As you walk into the church, you might have noticed that we value the time of worship. What is worship? According to the scriptures, it means to come before God's throne. First you must surrender yourself before the Lord, lay down your burdens an the things that you love to boast about, and solely look at the Lord.

Next, you must open your heart before the Lord and allow the Holy Spirit to work in you. Let Him soften your heart, heal your soul and speak to you. Sometimes, you will be moved to tears but don't feel embarrassed because God is working in you. Sometimes, you might have some sensation in your body such as heat or electricity flowing through you. Do not be afraid because it means He is with you. These are the manifestation of God's presence.

What should you do if you don't know the songs? The best way is to close your eyes and listen and use the lyrics to pray in your heart. Do not just be an observer.If you feel tired from long standing, you may also sit down because the key is not about standing or sitting ut is to come before the Lord and receive help. You must engage in the worship and never be an observer! God is pleased when we worship wholeheartedly. Let us do so to please Him.
