Re-defining True Worship with Apostle Joshua Selman & Dunsin Oyekan (Restoring the Order 2026) · Selah Media House

0:00
Amazing time of worship. Let's honor Dunsin.
0:03
Goodness, goodness. I mean, if, if every home is
0:07
like this, I think they'll not be prisons again, I'm telling
0:10
you Amen. But I'm really honored to be
0:13
here, Dunsin. Thank you.
0:14
Thank you so much. And I like us to look at a few
0:19
scriptures. Just to add, I was thinking to
0:23
myself this morning, preparing, just going through my notes, and
0:27
the Lord impressed it on my heart to teach on redefining
0:32
true worship, redefining true worship.
0:35
And so very briefly, I'd like us to consider that concept.
0:39
And we'll be looking at three things.
0:40
Essentially #1 we'll be understanding what worship is by
0:45
the grace of God. And then #2 we'll be considering
0:48
a worshipper. When we say someone is a
0:50
worshipper, what is God's idea of a worshipper?
0:53
And then #3 we'll be looking at the pattern for true worship.
0:58
These three things I hope will be able to look wherever we're
1:01
able to stop. It's a family meeting.
1:03
So I think I have the liberty when it gets to me and I stand
1:06
up. Don't mind, it's just the
1:07
preacher. Amen.
1:09
Father, we thank you. The entrance of your ward gives
1:12
light and it gives understanding onto the simple.
1:15
Our hearts are opened and we pray that you will speak to us
1:20
in Jesus name. We pray now all over the world,
1:25
every religion, almost every faith practice.
1:28
We talk about the concept of worship on Sunday.
1:31
You see people going to church and they'll tell you we're going
1:34
to worship, you know. But what exactly is worship
1:37
from, you know, a general understanding and then the
1:40
Bible's understanding. Worship generally has to do with
1:46
three things. One reverence #2 adoration #3
1:53
honor, just a general concept. So when you talk about
1:57
worshipping a person or a thing, it's an attempt to describe
2:03
honor, reverence, and then a duration to that person or that
2:09
thing. Now, because we're Kingdom
2:11
people, let's zoom it down to the Bible's understanding.
2:14
The word worship comes from a Hebrew word shaka, the primary
2:19
word translated worship. Is the word shakah
2:22
SHACHAHSHACHAH, and the meaning of shakah is to bow, it means to
2:36
kneel, it means to prostate, it means to fall down, all as an
2:43
expression of your honor and your reverence to a deity.
2:48
Can I take that again? So the word shaka, that is
2:52
translated worship, means one to bow #2 to kneel #3 to fall or to
3:00
prostate, You know, like you see Yoruba people do, how they
3:04
prostate. Yeah.
3:06
And it's an expression of your reverence to a deity, in this
3:11
case to God Almighty. Praise the name of the Lord.
3:14
It's very important. So you see that worship in its
3:18
essence, it's not so much about the activity as it is the
3:23
posture. From this definition, you now
3:26
see that the activity only finds its value when the posture is
3:30
right. Are we together now?
3:33
Praise God. Now the first mention of the
3:35
world worship. Can I do a little background for
3:37
you? Is that fine?
3:38
The first mention in theology does what we call the law of
3:41
first mention. That means when you are dealing
3:44
with a subject, you go to where it was first mentioned and then
3:47
the context with which it was used becomes your compass to
3:51
dealing with that subject. All through Scripture is called
3:54
the law of first mention. And the first place in the Bible
3:58
where worship was used is Genesis 22 and verse 5.
4:03
This was Abraham taking Isaac to go and worship.
4:05
If you remember 22 and verse 1, he took God gives him an
4:09
instruction and says take now your only son and go and
4:13
worship. Now notice the context.
4:14
It was a context of sacrifice. And then he went with the
4:18
people. And when he got to the base of
4:20
the mountain, he now told them, he said, you stay here, give it
4:24
to us, stay here. And then 22 and 5, abide here
4:30
with the donkey and I and the lad will go Yonder to worship.
4:35
That's the word, shaka. I will go to bow.
4:38
I will go to express my reverence, my honor, my
4:42
obedience. Is someone learning now?
4:45
So when we talk about worship, it is not so much about the
4:49
activity. It first talks of the posture of
4:53
reverence, the posture of adoration, are we together and
4:58
the posture of honor. Then it also extends to all the
5:02
activities that seek to express that state.
5:06
Now that's where singing comes, that's where giving comes,
5:09
that's where service comes. You see it now.
5:11
So it first talks of the posture, then it also captures
5:15
all the activities that give expression to that posture
5:20
because that posture is a hard thing and remaining within does
5:26
not give worship its full context.
5:28
So you will need to piece together any kind of, you know,
5:32
the creativity, whether it is clapping, whether it is singing,
5:35
whether it is giving gifts. But those activities can be
5:39
empty if the posture is not there.
5:42
Is is someone getting this now? It's very, very important.
5:45
Hopefully, if we have the time, we'll still connect down to Acts
5:49
15, the Tabernacle of David. Amen.
5:54
So worship in its essence has to do with that spirit of
6:01
reverence. And, and I'm telling you, don't
6:02
see, you see, there's nothing wrong with most of the
6:05
activities that happen as we seek to worship.
6:08
But the reason why it's lacked its power and potency is because
6:14
this posture of reverence, the activity can be correct.
6:18
The lying down, the singing, the crying.
6:22
But Eve, what powers that activity to produce is that
6:25
there is reverence and there is honor for God is someone
6:31
learning. Let's go to John four.
6:33
Let me do John 4 John chapter 4 for context.
6:39
Jesus goes to the well. Let's start from verse.
6:42
We'll start from verse 20, but let me give a little context.
6:45
So Jesus goes to the well and he meets this woman.
6:48
The Bible calls her a Samaritan. Now take note.
6:51
It's important to understand why the Bible described the
6:54
Samaritan because if you understand the concept of the
6:58
Tabernacle of David, let me go ahead of myself.
7:02
It was a prophecy about a future unifying system of worship that
7:08
will no longer depend on a location, what a connection to a
7:13
person, and it would not just be limited to a people group.
7:17
So the Bible then talking about worship starts by talking about
7:20
the Samaritan. Now, historically, Jews and
7:24
Samaritans had nothing in common.
7:27
It was like a lion and a cheetah, a lion.
7:30
And what was that hyena? You see those, those enemies,
7:35
those rivals. So now Jesus meets this woman at
7:38
the well and he begins to tell her, give me water.
7:41
And she's looking at him wondering is this the 6th man or
7:44
the 7th man, you know? And so on and so forth.
7:46
Then they begin a conversation and on hearing him, she
7:49
perceives that no, this is not an ordinary man.
7:51
By the time we get to verse 20, she finally settles that you
7:55
must be a prophet. And as soon as she perceived
7:58
that she was a prophet, now look at this, I want to show you the
8:01
sincerity of this woman's heart. A woman who was seen as a
8:04
prostitute. If you are to talk to Jesus,
8:07
would it be a subject of worship?
8:08
It meant that even though something her life was not in
8:12
place, there was still something.
8:14
There was a there was a burning question within her heart
8:19
because as soon as she perceives that Jesus was a prophet, I
8:22
thought you say, why is my life like this?
8:24
You better tell me. And she leaves the issue of her
8:27
life and goes straight to the issue of worship.
8:30
She said, I've I've been having a burning question.
8:32
Our Father's worship in this mountain.
8:35
Take note, she was location conscious.
8:38
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, but you say that it's
8:42
in Jerusalem, that it should be the place of worship.
8:44
So this is the conflict between the Samaritans.
8:46
These ones are said in Jerusalem, these ones are said
8:49
in the mountain. And Jesus looked at her and he
8:52
said woman is about to make a profound statement, believe me.
8:57
Then he talks of timing. He talks of dispensation.
9:01
An hour is coming. The word our dear does not mean
9:04
Kronos. It means there is an opportune
9:06
time a dispensation is about to arrive where the concept of
9:10
worship will no longer be about location.
9:13
You get it now, where it will neither be in this mountain or
9:17
yet in Jerusalem to worship the now.
9:20
Notice in her describing worship she did not describe the object
9:24
of the worship. She was more conscious about the
9:27
location. Now Jesus is introducing
9:30
something here. He's saying the more important
9:32
aspect of worship is the Father. You omitted that in your
9:37
defining worship. The argument was rather about
9:40
place but not the object. He's correcting her
9:44
understanding is someone learning.
9:45
Now verse 22 it says ye worship ye know not what, but we know
9:53
what we worship for salvation is of the Jews.
9:56
Now here comes the statement but the our commerce Hallelujah.
10:02
And now is when the so he speaks about a time then #2 He speaks
10:10
about a group of people called true worshippers, meaning not
10:14
everybody is in that category true worshippers.
10:17
And then that they shall worship the then He defines the posture
10:23
in spirit and in truth. He says for these kinds of
10:27
people, the Father is seeking such to worship him.
10:32
Then verse 24, He now gives us an information.
10:35
I may not have the time to walk it this night.
10:37
He says God is spirit. The word A there is not a
10:41
correct rendition. God is spirit.
10:44
It's a very important information that as you worship
10:47
God, you must be mindful of the fact that he is spirit and that
10:52
day that worship him must worship him in spirit and in
10:56
truth. Is someone learning now?
10:58
So let's unpack this for a few. I noted a few things here.
11:01
I hope you don't mind that I just looked through my notes.
11:04
Are we learning already? So we established the fact that
11:08
worship has to do with reverence and and all the channels to
11:12
express that reverence onto God. Now let me tell you this, no
11:16
matter what you say, no matter what you do, no matter what you
11:19
give God, if reverence is not there is not worship.
11:23
You can sing, you can give, you can cry.
11:27
The reason why God said the Bible there says God is spirit
11:32
is because in the business of spirits, what powers your
11:36
activity is the heart. So he's saying be mindful that
11:40
God is spirit. That means inverting you and in
11:44
assessing you, He starts from your heart.
11:46
Regardless what the activity is, The concern of spirits is first
11:50
the heart is someone. Is someone learning?
11:55
All right, so Jesus talked about a number of things and I want us
11:59
to look at it very quickly. He talked about time in
12:01
dispensation. Now we know that dispensation
12:05
has come to pass in prophecy. We are in that dispensation
12:09
right now. Are we together now and then #2
12:12
He spoke about true worshippers. I'll speak on that in a bit.
12:16
And then He spoke about the Father, the object of the
12:20
worship. Then He talks about the posture.
12:22
He calls it in spirit and in truth.
12:26
Now, there are three parameters that qualify any activity to be
12:32
called true worship, and this is what I want to bring quickly.
12:35
And we pray. 3 For anyone to be called a worshipper or any
12:41
spiritual activity to be called worship, it must pass through
12:46
this threefold litmus test #1 worship.
12:53
For your worship to be true, there must be a clear definition
12:57
of the object of worship. Your worship cannot be true
13:03
until there is a definition of the object of worship.
13:07
Because you see in the Bible there are a number of entities
13:11
also that want worship. I'll leave a few of them for you
13:14
#1 is your belly. The Bible says your belly is
13:16
also a God, and his seeks worship #2 mammon, mammon 6.
13:25
Worship #3 yourself, the flesh. He wants to enthrone itself and
13:32
to seek worship. Are we together?
13:35
And then #4 the Bible now talks. We'll go to Revelation, and the
13:40
Bible talks of Him who sits on the throne and to the lamp.
13:46
Is someone learning now? So just because you are crying,
13:49
we need to verify who or what is sponsoring that cry.
13:55
I can be rolling on the ground. Is someone learning now and
14:00
saying, I love you with all my heart?
14:02
It's a careless assumption that just because all of us are
14:05
rolling, we're rolling to the same object of worship.
14:08
What makes your worship true? Is someone learning now?
14:14
So when we go to the Book of Revelation, it teaches us
14:17
worship because the elder and I say weep.
14:20
I wept, for no man was worthy to open the book and unlock the
14:24
scrolls. And the elder tapped me and said
14:26
no. And then the Bible says when he
14:29
was taken to the procession of the throne, he saw the 20 and 4
14:35
elders. They cast their golden crown.
14:37
Are we together now when we get to verse 5?
14:40
And so on and so forth. And then he's had a proclamation
14:44
in heaven. Worthy is the Lamb.
14:47
And then they began to worship, and the worship is unto the Lamb
14:52
of unto the one who sits on the throne, and then to the Lamb one
14:59
more time. The worship is to him who sits
15:02
on the throne and to the Lamb. Is someone learning now?
15:06
Yes. So your for your worship to be
15:09
true, it's important that the one you are worshipping is he
15:14
who sits on the throne and the Lamb.
15:20
Most times, situations can make us have a semblance of worship
15:26
and just because the expression is correct, we wonder why we're
15:32
not able to experience the power that should come in worship.
15:35
It is usually because our attention is either on ourselves
15:39
or our pain or our belly. Belly here does not just mean
15:43
hunger luck. Do you know that you can go to
15:46
the place of worship and all you are thinking about is salary
15:49
breakthrough? And there's nothing particularly
15:52
wrong, it's just a breakthrough. It's not Him who sits on the
15:54
throne and to the Lamb. So that can drive you into the
15:58
place of worship. And unknown to you, you are
16:01
practicing idolatry. Sincerely.
16:05
Sincerely. Are we together?
16:11
You see that worship is an act of faith because it demands that
16:14
you forget about any other thing and focus on Him, believing that
16:20
by the time you worship him, you will not live the way you came.
16:23
Now most times when we go to God, we go to God to yell about
16:27
our problems. Lord, I'm, I'm, you are the lion
16:29
of the tribe of Judah. We don't mean what we say.
16:31
So once we are done, say now God, I'm here.
16:33
Now that I'm here, this issue of rent, I'm in trouble.
16:36
But worship demands that the moment you are in his presence,
16:41
he sang it well. Nothing else matters.
16:45
You see that now, once you are there, there is only one object
16:49
of worship, He who sits upon the throne.
16:54
Now how about your challenges while you are worshipping?
16:57
But that's the point. The woman with the alabaster
17:00
box, the reason why she taught us worship was because she had
17:04
legitimate concerns. This woman had a past that was
17:07
disturbing, but the Bible says in the presence of God nothing
17:10
else mattered. Not her hair representing her
17:13
glory, not her pain, not how her life's worth one year's worth of
17:19
sparking at. She broke it at his feet.
17:22
Her entire attention was on Jesus.
17:25
Judas was looking at the economic waste and he said ah,
17:30
this thing would have been given to the poor and Jesus said look
17:32
at this man, you are not even getting the message that she was
17:35
in his presence and she was in the audience of one.
17:39
Let me tell you, you can be in a church full of 10s of thousands
17:42
of people, but the culture of true worship is that the moment
17:47
you posture yourself while using singing, for instance as a case
17:52
study, you must be in the audience of 1.
17:58
To him who sits on the throne and on to the left.
18:37
So what qualifies worship to be true worship is that you must
18:40
define the object of the worship.
18:44
Now whilst you are worshipping God, there are other gods too
18:46
trying to steal into your worship.
18:49
Your belly will cry out his jealousy.
18:53
Why are you forgetting about me and worshiping the king?
18:56
The flesh. That's why he said the spirit is
18:58
willing, but the flesh is weak. Mammon is someone learning now
19:04
#2 very quickly. The second parameter that
19:07
defines true worship is the state of the worshipper, the
19:13
state of the worshipper. This is very important.
19:17
The state of the worshipper is as important as the object of
19:21
worship. You can get it right as far as
19:24
defining the object of worship, God Almighty, but when something
19:29
is wrong with the worshipper, it will corrupt the worship itself.
19:34
Are we together? Yes.
19:38
Living for Jesus is better than preaching for Jesus is better
19:44
than singing for Jesus is better than giving to the walk of the
19:48
Kingdom is better than clapping and crying and even serving
19:52
Jesus. Did you get that living for
19:55
Jesus is better than singing? Clapping?
20:04
In First Samuel, I believe 15 is it verse 22 it says obedience is
20:17
better than sacrifice, and this obedience there right now is a
20:22
measure of your love. You want to understand that what
20:24
obedience you have to go to John 14 and verse 21.
20:27
It says He that keepeth my commands.
20:29
He it is that loveth me, and I will love Him, My Father will
20:33
love him, and we will manifest ourselves to Him.
20:39
You see that now. So when we talk about the state
20:42
of the worshipper, please look at me.
20:44
It's important that the worshipper be broken and
20:48
surrendered as a lifestyle, not a Sunday activity.
20:53
The Bible talks in Psalm 51 about God seeking a broken and a
20:58
contrite heart, a broken and a contrite heart.
21:02
What gives value to my singing? What gives value to my
21:06
preaching? What gives value to whatever
21:08
spiritual activity is? In addition to defining the
21:12
object of worship, it's important that that state of
21:15
brokenness, that state of surrender, Are we together now?
21:19
Surrender and obedience are the clearest proof that you love
21:24
God. Surrender, genuine surrender and
21:29
obedience are the clearest proof that you love God.
21:34
The state of the worshiper matters.
21:37
Yeah, a sincere heart, a sincere love for God, a lifestyle of
21:43
conformity to the image and the character of the Christ.
21:48
If I am to tell you, if you ask me what is wrong with the
21:50
worship ministry, mainstream singing worship ministry, I will
21:54
tell you that most times the worshippers do not know that the
21:58
hard posture of the one who sings is the channel through
22:01
with power and life flows to the people.
22:06
The life of God can flow from God and not get to the people.
22:11
You know how water flows, and then there is a blockade.
22:14
It left the water board, but it did not get to those who came
22:17
testy with their buckets, because something is wrong with
22:21
the vessel. So the Bible says, I beseech
22:25
thee brethren, by the message of God, Romans 12/1 that ye offer
22:30
your bodies, not your songs, present it your bodies, a living
22:35
sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God.
22:39
He calls it your reasonable worship, that that word service
22:43
does not really do it justice, your reasonable act.
22:46
So your first worship is not your special number.
22:49
No, no, it's not the instrument you are playing.
22:52
It's not your offering, it's your heart.
22:57
Yes Sir. Is someone learning?
23:00
Now this is very important. The state of the worshipper is
23:05
what determines the power that flows from the worship.
23:08
Now, let me tell you the truth, there's no time, I know in this
23:11
generation where we have more worshippers.
23:14
I mean, if it's, if it's, if it's the vocal prowess, if it's
23:18
the discipline, if it's the songs, whatever it is.
23:21
But the reason why you can hear a powerful song with no life in
23:25
it is because the life was supposed to come from the
23:28
worshipper. The worshippers altar is what
23:33
powers the wordings and the melodies.
23:35
When you open up your mouth to sing, you reveal your secret
23:38
place. When you open up your mouth to
23:41
sing, you reveal the strength of your altar.
23:45
You see that now? I love you, Lord, and I leave my
23:53
hands to worship you. Take joy, my king, we're about
24:29
to pray in what you hear. Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
24:42
in your ears. Now let me tell you this.
24:47
Five people can sing the same song.
24:51
Same song, same wordings. Musically accurate and one
24:56
person gets healed, someone will raise his voice.
25:00
It's like a fetcher. And I mean it's like you just
25:04
draw from the wells of your secret place and through your
25:07
worship it flows to people and someone else will sing.
25:11
And all you know is that you had a good voice.
25:14
There was no life every time. Great melody does not produce
25:18
power. The problem is the worshipper.
25:24
You see that now? The worshipper.
25:30
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound in your ears while using singing
25:40
as a case study. But it applies to every aspect,
25:44
preaching, living. I told you living for Jesus is
25:48
greater than singing for Him. Just because you are in the
25:52
choir does not mean your secret place is in place and God is
25:58
calling us in this season. Let me tell you this the reason
26:02
why you see, when you understand this, it will culture the kinds
26:07
of songs that come and the wordings.
26:11
And now with all due respect, there are songs when you hear,
26:14
you know that the people might be sincere, but this song did
26:19
not come from the depth of knowing God, because the
26:22
knowledge of God will not allow you to produce this kind of
26:25
song. You see that now the worshipper
26:31
surrender and obedience. Surrender and obedience is the
26:39
greatest proof of love. John, 1421, ladies and
26:43
gentlemen. From those who minister in songs
26:50
to preachers, to all who serve the program of God, it's
26:55
important for us to realize that when the object of our worship
26:58
and our living is defined, the next place of call is you.
27:05
Is you your heart? Your motif?
27:10
I Can't Sing songs because I'm looking for fame.
27:14
I can sing songs, I can preach sermons because I have a career
27:19
that is spiritual in context. Are we together?
27:23
I'm just doing my career. Well, I just happened that God
27:26
called me and I'm trying to do the best.
27:29
You see that now. Now this, this is a very serious
27:34
thing. That's the reason why you find
27:36
out that the life that should come from a worship does not
27:39
come, because the problem is the vessel.
27:43
In one minute, before I give you the last key, can you lift your
27:45
hands wherever you are? What's that song?
27:49
Take my heart and mold it? Can anyone just sing that song
27:53
for me? And those of you who are
27:56
watching from your homes, watching across the globe, can
27:59
you join us? Let this be a moment of
28:02
reconsecration of your person, your heart.
28:17
To yours, sing it one more time, Let it be from the depth of your
28:26
heart. It's a declaration of surrender
28:30
so that you will be a man of God, a worshipper, an individual
28:35
whose life reflects the life of the Christ, the object of our
28:42
worship. To yours, to yours.
29:01
Pray one prayer right now and say, Father, search my heart.
29:05
No careless assumptions. Search my heart.
29:09
It doesn't matter what men call you.
29:11
They call you emoji. They look.
29:13
The business of consecration is a personal affair.
29:18
It is better to not have any public affirmation before men
29:22
and have a testimony of sincerity before God.
29:26
Please open your mouth and pray. In one minute walk upon my
29:29
heart, that my life becomes an expression of the one that I
29:36
worship. That as I worship I am changed.
29:39
A life of surrender, a life of obedience.
30:01
In Jesus name we pray some of the songs that you hear.
30:06
Don't sing Bring. When you hear some of those
30:09
songs, I remember one of his songs, I can't remember which
30:14
now, a few years ago, I was still in Zarya then.
30:20
Just breathe your name upon me. Breathe.
30:26
Just breathe your name upon me. Breathe your name.
30:36
Breathe, Lord, just breathe your name upon me, Marie.
30:43
Sing it one more time and I'll tell you something about that
30:46
song. Just breathe Your name upon me.
30:49
Breathe. Just read your name upon me.
30:56
Breathe. Just bring your name upon me.
31:13
I remember the day that song was going to be released.
31:16
I think we're still in Zarya. Then I was in the living room,
31:21
my living room, worshipping. And literally sometimes I have
31:25
this supernatural experiences happen and I literally was
31:29
sensing a wind just within the house.
31:32
And these are not unusual experiences for me.
31:35
And then I think I went on the Internet and there they had
31:38
released it. And I think we spoke and I said,
31:41
my goodness, look at this. The song breath.
31:46
Now I, I set that to say this. There are certain kinds of songs
31:51
you cannot receive by composing. It is a byproduct of what
31:57
happens to your person in his presence.
32:01
What happens to your person in His presence?
32:05
You see that now? Yes.
32:11
So for many of us, I want us to create an atmosphere that can
32:17
host the presence of God. And when He comes, the first
32:22
assignment should not be to give you a song.
32:24
It should be to change you every time.
32:28
The presence of God, the manifested presence of God is.
32:32
Yet don't waste the opportunity. Don't ask for things.
32:35
Ask for transformation. Because you see, one of the ways
32:38
that God answers our prayer is to cause us to grow into the
32:43
version that can make the answer arrive.
32:46
If you don't grow spiritually, there are certain answers that
32:49
cannot come to this version of you.
32:52
So one of the ways God answers prayer is by leaving the issue
32:56
of the answer and causing the person who wants the answer to
33:00
grow. You see that now.
33:08
But I, I really want to drum this.
33:10
And then I'll give us the last one and we're done.
33:13
Your life is greater than your activities.
33:18
It must be from the depth of your heart.
33:20
You must. My question for you now is, do
33:23
you love Jesus sincerely, Sincerely.
33:27
I'm not saying do you sing well? Do you love Him?
33:32
Maybe a man of God is falling online.
33:34
Maybe a worshipper is falling online.
33:36
Let me tell you this, I can tell you a generation that serves God
33:40
without loving Him will never experience His power.
33:44
You can do everything right. You will not see that glory.
33:48
There is a realm in the spirit that is only for lovers.
33:53
It's beyond prayer warriors. It's beyond confession giants.
33:56
It's a realm where it's a deep love affair.
34:01
A deep love affair. When a man gets married to a
34:04
woman, the intimacy that happens between them is done in secret.
34:11
But you can know because after a few weeks she begins to change,
34:16
her appetites begin to change. She will go to the hospital and
34:20
what is this strange fever? And they say, Madam,
34:23
congratulations, you are carrying twins.
34:27
You see that now you don't have to.
34:30
You know that she has met with her husband because that begins
34:34
to happen. And notice in because of what
34:36
she's carrying, what she eats begins to change where she goes,
34:41
her sleeping time, an adjustment begins to happen.
34:45
That is proof just met with the husband.
34:48
If you are the bride of Christ and you claim to have had
34:52
intimacy, show me the adjustments that have happened.
34:55
Let me see the deposits of that spiritual seed in you.
35:08
It's a song in my spirit. I'll stand.
35:13
With arms high and hard, abandoned ignore of the one who
35:22
gave it all. I'll stand my soul Lord to you,
35:29
surrender. No, I am is yours.
35:35
I want you to just sing that part.
35:38
All I am is yours, all I am is yours.
35:48
One more time, all I am #3. The third parameter that defines
36:02
a true worshipper. Let's rehearse quickly.
36:04
Let's see how much we have learned #1.
36:07
You must define the object of worship.
36:09
In this case we worship the Father, Him that sits upon the
36:14
throne, and the lamb #2 the state of the worshipper.
36:20
There must be a state of brokenness, a state of
36:23
reverence, surrender, obedience, and a determination to conform
36:29
experientially to the image and the character of the Christ #3
36:35
the third. Is someone getting something?
36:46
For your worship to be true, you must worship according to
36:50
pattern. Please write that word and on
36:53
the line if you're writing pattern, Pattern God is a God of
36:58
patterns. Genesis 4, four to seven, Cain
37:03
and Abel. It was an issue of a heart
37:06
condition, but it was also an issue of pattern, pattern,
37:11
pattern. The first demonstration of
37:12
worshippers we see in the Bible in terms of service and
37:16
sacrifice. It was a pattern issue.
37:18
There was a pattern Abel followed.
37:21
There was a pattern Cain followed.
37:23
The Bible says God had respect for the sacrifice of Abel and
37:29
that for Cain was not done and Cain was wrought in his heart.
37:33
Verse 6 the Bible says the Lord told Cain, why are you angry?
37:38
Why is your countenance fallen? Read verse 7.
37:41
Let's read together if you can see it, one to go, if thou doest
37:45
well, shalt thou not be accepted?
37:47
You can stop there. That means if you do it
37:50
according to pattern, you see it says this is what the Lord
37:55
commanded Moses that you should do and then the glory shall
37:59
appear if the glory does not appear.
38:01
Now let me tell you this, the glory of God is a report card.
38:05
It validates that you have kept pattern.
38:08
Every time you see the glory of God revealed in any aspect of
38:12
your life is an attestation that divine patterns have been kept.
38:16
If the glory is released in your finances, it means you have kept
38:20
divine patterns. If the glory of God is released
38:23
in your ministry, you see that you always use the glory of God
38:27
as a verification system, that the pattern has been kept.
38:30
So when you raise a song of worship and the glory of God
38:35
does not show up, it means that there is a violation of
38:39
patterns. If I say preacher, you minister
38:43
the power of God, a song or a ministry and the glory of God
38:48
does the glory of God will always show up.
38:52
There's no time to to see how the Tabernacle of Moses was
38:56
built. You see that now God kept
38:58
telling Moses and saw that you build according to the pattern
39:04
that was shown you on the mount and the glory of God never came
39:07
until Moses put the last peg according to pattern.
39:11
Then the Bible says the Shekinah of God came and man told that
39:15
place. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going
39:17
to review for you what is the pattern of true worship.
39:21
If you understand the pattern, you have found the key to
39:24
trapping the glory of God in any meeting in any place.
39:30
Maybe this is a cry. God bless you Dusin for putting
39:34
this up. I'm sure that a worshipper is
39:37
watching and saying apostle. I'm a sincere person.
39:39
I love God, but I don't know why my worship is not presence
39:42
carrying. It's not proof producing healing
39:45
streams don't flow from me. Here's the secret.
39:50
No matter how sincere you are, if you do not follow according
39:54
to pattern, the glory will not come.
39:57
Now everyone look at this. I'm holding a mic.
40:00
This is supposed to amplify my voice, am I right?
40:03
But it does not amplify my voice.
40:05
Under every condition, there is a system of switching it up.
40:10
Now watch this. Sit back on.
40:28
You see that now I am a sincere person, The mic is sincere, but
40:34
because I did not follow the pattern, you see that now.
40:41
Now me who held the mic and the person who does not have a mic,
40:45
we all have the same experience. So my binder mic has become a
40:49
waste because I did not understand the pattern to engage
40:52
it. If you do not understand the
40:55
pattern, you'll find out that you is engaging in worship and
40:59
someone who is an unbeliever, your experience will be the
41:01
same. You're wondering, so why did I
41:03
roll on the ground for five hours?
41:11
Blessed be the name of the Lord. Now let me show you how it works
41:14
in the Spirit. This, ladies and gentlemen, is
41:17
the pattern of true worship. And then we pray.
41:20
Number one. True worship starts with
41:27
reverence to God from the heart, reverence to God from the heart.
41:34
Then a verbalizing of your reverence and your honor through
41:38
words. Please follow the pattern #1
41:41
reverence and honor to God from your heart.
41:46
Then when that is sorted, the next port of call is verbalizing
41:51
the reverence, the honor, and the praise through words #3 is a
41:59
lifestyle of surrender and honor.
42:03
Then #4 physical expressions that show that you honor God.
42:09
You're singing now you're preaching.
42:11
You see the pattern? I'll take it again #1A heart of
42:16
reverence for God. So it is a heart affair then #2
42:20
your words, remember the Bible says they draw nigh to me with
42:25
their lips, But their heart are you seeing now?
42:28
So he's saying, He's saying they change the pattern.
42:31
It is first your heart, then after your heart, your lips.
42:35
You still find the same thing in Romans chapter 10, from verse 8
42:38
to 10. It is always heart, then from
42:42
the heart. It is lips, then from the lips
42:44
your life, then from your life, your singing or your preaching
42:49
or whatever. Nobody who keeps that pattern,
42:52
who will not see the glory of God, the reverence from the
42:56
heart, then your lips, then your life, then the physical
43:03
expressions now, whether it is worship, whether it is
43:06
preaching, whether it is giving, whether it is lifting up hands,
43:11
whether it is rolling on the ground all through.
43:15
When you see the glory of God in the life of worshippers, this is
43:18
the pattern. Your heart, your words, your
43:24
life, then your service. Let's do that again.
43:29
Your heart #2 your words #3 your life #4 your service.
43:37
Let's do it one more time. Your heart, your words, your
43:43
life, your service. Reverse the formula and you will
43:47
not see the glory of God. So for others, this is what they
43:51
do. My words, my service.
43:54
The glory does not come or does the heart and the words, they
43:57
stop there. The glory will not come.
44:00
It is your heart, your words, your life, your service.
44:06
Please, for the sake of our viewers, let's shout it one more
44:09
time. Your heart, your words, your
44:13
life, your service. This is the pattern.
44:18
The Bible says whoever lives by this pattern, God is looking for
44:21
them. They are not just the one
44:23
looking. There is a generation that seeks
44:25
his face, but there are men. God is looking for is looking
44:29
for men. So in a meeting, while we are
44:32
all seeking Him, He comes to seeking man.
44:35
He's not just receiving the worship, He's seeking man.
44:40
That's why the experience of worshippers in a building like
44:43
this may not be the same. As much as all of us are
44:46
worshipping Him, we may live with various possibilities.
44:51
What are the possibilities that follow through worship?
44:53
When you keep this pattern, The glory of God and the glory of
44:58
God, it will manifest in various dimensions.
45:01
His manifested presence, His power, divine solutions, and so
45:05
on and so forth. Those who understand worship are
45:08
never bankrupt in this life. No, they will lock themselves
45:12
and come up with answers. Answers.
45:18
Let me tell you this, if a prayer warrior is not a
45:20
worshipper, he will be wasting his time.
45:24
You see a worshipper is not a singer, the worshipper is one
45:28
who is a keeper of these patterns.
45:30
So I can go to pray, but it must be my heart, my words, my life.
45:43
Imagine someone who stands on stage like minister, don't seem
45:46
to sing. When you see the glory of God,
45:49
just know it for a Shorty. The pattern has been kept.
45:52
Your heart, your words, your life, your ServiceNow The idea
45:58
is not to condemn you. We're about to pray.
46:03
It's the restoration of the Tabernacle of David.
46:06
In Acts chapter 15, when we reach 16 and 17, the apostles
46:10
were speaking and they spoke about the prophecy that Amos
46:13
brought. Remember verse 616?
46:16
Let me say a word about that. 1516 and 17 Acts 15.
46:22
And after this I will return, he said.
46:24
And I will build again the Tabernacle of David.
46:27
Now, if you understand anything about David, the nation of
46:29
Israel were never a nation until it was under King David.
46:33
They lived a nomadic life, moving from place to place and
46:37
everywhere they found themselves.
46:38
As in the case of David, He pitched a Tabernacle, a temporal
46:43
Tabernacle, intending to build a permanent one, but God did not
46:46
allow him because his hand had shed too much blood.
46:50
And he now gathered all the offerings, and he would allow
46:52
Solomon to come and build, remember?
46:55
But in the interim, the ark of God was kept there.
46:58
You see that now. And it was a temporary place of
47:01
worship. And then Amos would tell us that
47:04
there was a prophecy upon David because he was a man after
47:06
God's, not God's mind. He was a man after God's heart.
47:11
You see that David kept this pattern, the heart.
47:15
Search my heart, try my thoughts, you still see he was
47:20
always let the words of my mouth and the meditation of be
47:25
acceptable. Are you seeing now every time
47:27
What made David a man after God's heart?
47:29
Was this heart mouth life service.
47:34
I rather be a door keeper in your house.
47:38
You you see the pattern scattered through the life of
47:40
David. Now the rebuilding of the
47:42
Tabernacle of David is a prophetic expression.
47:45
It doesn't just mean a rebuilding of a physical
47:47
Tabernacle because Jesus already said that our cometh and now is
47:51
it will no longer be an issue of building or location.
47:55
The Tabernacle of David in prophecy is a restoration of a
48:00
divine order where there is a unified acceptable system of
48:04
worship. Are we together?
48:06
That points to a person, not a location.
48:09
It does not depend on a particular people group, but
48:12
every other person, Jews and Gentiles.
48:15
We've been melted into one human in Christ, and #2 it will be
48:21
about intimacy beyond activity. Are we together now?
48:25
So when we talk about the restoration of the Tabernacle of
48:28
David, there's no new Tabernacle anywhere.
48:30
No, no, no, no, no, no. What is happening right now is
48:34
that he told David that out of David, the person who will do
48:37
that rebuilding. And that's why Jesus is called
48:40
Son of David. So Jesus came as a fulfillment.
48:45
He is the embodiment, the restoration of that Tabernacle.
48:48
So whereas in former times they used to face the temple, now our
48:53
focus is on the throne of grace, the Presence.
48:58
The Bible says will therefore come boldly before the throne of
49:02
grace. We won't stop praising you.
49:08
Let's pray we won't stop loving you forever and ever forever.
49:19
We won't stop saying we won't stop loving you forever and
49:30
ever. Singing from your heart, we will
49:36
stop praising you. We will stop loving you forever
49:44
and ever. One more time, from the left of
49:49
your heart, we will stop praising you.
49:54
We will stop loving you. One prayer point and then I'm
50:05
done for tonight, I'd like you to lift your voice, whether you
50:08
are in this beautiful studio or watching from across the nations
50:13
of the earth. Perhaps I'm speaking to a
50:15
worshipper, a man of God, someone who is imagining the
50:19
worship ministry. And you're saying, Apostle,
50:21
Minister Dulce, I want to restore this order of His
50:25
presence, His power, his glory? In my worship, tonight's
50:30
teaching is your secret. It is from the heart.
50:34
Then your words, then your lifestyle, then your service.
50:39
A heart of reverence, words that are pure and true and sincere.
50:46
Then a lifestyle of surrender, of brokenness, of love, of
50:51
conformity, an acceptable service.
50:55
Lift your voice and ask for grace.
50:58
That I will be a worshipper in spirit and in truth.
51:17
One minute you are praying, I will stop praising you and I
51:23
won't stop loving you. It's forever and ever, forever
51:30
and ever. I won't stop praising you, I
51:37
won't stop loving you. Forever and ever.
51:44
Part of my heart, oh God, someone is praying.
51:49
Touch my heart and try my thoughts.
51:53
Remove the dross that is in my heart, hindering Your glory from
51:57
manifesting the desire to gratify the flesh, the appetite
52:08
to walk in the flesh that tampers with the release of
52:11
glory. Let it be crucified tonight.
52:26
In the name of Jesus, in Jesus name.
52:32
Like Dustin said before I came up, this is a culture that you
52:37
must maintain beyond these days of worship.
52:42
Let me as a final function, lead somebody to Jesus Christ.
52:48
Perhaps you're watching from across the nations of the earth.
52:51
Someone sent you the link and on hearing us discuss about this
52:55
Jesus, you're saying apostle. I love the idea of church.
53:00
I love the idea of Jesus, but I cannot say I'm saved.
53:05
My heart is not right. I want you to know that He loved
53:08
you and gave His only Son for you, and this can be your night
53:13
of liberty. As many who need to make it
53:17
right with Jesus, I'd like you to stretch your hands towards me
53:20
and I'll just lead you in a simple prayer.
53:23
Say this after me and let it be from the depth of your heart.
53:26
Say, Lord Jesus, tonight I declare that I love you, and
53:32
it's with all my heart. I believe you are the Son of
53:36
God. I believe you died for my sins.
53:41
