GT's Live Worship - WORTHY Worship Nite

What can i say? God was definitely GLORIFIED and PRAISED thru out the worship nite. God's presence was so real and so beautiful. Worthy Worship Nite was simply a nite where the church came together and worship and worship and worshipped even more!

If we took away the lights, the stage, the instruments, the mics .... I believe everyone would have just kept on worshipping. There was this amazing presence of God that was touching the 1,000+ worshippers in church. Managed to capture a short video when the church was singing in accapella the beautiful song ... Heart of Worship (below).

The presence of God blew me away ... many whom i spoke with said how wonderful the presence of God "IS" during the worship nite, and that we should have this more often!!!
I believe that the heart of man, is always seeking to WORSHIP, and a nite dedicated to Worship will always draw men into His House!

Experience True Live Worship - Friday at Glad Tidings

The nite is themed WORTHY! We are coming together as worshippers to honour our God and to place Him above all else for He is most WORTHY of all Praise!

We are all extremely excited as the whole church comes collaboratively together to set this Worship nite in motion. It will not be a loud banging concert or a high quality presentation; quite the opposite it will be a worship event where everyone comes together and worship in their elements of dance, singing, playing musical instruments, working the av equipments .... in an awe-inspired worship to God!! :)

Even the songs chosen have been rather unique. In "these sort of events" (trying not to generalized concerts and worship events), the latest and cool songs are always picked. But the songs that are on the song list for WORTHY is just totally different! I don't wanna give it away, cos it would be great if you could enjoy all the bits of singing and worship tomorrow nite!! Okies... one hint .. we have songs ranging from the 80s to the current century!! :)

Take this opportunity to bring along family and frens to the Worship nite, so that they can experience God in a holistic way! Make sure you get to church on time and don't miss out on any parts of the Worthy Worship Nite. Come and join us for an EXCITING nite in Worship!!

Remix : I Will Enter His Gates With Thanksgiving

Hahaha ... this is so funny! Its a remixed version of one of the old praise songs from the good ol' 1980s. If you use song books back in the '80s called Scripture in Chorus ... then you'll definitely know this song. If my memory fails me not ... it should be song no16!!

Watch the Insyderz remix I Will Enter His Gates (They called it HE HAS MADE ME GLAD) from their Skalleluia Album! :)






Watch the Video and Sing along with Insyderz

Verse
I will enter His gates with thanksgiving in my heart
I will enter His courts with praise
I will say this is the day
That the Lord has made
I will rejoice for He has made me glad

Chorus
He has made me glad
He has made me glad
I will rejoice for
He has made me glad
(Repeat)

Song : If Not For Your Grace

Where would I be
If not for your grace
Carrying me in every season

Where would I be
If not for your grace
Came to my rescue
I want to thank You

For Your Grace

Chorus
Grace that restore
Grace that redeem
Grace that releases me to worship

Grace that repaints
Vision and dreams
Grace that release miracles

Bridge
Your Grace
Your Grace

A Deeper Level Book by Israel Houghton

Stumbled upon StreamingFaith's website and discovered that Israel Houghton not only cut an album by the name of A DEEPER LEVEL, but he actually wrote the Book first!!

Yeah .. i am sure it might be news to some of you too!!

Read the excerpt of the book below, where Israel talks about the weight of responsibility he has in impacting the people around him!! Read it below.

And if u can't wait either of it, BUY it from the links below

Excerpt from, "A Deeper Level" by Israel Houghton

I feel the weight of responsibility in this matter. I feel that any of us who have been given any kind of platform of influence in this world have no choice but to use what God has given us to make a difference—a significant difference—in the lives of widows, orphans, and the elderly.

It was a bittersweet epiphany when I saw Bono, the lead singer of U2, introduce his latest social effort, “Product Red.” This is a licensed brand that he created with such companies as American Express, Apple Computer, Converse, Motorola, The Gap, and Giorgio Armani. Each company has created a product that carries the Product Red logo and gives a percentage of the proceeds to fight AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. In announcing the effort, he said, “Product Red is a result of us seeing a problem and forcing consumers worldwide to do something about it.”

Later, in an interview with Bill Hybels, he said, “We are doing this because the church of America has not. She’s still asleep!”

When I heard this, I felt angry and hurt because I knew he was right. Therefore, I restate my claim that it is impossible to call ourselves worshippers, or worship leaders, and not be moved—even consumed—with God’s heart for justice, compassion, and effective change toward “the least of these” around our community and around the globe. I refuse to do another concert, or have another great gathering of believers, and not do my best to rally us as the body of Christ to consistent, authentic justice and measurable change.

The Stirring of Change

For me, this began around 1994 when I started to make visits to Africa once or twice every year. In 2005, we released a live worship CD that was recorded in Cape Town. The people there have always captivated me. When we play there, I see the radiance of the faces of these people who literally walk miles to hear us play. I know their feet hurt. I know that they are either going to walk back or cram onto a bus with a bunch of other people in order to return to a home that is nothing close to our American standard of a house. It is probably constructed of tin and has no air conditioning or even running water. And yet I watch them in worship, saying, “Jesus, I love You. You’re the greatest!” It’s amazing.

At some point, I decided that I couldn’t experience all of that and then go back to Houston and lose it within a week. I was moved, and I tried to figure out why. I kept feeling God’s heart so close. It wasn’t about me feeling bad for being affluent or American. I think it was simply God showing me that these were people I liked hanging out with. But He was saying, “If you want to hang out with Me at a deeper level, you’re going to have to tap into this.”

The Least of These

Not too long ago, I felt myself in this moment of worship, and I was saying all the right things: “God, You’re here. We just sense Your presence. Blah, blah, blah.” And I truly heard God say, “Dude, I’m not even here.” That tripped me up because there is nothing theologically correct about it. Obviously God is omnipresent—ever present, everywhere. And I certainly don’t think that God goes around calling people “Dude.” I just know what I heard.

That led me into Scripture, where I saw the kind of people Jesus was drawn to, and conversely, the people who got under His skin. I was really struck by His words in one particular passage of Scripture in Matthew:

“I was hungry and you gave me somethingto eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was inprison and you came to visit me.” Then the righteous will answer him, “Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?” The King will reply, “I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:35–40)

It has become clear to me that, according to this passage, Jesus not only cares for the poor and the broken; He identifies with them. He is with them, and they are a part of Him. They are one and the same. Where you find them, you will find Him!

Israel Houghton's You Are Not Forgotten & Interview on My Fox TV

Thanks to faithbasedblog, we can share this lovely video with you. This is a recent TV Interview of Israel Houghton on his new album - A Deeper Level on My Fox, Houston TV.

I didnt know that Israel Houghton won a grammy, till i watched it on the Video. See Israel talk about Lakewood Church and his busy schedule as they launch their new album.

Finally Israel will sing the song You Are Not Forgotten (Last Track from A Deeper Level CD). Its different from Say So, its a slow paced song and sets a totally different mood!

Watch & Be Blest by the Video below. (6.18 mins)





Requested by Liv, Here's the Lyrcis for You Are Not Forgotten


Verse1
People walking by, very seldom they say hi, they don’t know how wonderful you are
If they only knew all the things you’ve been through, if only they could see your heart
I hear you crying for help, please don’t blame yourself;
You are not forgotten, you are not forgotten


Verse2
When it’s time to go to sleep and you try your best to keep yourself from falling apart.
There’s no need to fear, because I’m already here, and I’m the one who sees your heart
I hear you crying for help, please don’t blame yourself;
You are not forgotten, you are not forgotten


Bridge
You are not just a face in the crowd, you are not a forgotten child
Let me whisper it loud, I love you, oh, I love you


Verse3
You can hold your head up high, ’cause I’ll make everything alright,
I’m committed to you smiling again
And eventually you’ll see people’s similarities, everyone just needs a friend
And when they’re crying for help, you’ll be able to tell them, please tell them for Me


Tag
You are not forgotten, you are not forgotten
You are not forgotten, you are not forgotten


Outro
Just remember, you are not forgotten

To be salt and light in the world (in the world)
