“The One Thing”

WORSHIP LEADING
30 December 2021
The Worship of God
Is Holy
 Psalms 29:2
Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name;
Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
Regarding Excellence
 What is Excellence?
Excellence is doing the best you can do with what you
have been given.

Excellence is not about perfection. While perfection is

doing something without making a single mistake, you
can be excellent without being perfect
 Galatians 6:4
Pay careful attention to your own work, for then
you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and
you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else.
 Daniel 6:3
Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the
governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit
was in him; and the king gave thought to setting
him over the whole realm.
Authentic Lives
of Worship
 Daniel 6:4
So the governors and satraps sought to find some
charge against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but
they could find no charge or fault, because he was
faithful; nor was there any error or fault found in
him.
Serve the Lord
With Gladness
 Psalms 100:2
Serve the LORD with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
 Worship Is
Not Just a Lifestyle
 Psalm 100

1
Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands!
2
Serve the LORD with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
3
Know that the LORD, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

4
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
5
For the LORD is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.
Build A Culture
That Embraces
The New
 New songs, new day, new start, new hope, new mercy,
new possibilities, new ideas, new ways, new people. God
says “new heaven and a new earth,” “new covenant,”
“new self,” “new heart,” “new command,” “new
creation”…new, new, new!
God’s Presence Is
Great Power
 Psalm 27:1-6
The LORD is my light and my

Of whom shall I be afraid? In this I will be confident. He shall hide me;
He shall set me high upon a rock.

And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
5
For the LORD is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.
Speak a Kingdom
Culture
 A Kingdom culture is one that its citizens reflect the
King. This is seen in the expression of the Gifts and
fruit of the Holy Spirit. The reality of Heaven on Earth
and the liberty of His people to live out their God-given
destiny. [Romans 14:17, 1 Peter 2:9].
 Romans 14:17
for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but
righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a
holy nation, His own special people, that you may
proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of
darkness into His marvelous light;
People of Prayer
 Psalm 100

2
Serve the LORD with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
3
Know that the LORD, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

4
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
5
For the LORD is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.
Never forget the honor
it is to worship our
King.
 DAVID: GOD’S
PATTERN (WITNESS)
FOR THE REDEEMED
David is a picture of what God wants to release by
the Holy Spirit on the end-time-David generation.
David is the model for obedience and faith. David is
a picture of the Church that loves, worships and
wars in the Spirit.
 3
I will make an everlasting covenant with you--The sure mercies of David. 4 Indeed I have
given him as a witness to the people.
(Isa. 55:3-4)

15
I will give you shepherds according to My heart...will feed you with...understanding
(Jer. 3:15)

25
You promised...David, saying, “You shall not fail to have a man sit before Me on the throne
of Israel, only if your sons take heed to their way, that they walk before Me as you have
walked before Me.”
(1 Kings 8:25)

17
Show me a sign for good...because You, LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
(Ps. 86:17)
 DAVID’S CORE
REALITY:
SPIRITUAL IDENTITY
BASED IN INTIMACY
AND MEEKNESS
 A. The primary way in which David saw himself and measured
(evaluated) the success of his life was by two core issues: intimacy
with God and meekness before people. In other words, first he
established his primary identity (his sense of value/success) in
intimacy with God as being loved by God and in being a lover of
God, then second, he walked in meekness. David felt successful
before God (ultimate sense) in context to how much he grew in the
anointing of love and meekness.
Meekness is an attribute of human nature and behavior that has
been defined as an amalgam of righteousness, inner humility, and
patience.

Righteousness is the quality or state of being morally correct and justifiable.

Humility is the quality of being humble.

Patience (or forbearance) is the ability to endure difficult circumstances.

 Our primary identity in life is to be one who is
“loved and a lover” therefore, we are successful
before God (which is ultimate). Our primary
attitude must be to grow in lowliness of heart
(meekness or a servant spirit) as one faithful in
small things.
DAVID WAS A
PASSIONATE
WORSHIPPER
(2 Samuel 6)
 David as “worshipping warrior” sought to gain
victory over God’s enemies (ministry/marketplace)
with worship as his foundational strategy.
 Psalms 27:4 (NKJV)
One thing I have desired of the LORD,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the LORD,
And to inquire in His temple.
 Psalms 27:4 (The Passion Translation)

Here’s the one thing I crave from God,

the one thing I seek above all else:
I want the privilege of living with him every moment in
his house,
finding the sweet loveliness of his face,
filled with awe, delighting in his glory and grace.
I want to live my life so close to him
that he takes pleasure in my every prayer.
 Psalms 27:5-6 (The Passion Translation)
In his shelter in the day of trouble, that’s where you’ll find me,
for he hides me there in his holiness.
He has smuggled me into his secret place,
where I’m kept safe and secure—
out of reach from all my enemies.
Triumphant now, I’ll bring him my offerings of praise,
singing and shouting with ecstatic joy!
Yes, listen and you can hear
the fanfare of my shouts of praise to the Lord!
 Thanks!
God Bless You.
