Topic: Worship
And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. (Revelation 19:6-10 KJV)
I’d like to conclude the worship series with looking forward to heavenly worship, which it will be at the marriage supper of the Lamb. I believe that our worship to God doesn’t end in our lifetimes in earth, but it will go forever. We do not know what this celebration would be like when we’d enter to the kingdom of God. But the Bible declares that the Heaven will be like Garden of Eden, which God created in the beginning of the world (Genesis 1-3) without the sun, moon, and stars.
I started reading the book on Heaven by Pastor Randy Alcorn from Eternal Ministries Perspective. In his book, Alcorn explained why most people want to go to Heaven with shortcut. They want to go to Heaven without establishing their relationships with Jesus Christ. That’s what the religions teach to people today. We can go to church denominations and learn many doctrines to worship and establish relationship with Jesus Christ, but it will become useless. Jesus gave us two simple commands—love God and love other people—but we’d come up with doctrines and theories to complicate what God is trying to saying to us. The Bible is the only reliable resource that God gave us.
I believe there will be dozens of us worshipping God in Heaven. But we need to worship God while we are still living here. Going to Sunday service to worship God is not enough to build our relationship with Him. This is everyday and ongoing process. Think about if we’d have air only on Sunday, then we’d all die after 12 AM would hit on Monday. We can’t grasp what our worship in Heaven would be like, but we can taste it here.
I don’t think my worship to God is the same as ten years ago or one day ago. We’d need to boost our worship to God each day, so Satan could not able to defeat us. We need to be true worshippers of God (see John 4:23-24).
