What Is Vain Worship!


‘’What Is Vain Worship?’
Matthew 15:9.
a)        Vain worship is useless.
b)        Vain worship centres on wrong teaching.
c)        Vain worship is about the ‘doctrines’ of the commands of men.
(This QT answers my question: What Is Vain Worship?)

‘Angry Church Leaders Lose Their Anointing And Their Way’
Numbers 20:7-12.
a)        Numbers 20:7. These were the Words of the Lord to Moses. (He was the Leader of God’s People at that time)
b)        Numbers 20:8. The Lord spoke these words to Moses: Take the staff and assemble the community, you and Aaron your brother, and then speak to the rock before their eyes. It will pour forth its water, and you will bring water out of the rock for them, and so you will give the community and their livestock water to drink.
c)        Numbers 20:9. At first Moses did what the Lord said. He held the rod of God.
d)        Numbers 20:10. When calling the community of God’s People together Moses’ anger came out. He called his own people rebels.
e)        Numbers 20:11. Moses then struck the rock with the rod (in anger). Water came out because God loved His People – not because of Moses.
f)          Numbers 20:12. Moses’ sin:-
1-       Anger.
2-       Not trusting what the Lord had said.
3-       Not simply revealing the holiness of God.
4-       Prevented him from leading God’s People to their Promised Land.
(This Second one teaches me that Angry Church Leaders Lose Their Anointing And Their Way)

Chris.

It may be our move, we move from one place or Church to another and so have a new set of Leaders. It may be a Ministry or Mission office that we serve and the Leadership changes. It also may be the seminary in which we study that has a change of president or faculty. The most important thing is our Leaders now. These Leaders should be hearing God for our Church, Office or Seminary this is why it is important for us to Pray for our Leaders at the present time.
