STRATEGIC
WEAPONS OF WORSHIP
Apostle Andrew Wutawunashe
Romans 1; Jn 4 Exodus 15; Heb
13v8; Exodus 15v2. 1.
Place your strategy of worship in these three sets and use them:
Three ThingsThe Worshipper Must Do
●Acknowledge who God is - God's visible and invisible attributes.
His nature and character ought to be contained in our worship.
● Acknowledge the works of God and His ability - His works in you,
around you, for others and in the nations. Acknowledge His ability in all
things - His Lordship over all.
● Thanksgiving - All true worship should contain thanksgiving. We
give thanks for who God is and for His works. We are receivers of unmerited
grace; of life, of everything that we have, we are and will become. We are a
people of thanksgiving
Three ThingsThe Worshipper Must Achieve.
● True worship builds Unity. It destroys prejudices and
separations and draws you to a place of oneness. Build Oneness. UNITY. Unity is not a feeling but actions.
● True worship transforms
- Make worship a way of life. Create life's dynamic through worship. Be diligent
to build fountains of life where the good, the bad and the ugly will find water
to drink. Release rivers at the place of worship. Put great value on it. If a
preacher preaches after a charlatan has worshipped, his blood pressure rises. If
there was no worship Elisha would not have prophesied.
● True worship releases harvest power by citing Messiah the Man
who told me everything I ever did. Worship is the biggest weapon for the
salvation of lost people.
Three TensesThe Worshipper Must Use
● Past tense - what the Lord has done and has been. When we come
from the past we are mobilising for the present.
● Present - what He is to u and for u today.
● He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Receive things you
have not yet seen as if they were, because He promised, He said so.
High
Praise
Apostle Andrew Wutawunashe
Psalm 149, key verse=vs 6
All
worship is of God. He is Most High and wants
worship to be very high and extreme, with all your heart, generously,
profusely, with volume and quantity, with quality, excellence and seriously. If
worship involves crying, cry like never before, give, jump, sing like never
before
Elements of High Praise
●
They must be uttered – High Praise is
words, issues of God - let them be in our mouths; they must be uttered.
●
Based On God’s Word - the two-edged
sword must be in your hand. God is not looking for clever expressions, study
your bible. Use the word of God and its revelation in your worship. Judge the
content of worship.
● Real - If
you worship God properly it will make you a real person. One of the roots of
homosexuality is lack of worship. Let Psalms be your favourite books, Roman 1.
● Song - The
song is a choice vehicle of high praises and for serving the kingdom. Don’t
listen to junk music during the week and then praise God on Sunday. Treasure
the rhythm in your mind. Allow God to use you as vessels of the song, Psalm 149:1,3
● Music from
instruments - A proper worship department needs timbrels and harps that
must be played skillfully. Play instruments worshipfully; that also requires anointing,Ps 149:3
● Joy - Misery
isn’t spirituality so cast it out. The joy of the Lord is your strength. You
may tremble before God, but tremble with rejoicing. Train yourself in
expressions of joy - Emotion, Passion, Feeling, Ps 149:3
●
Exhortation - The ministry of
exhortation is encouraging others to do something in the way you are doing it.
Whatever you do, people cut it in half, so exaggerate what you do. Be
vivacious, full of manifestations in life
● Dance – Dance
is a covenant with the Holy Ghost. We dance to tell God that the legs are His.
Worship departments must keep everything close to the word of God. It’s not to
keep the young people busy in church. Dance a song full of the word of God. No
Michael Jackson moves in the church- dance unto the Lord.
●Noise – Noise
is a covenant of high praise. There are times to make noise. Victory is a
shout. Do not be irritated by loud prayer -shout and be loud in the house of
the Lord, Psalm149:5
●A New Song – One
that is unknown - sing and pray with understanding and also in the spirit.
Worship God until something of the Spirit comes out.
All worship is a journey. God the Holy
Ghost is the head in charge of the church – on the platform, Learn to sing in
the spirit not to discuss anything with God, just sing! Eph
5; 1Cor 14
● Purpose – A good pastor knows how to
read what has been harvested in worship, knows where the Spirit is. In worship,
poverty is already judged. Bind Spirits with fetters of iron.
●Unity - God’s greatest tool when he
wants to build something is your unity. Unity is not just about feeling nice
towards each other but a choice to do things together. A House of worship will
be built when you begin to break the barriers. Flow together as worship and
choir members. Always make sure to learn the ‘hymn of the month’ every month,
Psalm 149:7-9
Seek
Realities In Worship
Apostle Andrew Wutawunashe
Matt 8:1-4; Gen
28:11-22; Ez3:1-7 and 10-13; 2Chr 20:1-8 and 12-30
●Dedication is our choice -
Dedication
is a spiritual activity of a priest, prophet, leader, that can set aside an
anointing for a people. The house of worship begins with me alone. Our
dedication is to build one house of worship. How much are you prepared to allow
to happen between God and you?
●God values Your Dedication - When you
dedicate yourself, God never forgets. You set the ground for God to come and
set camp with you – everywhere and anywhere you worship
●God rewards worship - The job of a
worshipper rewards more than other jobs. When you get close to God, he does
that to bless you.
Your
worship must have a therefore! Poverty, sin, stupidity is a leprosy. Be ready
for God to remove leprosy by praying well. As I worship you Lord, I have an
account in the future.
●Train children to worship - They must
start worship at home and know that its not only done at church on Sundays.
●Seek Realities in worship – As you
worship seek to see realities in your life - your job, your health, anything
and everything. Religion (also unbelief) kills us. Worship God and experience
his miracles, make worship personal. Persist in worship and the blessings of
God will flow forever. Expect a miracle everyday. Worship God even after He gives you your
requests
