“Now there were in the church at Antioch
certain prophets and teachers; …as they ministered to the lord, and fasted, the
Holy Spirit said…” (Acts 13:1-2)
It’s
vital to learn how to minister to the Lord, and more importantly, to know when
to pray the prayer of worship. The opening scripture says ’’…as they
ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Ghost said…’’; letting us
know that the power of God’s Spirit is manifested as we minister to the Lord,
in an atmosphere of true worship.
To
minister to Lord is to pray and worship according to His Word and to make
confessions to His Name. Confession comes from the Greek word ‘Homologia’
which means speaking the same thing in consent or consonance with God; to say
what God has said in agreement with Him. So in ministering to the Lord you say
beautiful things about Him and revere His awesome majesty in line with the
revelation of His personality in the Word. Ministering to the Lord is a very
important aspect of our Christian service.
Note that the Spirit
only spoke after the people had ‘ministered to the Lord’. Learn to minister to
the Lord and you’ll begin to experience a depth in the spirit that is beyond
the ordinary.
