OUR 2017 MISSION STATEMENT: “WE WILL ARISE AND LIT THE WORLD

WITH THE GOSPEL” (Daniel 12:3)

YOUTH CHAPELWORSHIPPING AT THE HOLY HILL

Text: Psalm 99:1-9

An elderly Christian said, “I don't like attending Church services in St. Mark's Assemblies of God, Deeper Life, Redeemed, etc. I am still searching for the Church of Spirit and Truth that Jesus recommended as a good place of worship”. It sounded funny until he explained. The holy hill is a spiritual position in which, as captured in our text, the worshipper recognizes Jesus as the reigning King over his life, upholds His almightiness, lives in total submission to righteousness and holiness, holds to the testimonies of his encounter with Christ having obtained forgiveness from God, and lives a life of daily prayer and reverence to God. It is the worship that comes from the holy hill, the hill of Spirit and Truth that God accepts.

Where do you worship? Two persons can be in the same Church service, one worshipping at the holy hill and the other at the sinful hill. Therefore, it is not merely a matter of the physical Church, but of the spiritual position of the worshipper. Examine your spiritual position today. Please come to the holy hill and see God in the beauty of His holiness.

Think about this: “God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth”. (John 4:24)
