Yesterday was one of the most amazing experiences of my life! I attended New Life Fellowship Association Church in Andheri West, Mumbai. There were about 800 people singing, shouting, dancing, clapping and praising God with their whole hearts.
Tears of joy filled my heart as we worshipped the only worthy one, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I was so excited that He was receiving the offerings of praise that He so deserves. There was celebration and chanting of the name of Jesus. This singing and then giving went on for one hour and forty-five minutes, yet had it gone on all day, I don't think many would have left. Better is one day in presence of our Lord than thousands elsewhere!
Shyju Mathew (www.shyjumathew.com) was the guest speaker. he really captured my heart when He stood up and read Psalm 76:1 and shared that in Judah God is known. He shared that it was through praise like what we had just experienced that God is known. He said that there is no other place that he would have rather been. I wholeheartedly agree. He even said that he is getting married this Tuesday and now wants to come to New Life Fellowship Lokhandwala for his honeymoon. He said that he could see God in heaven relishing in the worship and saying to the angels, "Shhh, angels. Shut up. Don't you hear them down there worshipping me?"
Christ is risen and we have reason to celebrate. He is great and has done great things. One day, we'll stand before His throne and worship Him for all eternity. That worship doesn't have to start then. We can start now and have a little taste of heaven on earth.
