25 Steps to transit from being barren to a millionaire of souls.
Replace professional music with speaking to each other in psalms and spiritual songs, making melody in your hearts; “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” The Holy Spirit in the apostate church has been displaced by technology. The church is a discipling hub and not a singing club. Not the ecstatic variety inside the church with lots of icing but no cake but ‘worship’ took place, not inside the Temple or the tabernacle but out in the open court, where man met with God at the altar with his sacrifice, penitence and gratitude.
Worship must result in reconciliation and relational restoration with the Father. It required a Sword, the Fire (altar) and Sacrificial animals. On The Pentecost, the birthday of the church, “worship in spirit and in truth” took place in a house and not the temple, with the Sword (Word of God by Peter); the tongues of Fire (Holy Spirit) and three thousand repentant souls offered up as a living Sacrifice.
The Jews worshipped God by offering four-footed sheep; the traditional church worships by offering praise of their lips by singing endless songs but the New Testament church worships God by offering the lost sheep as living sacrifice, “And the Lord adds to their numbers daily.” Not the quality of worship inside the chapel but the quality and quantity of disciples made outside the chapel that glorifies God. “Worship in truth and spirit” is no longer confined to any religious meeting or building but “from the rising of the sun to its going down, pure offering (repentant souls) and incense (prayer) will be offered up” in anyplace, where you make disciples. (Gen. 22:5-7; Psalm 51:17; 2Chron. 7:12; Eph 5:19; Col 3:16; Psalm 50:14; Rom.12:1,2; 15:16; John 4: 20-24; 15:8; Acts 2:47; Malachi 1:11)
