IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU JESUS
DESIGNED TO WORSHIP
God knew that every moment we encounter His presence, we would be re-aligned to His purposes and plans for our lives. In Jeremiah 29:11 He says, "I know my thoughts and plans for you" and He further says "His plans are Shalom for you". The meaning of the Hebrew word Shalom there is "being Whole". When we worship Him, He restores us by making us whole (making us complete in Him, removing our misplaced trust in things of this world). God is inviting you to become whole. Being whole is becoming like Him.
INVITATION TO BECOME LIKE HIM
What's the point when you know that God designed you to be a worshipper? You always become like what you worship. There’s nothing more ​H​e wants from us than to become like Him. To be more like Jesus each and every day of our life. With that in mind, He designed us as worshippers!

HEART OF WORSHIP
Worship is all about Jesus and Him alone. Most christians often replace Jesus with the things that give them pleasure. This can be in the form of money, position, material possession and more. However God is looking for worshippers who will enthrone Him above everything else in their life. Psalmist David reminds us that God is enthroned on the praises of His people. What kind of throne are we preparing for the one who gave His own life for us? It is when we sincerely answer this question can we confidently say that It's all about Jesus - that's the heart of worship.
DWELLING PLACE OF GOD
Cultivating a Heart of Worship requires understanding key truths. Scripture points that we are called to be the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. We are called to do what’s acceptable in His sight. Holy Spirit is the key to our journey with God. Shutting down His voice will move us into confusion and eventually spiritual death. So let's Listen to Him to live with Kingdom's purpose and hope.​
DEVELOPING AN INTIMATE AND DAILY RELATIONSHIP
​Developing a daily relationship with God is the most important part of our christian journey. Spending time with God will enable us to know Him more. When we spend time with God daily, we would know His Heart, His secrets and what He’s about to do. Walking in Heavenly direction will be our portion. Scripture teaches us that we are called to be His friends. Abraham was called to be the friend of God. It's known that friends generally share secrets. So if you want to know God’s Heart and His secrets (prophetic direction over a person or a situation), be encouraged to be His friend.​
