Today we shall be sharing on little things that makes a big difference in our worship. Many of us take these things for granted but they are the spiritual gateways to the supernatural. They may look ordinary but they are the little things that make a great difference in worship.
1. Praise:
Exodus 15:11 teaches us that the Lord is fearful in praises, glorious in holiness, doing wonders; the Lord does wonders as a man of war in praises.
Psalm 150 teaches us to praise in His sanctuary and in the firmament of His power with musical instruments, dances, and with our breath. When we enter the courts of the Lord with thanksgiving and praise, we are ushered into the realm of power.
Paul and Silas praised and prayed at midnight, and the prison gates opened. I see your prison gates opening.
2. Prayer:
The second little thing we should not treat lightly is prayer. Prayer is as incense to God (See Psalm 141:1) God wants us to come boldly before His throne of grace. Your prayer comes before God as a memorial and provokes angelic visitation. In Acts 4:23-24, 31-33, we learn that when the church lifted up their voice, the place they stood shook and they were filled with the Holy Spirit, and with boldness to declare the word. The church began to receive financial and supernatural favour.
3. Lifting up of your hands:
The lifting up of our hands is as the evening sacrifice (See Psalm 141:2). In Exodus 17, the servant of God, Moses, lifted up his hands on the mountain, and the hand of God was stirred in the valley and brought victory to Israel. The lifting up of hands is a little things that makes a big difference. In 1 Timothy 2:8, apostle Paul teaches that men ought to pray everywhere lifting up holy hands without wrath or doubting. When we lift up our hands, fire falls!
4. Appearance and dressing:
This is the 4th little thing that makes a big difference in worship. The early church exhorted women in the church to dress with modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety (See 1 Timothy 2:9-10). The Bible is clear on this. Angels pay attention to these details, and minister when there is decency and sobriety and orderliness in the church (See 1 Corinthians 11:4-10)
5. Saying AMEN at the blessing:
1 Corinthians 14:14-17 teaches that the church ought to say amen at the giving of thanks. The giving of thanks is one of the key things in worship and the saying of Amen is a little thing that makes a big difference.
6. The conduct of the church service:
In 1 Corinthians 14:40, all things are to be done orderly and decently.
Be blessed; I love you!
