Worship Summit Report

by SHARON LEOW.

Hello hello to those of you who've missed out on such an occasion like this! You are in for an amazing read-up for what God has done in the lives of the young and the old who attended yr 2010's Worship Summit.

The summit took place at none other than FGA Centre Choong Nam Theatre which held about over a hundred and fifty people, if I'm rather precise enough? It would be a tedious effort to count the number of heads during the sessions, wouldn't it?

At 9.00 am, more people flood into the seats of Sanc 1 adding up to the congregation which had already been present earlier on. We were first instructed to register (we were handed a pweedy nametag with categories on it and a limited edition WORSHIP SUMMIT notebook) before taking our seats.

And what better way to start a 'Worship Summit' then to have a worship session which was led by none other than our fireBRANDS worship team. It was as if an instant, the presence of the LORD washed over the entire sanctuary. The congregation of different aged groups worshipped that day, regardless of whether the songs were much like the ones we sing during our fireBRANDS service.

We were then introduced to Ps. Guy Rozario (a powerful man of God) who spoke on the 'appointed time' that God has preordained for us to worship Him in spirit and in truth and to obey Him and His will that He has put on us.

It is said that:

- We need to come back to a place of obedience because before we can see our nation change, we need to see our church change first.
- We need to worship out of the revelation of God because revelation motivates a relationship between us and God, and unless God reveals Himself to us, we cannot worship.

Session 2 was then lead by Joshua Yeoh which opened our eyes and most definitely has given us a bigger picture of what worship is all about and how we ought to worship.

(1) Worship at the level of your REVELATION
-God is seeking : a) Worshippers who worship in spirit and in truth.
b) The lost who have backslidden.

-Worship is : Connect with God ----> ME <---- connect with others

-Revelation means God opening our eyes to see what He wants to release.
- We are here to POINT people to JESUS!

(2) Worship at the level of your WARFARE
-A wall prophecys a break through
-When we sense a heaviness before we worship God, we need to counter act that feeling by singing praises to God.
- TRUE WORSHIPPERS overturn those walls which are barriers from worshipping God.

(3) Worship at the level of your DESPERATION
-Our desperation is measured not when we stand in front of others but is measured when we are in a secret place with God.
-Greatness is established in the secret place and not on stage.

More sessions were held when we were divided into our respective groups.

This worship summit was not just an event taken place to hype us all up. But it was to help us realize that there are definitely much more things to know about worship and God's revelation for us.
