Catch on fire with enthusiasm and people will come for miles to watch you burn.
John Wesley (1703-1791, British preacher, founder of Methodism)
2 Chron 5:12-14
and all the Levitical singers, Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and kinsmen, clothed in fine linen, with cymbals, harps and lyres, standing east of the altar, and with them one hundred and twenty priests blowing trumpets in unison when the trumpeters and the singers were to make themselves heard with one voice to praise and to glorify the LORD, and when they lifted up their voice accompanied by trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and when they praised the LORD saying, "He indeed is good for His loving kindness is everlasting," then the house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud, so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God. NASU
Enthusiasm is: A quiet spiritual strength: An inner glow: Faith in action: Greatest asset in the world: Beats money power influence: Tramples over prejudice. When you speak of your church, (if you do speak of your church) are you filled with excitement and enthusiasm? Are you excited about what God is doing in your life?
God’s church has so much to be excited about, and look forward too, but most people look forward to Saturday’s much more than Sunday (that is if they don’t have to work,) then Sunday is just a day off. It has not always been this way. After reading the dedication of the Temple, you find that God inhabits excited and enthused people, those that have decided to step up a notch in their thanksgiving to God.
If we as “The Church” are not excited about our Sunday’s, how can we ask anyone else to come with us? And if when they come with us to church, if they don’t see something different and exciting, why would they want to return. We rob ourselves when we don’t exhibit our praise, for Jesus said if we were silent, then even the rocks would cry out…God Bless
