ask yourself : what does worship mean to you?
worship is not something we watch, its actually something we DO ! it needs actions.takes responsibility and participation.
Fact 1 : Everybody worships something. not compulsory to be God. even if we dont worship God, we'll still worship another of his creation.
- it is a response to what we value most !
- the driving force for our everything
How we know we're worshipping something
- we'll be following something on a trail, and at the end of every trail, we'll find a throne. and whatever that lies there, is what we worship. its of the highest importance to us.
Fact 2 : Our Worship is more about what we DO than what we SAY
- worshipping God is not just a saturday / sunday thing. it must be what we are doing, everytime, everywhere.
we're all created by God with a natural mechanism to worship
- ITS ABOUT WHO YOU WORSHIP.
Fact 3 : We are made to Worship God.
all thing are made by God, for God. thats a fact. surely enough, have you ever wondered since you we're small : " who created me ? " and certaintly, we would surely hunger for our maker.
1 ) Worship matters Because i am and ALWAYS will be a worshipper.
- it all goes down to who you'll choose.
- making sure what matters most to us, REALLY matters most to us.
2 ) Worship matters because there is a BATTLE for your worship.
- our common enemy : satan.
- the greatest thing God wants from us : OUR AFFECTION.
so, isn't it logical that satan would want to take that away from you? for he wants to pit himself against God and rebel. Your Worship matters to God, if it didn't, satan wouldn't even have bothered to steal it from God.
3 ) Worship matters because we BECOME what we WORSHIP.
what you WORSHIP ---> what you become obsessed with
what you becoem obsessed with ---> you imitate
what you imitate ---> YOU BECOME
^ todays' sermoms, it really touched me and awakened me.
it let me even search my heart, whether God is the true number 1 in my heart.
i pray that i'll even not be distracted and be swayed. in the midst of serving and trying means to please God. the act of it becomes even more important than God. so, FOCUS is very important.
ive got friends, who claim themselves as Christians. BUT guess what? i'll summarise their life.
- online gaming
- obsession in physical appearance
- not in the spirit of maintaining the unity as a body of Christ
- dont do quiet times
- blaspheme
- dont even SHARE.
how terrible is that? even worse things i shan't mention. Basically, they're full of PRIDE. we dont want that, we should even learn from Jesus Christ that he has set an example where he humbled himself, and the was exalted to the highest place in heaven.
dont JUDGE others, leave it to GOD. just do your part.

ps : Jeremy received Christ today ! :D finally ! im very encouraged that my efforts paid off. and i thank God for even guiding me thru.
To Jeremy : heys ! im glad that you finally awoke ! yes, the key now is your focus and hunger =D keep it. dont even fear the bumpy road that we have to walk, for it is when we grow and strengthen our faith thru trials and tribulations ! dont worry even about facing rejection from family, friends okie? Persecution is by far the BEST and most EFFECTIVE method i known so far, that God uses to purify us :) it is by the going thru of this process where we GROW and we'll be tested for our FAITH. hang on there, for your reward is in heaven ! dont be even affected by people who want to shaken you ! have a clear conscience in what you do and not worry about what they question on what you do ! we're pleasing God, not man ! and God looks at our heart, he knows. so , dont worry if ever people question you, but you know what you doing is Right and your conscience is clear !
