BEAUTIFUL WORSHIP 

AND FELLOWSHIP:

By Prof Ben Onyeukwu 

   Worship and fellowship are indispensable ties of any religious life, christian or non- christian. By way of definition, worship is one's devotion to GOD. It is a feeling of strong or fervent affection and dedication to one's Creator. On the other hand, fellowship, has to do a feeling of friendship or connection between people.

   Worship is strictly being connected to GOD, in an unbroken relationship in which every worshipper is enjoined to remain faithful. Thus, the Holy Scripture, stresses that, "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth". 

   Furthermore, worship can only be beautiful, when it is done in holiness. In keeping with this, the Holy Scripture, equally admonishes that, we must always "give unto the LORD the glory due to His NAME, as well as worship HIM, in the beauty of holiness".

   The crux of the matter is that, worship belongs to GOD alone, whether in places of worship or not, as fellowship is a corporate worship, or the coming togather of a people, in any place of worship, to express a collective adoration to GOD. The epistle to the Hebrews urges that, we must not be in habit of..."forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching". 

   In conclusion, please note that , beautiful worship and fellowship always bring people and GOD together in mutual Love and friendship. This, you cannot afford to miss. REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL! (See John 4:24, Psams 29:2 and Hebrews 10:25)
