THE SPICES OF WORSHIP

 

 

WORSHIP IS GOD'S FOOD!
GOD THRIVES ON IT!

It was revealed to me earlier on in my worship career that worship is the shaping of the worth of God. I have remained faithful to this definition in all my works and do stand by it in this blog as well. I believe that the shaping of the worth of God is done for God and God alone. It is for His exclusive delight as the symbolic ingredients of worship shows in Leviticus 2:1.

The revelation of worship as God’s food is perhaps one of the greatest significance of the worship scheme given to Israel by God for the benefit of the New Testament Church of God in Christ. There is a unique theme of human supply of divine enjoyment scattered throughout Scripture.

THE INGREDIENTS OF WORSHIP
Without the fulfillment found in the New Testament, of all the Old Testament types of sacrificial offerings, one would have thought that Levitical worship was one big dinner party and God is the only One invited to dine. One could conceive of worship as God’s food, indeed His nourishment, and it is! Someone once said; ‘God loves the smell of roasted flesh.’ Well, let truth be told; God enjoys the flavor of the worship of His people when the right recipes are used. That’s why He relished all those hot offerings which were cooked to perfection in Calvary’s pot.

BROKENNESS, THE GREATEST INGREDIENT IN WORSHIP
Worship is the concoction of all that pleases God and meets the divine requirements for the shaping of His worth. “And when any will offer a meat offering unto the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon.”(Leviticus 2:1).

If worship is God’s food, then it must be palatable to God. Just as every meal or cuisine is made up of vital ingredients, so worship consists of essential ingredients. What is an ingredient? It is a component part of any combination or mixture.
