Paalala No. 3
-PURSUE EXCELLENCE. The word ‘excel’ is defined as “be exceptionally good at or proficient in an activity or subject according to Oxford dictionary.” Syempre, hindi basta-basta ang ating Hari. Nararapat lamang na ibigay natin ang ating BEST. Kung lampas pa nga ng 100% ang magagawa natin para sa Kanya, bakit hindi natin ibigay, diba? HE DESERVES our ALL. Todo na ‘to! Kanta kung kanta. Sayaw kung sayaw. Tugtog kung tugtog. Talon kung talon!
-KEEP A PURE HEART OF WORSHIP. Pagdating sa pagsamba sa ating Hari, di mawawala ang HEART ISSUE. Dito papasok ang mga tanong na, "Bakit ka nga ba natugtog, nasayaw o nakanta?", "Para kanino mo ba ito ginagawa?", “Are you a pure vessel of His presence”? Ikaw lang ang makakasagot niyan. Bilang Levites sa panahon ngayon, nararapat lamang na alagaan natin ang ating puso at panatiliin itong DALISAY para sa Kanya. Psalm 24:3-4 says, “Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? And who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood And has not sworn deceitfully.” Anong ibig sabihin nito? Ang kinaluluguran ng Diyos sa harapan ng Kanyang banal na trono ay yung mga mayroon malinis na kamay at pusong dalisay.
Sabi ni Sir John Piper, “God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.” SEEKING HIM WITH A COMPLETE HEART OF LOVE and SURRENDER is the secret of capturing His heart.
Tandaan, di natin trabaho ang pag-capture ng heart ng congregation. Ang Holy Spirit ang may power para gawin yun. We just lead them and worship God with a pure heart. Then the flow of His holy presence will have His way in our midst.
Paalala No. 1
-DEPEND ON THE ANOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. Napakahalaga nito bilang worship ministers. Di dapat tayo umasa sa sarili nating galing dahil apart from God we can do NOTHING (John 15:5). Yari kapag puro yabang lang sa stage, walang mangyayari. Depend on Him, not on yourself. Isa sa mga sobrang dependent sa power ng Lord na worshipper sa Bible ay si King David. Sabi niya sa Psalm 23:5b, “You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows.” God has chosen us be part of this team and He’s the One Who can anoint us. And most importantly, let us always be led by His Spirit. By this, we can be assured that we are doing what God wants us to do as we lead people. At kapag ang Holy Spirit na ang kumilos, madaming amazing things ang nangyayari. Katulad nalang noong panahon nila Peter and John in Acts 4:31, it says, “After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit.” And let’s remember, that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom (2 Cor. 3:17).
TANDAAN: Ang tatlong paalalang ito ay hindi puwedeng magkakahiwalay. Mayroon ngang Excellence, wala namang Pure heart at Anointing ng Holy Spirit, wala rin. Connected silang lahat. Kaya naman, ihanda ang sarili. As Joshua says to the Israelites, "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you." Joshua 3:5

FAVORITE QUOTES ABOUT WORSHIP :
