Worship Brings Rain

By Temitope Odetunde

This book defines worship and what we mean when we say we are worshipping God. Worship is defined as an act of reverence for someone of high-ranking or deity; it also means to bow down. The Greek word for worship is proskuneo, meaning to “kiss” or to reverence, whilst the Hebrew word sometimes used for worship is shachah, which means to fall down, depress or prostrate. Merriam-webster.com defines bow down as showing weakness by agreeing to demand or following the order of someone or something. This book explains what worship is not and how to check if we are offering God acceptable worship.
What is the sin of Adam and Eve?
I always thought that the sin of Adam and Eve was doing what God told them not to do, but it’s deeper than that. It is a sin of worship; therefore, the centre of our worship must be Christ-centred. This book also explains that worship is not what we do as routine. Isaiah 29:13 (Good News Translation) states, “These people claim to worship me, but their words are meaningless, and their hearts are somewhere else. Their religion is nothing but human rules and traditions, which they have simply memorized.” Worship is the deliberate act to ensure God is the centre of our lives.
This book explores the role of priests in worship and how we, the new covenant priests, must make sure we are offering our worship according to the pattern specified by God. Our presentation, our garment and the order of our worship must be according to the guidelines so that our worship is acceptable before God. Worship is a powerful weapon in the hand of any believer and congregation. Our private and corporate worship should mirror that of heaven, as seen in Revelation 4 and 5. In the pattern of worship in heaven, there are certain features observed which we must bear in mind as we come to offer our worship, holy and acceptable worship.
This book expands on the link between worship and rain and how lack of continuous worship can stop the flow of God in all areas of our life. Lastly, this book explains who the giver of rain is and how to activate the rain continually.
