What is worship? Most of us think of worship as only something we do on a Sunday when there is an excellent band playing. Corporate worship (worshipping together) is undoubtedly a crucial part of worship, but not the sum of it. Worship is far more than that!

Our English word “worship” comes from the word ‘worthship’ or ‘worthiness’. Worship is the inner attitude of the heart when we revere, honour and ascribe Worth to God. We can place priority on who God is in every area of our lives. Worship is therefore something we do every day, in everything we do. Even the way I do my work, as unto God, is worship.

Worship is being God-conscious in all we do. When we turn our focus from ourselves to Him, we worship. When we praise God, we magnify the Lord (Psalms 34:3). Magnifying means to make God big in our lives. The moment we do that, the difficulties and fears the enemy would harass us with begin to fade as we see how big God is. One of the best ways to deal with the attacks of the enemy is to worship. In the Bible we see examples of how when the people of God worshipped, God went before them and dealt with their enemies (2 Chronicles 20:21).

We don't only worship God by singing we worship him with by dancing, clapping, twirling, praising, and raising our voices (Psalms 98:4; Psalms 47:1). We worship not because we do or don’t feel like it, we worship because of WHO God is. He deserves all praise and worship, regardless of our feelings. This is true and proper worship! (John 4:24)

The Power of Breaking Bread

“They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers” (Acts 2:42 NKJV).

Another powerful act of Spiritual warfare is the breaking of bread. When we break bread, we are reminding ourselves that we trust and rely entirely on the finished work of Jesus Christ. As we eat of the bread, we are declaring that his broken body and stripes heal us. As we drink of the wine, we declare that His blood has cleansed us from all our sins. Breaking bread is something we should do often, not only corporately, but also privately in our homes, remembering what Christ has done for us on the cross.
