TRUE WORSHIPERS
God the father is in search of a particular caliber of people in every generation (Isaiah 6:8, psalms 89:20). From continent to continent he moves in search of such people who will worship him in spirit and in truth and such people are not common, they are scarce. There are millions of born again Christians all over the world and what one sees in them is different from what God is looking for. God has standards e.g in the days of Noah only 8 people made it, in the days of Moses only 2 people made it, in Jesus’ days only 120 received the baptism of the Holy spirit……..(Romans 6:1)
· True worshipers are those who want to serve God anywhere, not necessarily in Samaria or Jerusalem. You carry the alter of God in you everywhere( Daniel 1:8)
· True worshipers are ready to serve God under any condition that God has allowed (Acts 16:18-26). These men found themselves in prison yet they didn’t say” God, is this our reward for serving you faithfully”? Instead, they declared,” be exalted O Lord above the heavens”. A true worshiper of God must be sold out to God no matter the condition
· True worshipers are ready to lay their lives down for God (Acts 21:11-14, Abraham, Daniel, Esther etc…..)
If there are true worshipers then there are also false worshipers (Mathew 15:8-9)
There is no man who can worship God in spirit and truth when the old man is still alive. Until the flesh and its activities come to an end in a man all he is doing before God as worship will not be accepted. (Galatians 4:12)
Who is the old Man? The adamic nature acquired after the fall of man in the Garden of Eden.
The relationship that has existed between the old man and us has been master/servant or husband/wife. We have obeyed and totally submitted to it, so the old man must die before we can be married to Jesus Christ (Colosians 3:5,1 cor11:2 ) there’s no way you can get into a marriage with a new husband and drag your old boyfriend along!.(Gal.5:16-24)
Works of the old man….. Eph 4:25-31, Eph 5:3-4, 1cor 6:9-10,1tim 1:9-10, Rev 21:8…. Though you have said no to the old man and have nailed it to the cross ,the moment you yield to any of the manifestations above you open the door for its operations once more in your life, this time round it will be a double portion( Matt 12:43-45). Therefore the only way to keep the old man out permanently is in Luke 9:23….a follower of Jesus has no right of his own, you cannot be conscious of yourself and also be a true worshiper of God.
