Many have asked me the difference between Worship and Discipleship. Some have indicated that they only need to come to Discipleship or they only need to come to Worship; they don’t need to come to both. Well, according to Pastor Rick Warren, the author of The Purpose Driven Church discipleship is the study of God’s word, that gives you the principles to live by. But Worship, which is the presence of God gives you the power to live. You cannot live by the principles of the Bible unless you have the power that comes only from God. And if you have the power without the principles, then you’re quickly fooled by Satan into being his servant instead of God’s. We need both the power and the principles of God which come only through worship and Discipleship.
To worship God, you must travel the path of praise. When we praise God we literally enthrone the Lord into our presence. Psalm 22:3 says that God inhabits or lives in the praise of His people. When we praise Him we build a place for God to come where His presence and His power is made manifest into our lives. Truly, if the praises go up, the blessings come down. Let’s make a joyful noise unto the Lord.
