Text: Luke 17:11-19; Mark 14#
”And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: and they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. …. and Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not many that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.“
When God does an outstanding thing for you, He needs you to come back and say “Thank you”
.
Many times we forget about the miracle worker/healer and we are more focused on miracles and healing
At every point, God is interested in our worship.
God expects you to come back to give Him thanks after every miracle.
God lives inside the praise. God sits on a chair constructed with praise.
Worshiping God is the reason we were created
It is a combination of two old words
Worth and Ship
What is worship?
Worship comes from two words – “Worth” and “Ship“
Worth is something of value, weight, significance, not cheap, not easily despise; while Ship is a suffix or a word you add to another to give it a meaning.
- Worship is a status/skill you use to give something of value to someone who has value.
- Worship is the state of your heart. Music is only an expression of your worship. The value of what you have inside, weight of God on your spirit.
- Worship is not just music, music is worship.
- Worship is how heavy the weight of God is in you.
- Worship is a lifestyle
- When you come to the presence of the Lord to worship, you should not loose-guard.
Biblical examples we can relate worship to
- Mary Magdalene – Mark 14:3 KJV
”And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she broke the box, and poured it on his head.“
- 24 Elders – Revelation 4:8 KJV
”And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.“
