When it comes to worship, we all need to ask ourselves the question, what should I do to invite God to the church service? What is my part in all of this? We all have a part to play. There’s the worship team’s part, the congregation’s part, and God’s part. If we all do our own part, the presence of God will be a reality in our midst. So what are all these parts?
1. The worship team has an important responsibility to help bring in the presence of the Lord. It is important that each member of the team prepares his/her own heart for the Lord. They are also there to help the church body to interact and to encourage them to worship God.
2. The church body has the responsibility or part (as well as the worship team) of inviting the presence of God and the Holy Spirit in. When the Lord see’s that His people are worshipping Him, then He is pleased. The worship team will only be able to go as far as the church body will go.
3. God has a part. As we (His people) worship and bless His name, then will He begin to move and bless us! Think of it like inviting Him as a guest. The Holy Spirit needs a invitation before He will come. HE IS A GENTLEMAN. We all have a PART TO PLAY during the worship time. If we do our part, God will most assuredly do His!
