Called to worship


We are all, without exception, called to worship and intimacy with God.
Busy-ness is not an excuse.
Nor is intimacy and worship limited to the professional ministry.
We all have both the right and the obligation to press in to God and to seek His felt presence.

The Lord has, for instance, been speaking much to me about the importance of people called to business and finances to seek the Lord and to soak in his presence.
Time can become pressing on people of business--but time with the Lord will be returned and multiplied.

It is in His presence that the anointing falls.
It is in His presence we become set apart for His purposes.
It is in His presence we receive His mantle of authority and experience His love and power.

And we all need to walk in the anointing. We all need His direction. We all need to live consecrated lives--whether pastor, or worship leader, or businessman or carpenter.
We fall short of God's purpose if we limit consecration and anointing to the sanctuary--it must also extend to all areas of a world that desperately needs to know and experience the Living God who is reconciling all things to Himself.

Lord fill and anoint Your people today.
