AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 11:6 And the LORD said, "Behold, they are one [unified] people, and they all have the same language. This is only the beginning of what they will do [in rebellion against Me], and now no evil thing they imagine they can do will be impossible for them. |
Bible Question: What are some of the significants or benefits of corporate worship? |
Bible Answer: It seems to me there are only a couple of times that the Lord seemed to act quickly to prevent things from taking place. Once was when access was blocked from the tree of life, and the other time was when He confused speach at the tower of Babel. This second time was to prevent a people from being as one. Because they weren't trying to get to God with the tower. Instead they were trying to tower over God or, in other words they wanted to be above God. The reason this has anything to do with your question is a proving of united we stand divide we fall. When the Bablonians were united as one in one language or, one could say, the same voice. God said,"now NOTHING will be restrained from them , which they have imagined to do." KJV My belief is this, if a bunch of people who were trying to place themselves above God without a space rocket got His attention only because they were united in one belief. I think it is a pretty good indication they were onto something very powerful. And these folks were not believers of our God. So, how much more would this precept of being united in one belief during worship bennefit what we can imagine. Corporate worship is what was a common practice of God's people before going to war. Many times it confused the enemy even before battle. Look at Moses how the battle was being won when he held his hands up in worship. But when he got tired and his hands fell, and they started losing. Through the help of his sister and brother holding his hands up (corporate) to worship they began winning again. Corporate worship is so powerful to our God. It bennefits Him greatly. His scriptures even says, that a king is not a king without subjects. It blesses God that we put down our own selfishness and come togeter and worship the king as one body.(I'm not saying God is not God without our worship). Think how it pleases Satan when a stadium packed with thousands of concert goers come and sing songs that are of evil content exalting him. I often wonder does he say to God, look how they honor me. They even come together as one to worship my ways regardless if they are getting along or not. |
