By Colette Foreman


It is definitely a given for people to praise the Almighty Power who has given them the blessings of life. Some people prefer to worship their Almighty Power. On the other hand, there are those people who prefer to do it together with their brothers and sisters of Yahweh. Praise and worship services are meant for the latter.

The spiritual meeting will be started by one leader. Through the leader, the praise and worship meant for the Lord will be livened up and made sincerely. Being a leader, you have the job of making this meeting successful. If you are a leader of one particular praise and worship meeting, here are the tips that you should take into account.

To become a more effective leader, you should watch what you are doing. If this is the first time you are leading a meeting, then it should be fine if you have bad habits. It can improve over time.

You have to make certain that everyone around you is involved in the activities of the meeting. Whether it be praying or singing, you have to be aware of your participants.

There will be various songs played during the praise and worship. As the prayer leader, you will the congregation to singing the said songs. If you are singing the songs, do so like you mean it. The congregation will see through your expressions whether you really understood the song or not at all.

The readings and transitions are also important to the praise and worship service. Since these are important parts of the service, you have to make sure that you use them wisely. When you are speaking or reading the verses, you need to be sincere, conversational, and reverent. Use the right expressiveness and emphasis.

The songs that you will be singing during the said praise and worship service should have a big relevance to the Scripture that you are reading for the day. You need to tell your attendees just what it is within that song that closely explains the Scripture. An explanation is required of you.

Be engaging. Remember that the primary role of a leader of the praise and worship is to facilitate and even enable other people to participate in what is going on during the said meeting. You do more than just leading the songs and readings. You got to be engaging to your participants by listening to them or reacting to them properly.

Pray. This is definitely a very important part of the praise and worship. You have to lead everyone to a solemn minute of prayer. Of course, even for yourself you got to pray so that the Lord will guide you to become a spiritual leader that can help the Lord's children. You got to ask guidance from the Lord as well.
