Subject: Good Order in Worship I never seen this before in the brick and motor buildings and I’ve been around the brick and motor since i was eight I’m 52 the Good Order in Worship is YHWH ideal we should see this everywhere it’s because man have their own agenda that is why we are not seeing Good Order in Worship.
Sad to say the leadership nowadays are not passing the 🎤 so the people sitting in the congregation not having the opportunity to understand that YHWH Want to speak through them as well.
The Holy Spirit envisions a world where every one of us becomes a passionate disciples, empowered to spread the word in love and kindness, creating a ripple effect of discipleship that honors YHWH and inspires a godly transformation the reason why everyone have to be biblically disciples at that point everyone will have something to say for YHWH.
1 Corinthians 14:26
Good Order in Worship
What then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up.
The Problem: Disorderly Worship: The Corinthian church was enthusiastic but chaotic. Members were speaking over each other, focusing on spectacular gifts like tongues, and creating confusion rather than spiritual education we are in 2026 and we are seeing the same things today.
1 Corinthians, which includes 14:26, was written by the Apostle Paul during his stay in Ephesus, commonly dated between 53–57 CE. Many scholars suggest a more specific timeframe of early 54 CE, during Paul's second missionary journey, or shortly thereafter. It was written to the church in Corinth to address issues of order in worship the same issues is going on today.
The Ideal Gathering: Verse 26 describes a highly participatory gathering where everyone brought something—a hymn, a word of instruction, a revelation, or a tongue we don’t see everyone being used by YHWH because leadership have their own agenda.
The Principle: Edification: Paul emphasizes that all things must be done for edification—the strengthening and building up of the church body, rather than personal display.
The Solution: Orderly Stewardship of Gifts:Turn-taking: Speaking in tongues (with interpretation) and prophesying should be limited to two or three people, taking turns.Control: The speaker has control over their gift, meaning they can and should be quiet if things are out of order.
The Context of Women’s Empowerment: Verses 34-35, which address women's participation, can be seen as part of a broader effort to create a more harmonious and respectful community, where everyone has the opportunity to contribute meaningfully, without disruptions or interruptions, and where women's voices are valued, as evident in Paul's earlier acknowledgment of women prophesying in 11:5. Paul concludes this section by affirming that YHWH is a YHWH of peace, emphasizing the importance of order and respect in corporate worship, which can foster a sense of unity and shared purpose.
Reflecting on my own experiences attending various churches over the years, I have noticed that disorderly worship is a common struggle even today, much like what the Apostle Paul addressed in 1 Corinthians. The chaotic overlaps of voices and competing spiritual displays often leave congregants confused rather than spiritually encouraged. What resonates most with me in this passage is the call for everyone to participate meaningfully during worship, whether through hymns, words of instruction, revelations, or interpretations, as part of building up the church body. In practical terms, this calls for an intentional leadership approach that prioritizes passing the microphone and creating space for all voices within the congregation. Leadership agendas can unintentionally stifle this, but when the focus shifts to honoring YHWH’s ideal of good order, worship becomes a shared experience that nurtures discipleship and spiritual growth. Taking turns and controlling the use of spiritual gifts—such as tongues and prophecy—not only prevents confusion but honors the spirit of edification that Paul emphasized. Moreover, I find the broader context of women’s empowerment within this passage encouraging. Despite certain verses that some may view as restrictive, Paul’s earlier acknowledgment of women prophesying reminds us that everyone’s voice is valuable in worship. Achieving good order involves creating an atmosphere of respect where both men and women can contribute without disruption. The motivational quote from the image, "IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO learn NO ONE CAN HELP YOU. DETERMINED IF YOU ARE learn TO NO ONE CAN STOP YOU," perfectly ties into this. It emphasizes the personal commitment required for spiritual growth and unity in worship. Embracing good order isn’t simply about external rules but about a willing heart to learn, grow, and actively participate for the church’s upliftment. In my journey, when churches implement these principles—turn-taking, respect for others’ gifts, and fostering a spirit of inclusivity—the worship experience transforms dramatically. It invites a ripple effect where discipleship flourishes, and a godly transformation truly honors YHWH’s heart for His people.
