; and circumcision is that of the HEART, in the spirit (Human spirit), and not in THE LETTER; whose PRAISE IS NOT OF MEN, BUT OF GOD” Romans 2:28-29. (Emphasis Mine).

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers WORSHIPPED IN THIS MOUNTAIN; and ye say, that in JERUSALEM is the place where MEN OUGHT TO WORSHIP. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in THIS MOUNTAIN, nor yet at JERUSALEM, WORSHIP the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we WORSHIP: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 BUT THE HOUR COMETH, AND NOW IS, when the TRUE WORSHIPPERS shall WORSHIP the Father in spirit (Human spirit) and in truth (God’s WORD): for the Father SEEKETH such to WORSHIP him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit (Human spirit) and in truth (God’s WORD)” John 4:19-24.

TO MAKE SENSE OF TRUE WORSHIP AND SERVICES TO GOD: THIS IS BY FELLOWSHIP – IT’S WHAT ENSURES OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD!

“. . . 23 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. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that WORSHIP him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24.

It’s time to enhance your RELATIONSHIP with God through the act of FELLOWSHIP – it’s called WORSHIP.

“For we are the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit, and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have NO CONFIDENCE in the FLESH [Senses]” Philippians 3:3/Emphasis Mine.

It’s a gracious and graceful spirit to WORSHIP God WORTHILY and to SERVE tim ACCEPTABLY; however,  a true and genuine acts of WORSHIP and SERVING is the FELLOWSHIP in Christ Jesus stead – this is what ENSURES and ENHANCE our RELATIONSHIP with the Father God in Christ Jesus by the indwelling Holy Spirit that’s given to us; and as such, we’ve been CALLED by Father God into this place of FELLOWSHIP to enhance our RELATIONSHIP with Him in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“And HOPE MAKETH NOT ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

And this act of FELLOWSHIP to ensure our RELATIONSHIP with Father God is been manifested within and through our spirit being to the Father God, in the light of God’s Blessed WORD, and empowered by the indwelling working of the Holy Spirit. Amen. [1 John 4:19-24; Philippians 3:3].

By virtue of Salvation – being Born Again (born from above) – in REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, we have RELATIONSHIP with God. And this RELATIONSHIP gives us ACCESS by faith to and with God’s nature which sets us apart as a Holy person and people unto God; and to the RIGHTS – the righteousness of Christ – in order to stand before Him unashamed, undaunted, guiltless, unafraid and not inferior; and the resultant of our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, is to having and keeping a healthy RELATIONSHIP with God; but to enhance and ensures that RELATIONSHIP, in order to THRIVE and be FULFILLED in LIFE and GODLY LIVING, in Christ Jesus, we need to FELLOWSHIP – the unhindered conscious reverence of God worthily and acceptably in WORSHIP and SERVICE.

One great acts of FELLOWSHIP is to intentionally and consciously render WORSHIP and SERVICE to God in Christ Jesus stead. Worship and Service in this context – is the dedication of your triune being to God in an unhindered 24/7 channel of communication. Meaning it’s not necessarily only when you are in the acts of positioned and customised spot and such likes, but in total opening of your spirit being always and towards Father God in order to ease and have unhindered communication whenever. That’s the WORSHIP and SERVICE bore in human spirit by the Holy Spirit in the light of the WORD unto God the Father in Christ Jesus stead. Also, this act of WORSHIP and SERVICE in fellowship is NOT the mere religious thinking of the accustomed lifting hands and singing in praises ONLY while in a collective group gathering with a leading choir directing, wherein afterwards there’s no further room of communication until another customised status quo.

The True, genuine and WORTHILY Worship and Service is you in fellowship with God with your spirit being through His WORD by the Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus stead, irrespective of where you are – with many or alone. It’s not about the noise or shouting but your spirit communing or in communion and in tune with the Holy Spirit unto the Father God in Christ Jesus stead by the WORD. Amen.

A SENSE of TRUE WORSHIP and SERVICE is sum as the act of welcoming, accessing and giving the heavenly permission in your earthly affairs without prejudice through your spirit being by the Holy Spirit in the WORD of God. One can’t acclaim to WORSHIP and SERVE God and be a WORSHIPPER of God, beside His WORD and by Holy Spirit in the human spirit being.

I pray that you will take on the necessary measures for you to enhance your RELATIONSHIP with God through the act of FELLOWSHIP – it’s called WORSHIP AND SERVICE.

I pray you get UNDERSTANDING. Be BLESSED in life and grace in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. Amen.

CHURCH GATHERING & WORSHIP SERVICES: The True HEARTFELT Spirit Of Worship And Fellowship!

Someone ask me sometimes ago if I went to Church. I pause and looked at the individual if she understood the question she was asking me. I said I don’t go to Church, because I am the Church which Christ is building. I knew her concept or intent was a building where the Churches do gather or are gathering, which could be of any architectural design.

My concern is that the building ascribed as some as Church, if it becomes a restaurant or play ground tomorrow, the concept of the building in use will change of what it’s considered then as Church by some, as the building concept changes or becomes a restaurant. Hence it’s very important for one to have an insight and foresight of knowing and understanding the very meaning of what Church is in concept; and what it truly means in the Christian Faith of Christ Jesus as we live in His stead.

As a result, I said she should reframe the question as – Did you attend Sunday Churches Services or gathering today? And I said YES! I Did. The local Churches gathering of respective individual Church for a collective cause or causes to render what is/are called SERVICE/SERVICES which could be – PRAYERS, TEACHING, EVANGELISM, PREACHING, BAPTISM, GIVING, CHARITABLE CAUSES, HOSPITALITY/WELFARE, SEMINAR, FELLOWSHIP/COMMUNION and MUSIC/WORSHIP and other SCRIPTURALLY based ORDINANCES and such like the more . . .

In all, what is the HEARTS of a TRUE WORSHIP? It’s of the human spirit engraved by the WORD of God, called the TRUTH, when it’s being LED and GUIDED by and of the Holy Spirit of God towards the acts of WORSHIP and FELLOWSHIP – (John 4:22-24; 1 Corinthians 1:9). An intent should be intentional, purposeful and meaningful To WORSHIP God WORTHILY, and SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY, in the FELLOWSHIP of the Brethren – the CALLED out people of God, that are ascribed as the CHURCH – the REDEEMED of God – the BODY OF CHRIST JESUS – who is our Saviour and Lord in the communion of the Holy Spirit. 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 John 4:20-24.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

HEREIN ARE SCRIPTURAL TRUTH WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For WE ARE the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit (Human spirit), and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have no CONFIDENCE in the FLESH (Five senses acts) “ Philippians 3:3. (Emphasis Mine)

“For he is not a Jew, which is ONE OUTWARDLY; neither is that circumcision, which is OUTWARD IN THE FLESH (Five Senses): 29 but he is a Jew, WHICH IS ONE INWARDLY; and circumcision is that of the HEART, in the spirit (Human spirit), and not in THE LETTER; whose PRAISE IS NOT OF MEN, BUT OF GOD” Romans 2:28-29. (Emphasis Mine).

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers WORSHIPPED IN THIS MOUNTAIN; and ye say, that in JERUSALEM is the place where MEN OUGHT TO WORSHIP. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in THIS MOUNTAIN, nor yet at JERUSALEM, WORSHIP the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we WORSHIP: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 BUT THE HOUR COMETH, AND NOW IS, when the TRUE WORSHIPPERS shall WORSHIP the Father in spirit (Human spirit) and in truth (God’s WORD): for the Father SEEKETH such to WORSHIP him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit (Human spirit) and in truth (God’s WORD)” John 4:19-24. (Emphasis Mine).

“The spirit of man is the CANDLE of the Lord, SEARCHING all the INWARD PARTS of the BELLY (BEING)” Proverbs 20:27 (Emphasis Mine).
