Rejesha - worship medley by Collins Otieno

Acts 3:19-21:
"Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that he may send the Christ, who has been appointed for you—even Jesus. He must remain in heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago".

Key Aspects of the Restoration of Worship
Return to True Worship:
This concept often involves a return to God's original intent and practices for worship, free from corruption, idolatry, and man-made traditions that have crept in over time.

Spiritual Revival:
It can also be understood as a spiritual renewal or revival within individuals and communities, marked by a renewed hearts of worship and a deeper connection with God.

Biblical Examples:
King Josiah: He actively removed idols and restored true worship after the discovery of the Law.

Ezra and Nehemiah: During their time, the people gathered to hear the Law, and they engaged in acts of worship, such as bowing their heads and lifting their hands in prayer and praise.

Jesus and the Early Church: Jesus cleansed the Temple and taught about worshiping in spirit and truth (John 4:23-24), while the early church in Acts established communal practices centered on the apostles' teachings, prayer, and breaking bread.

Rebuilding God's Sanctuary:
A key part of the restoration theme involves the rebuilding of God's dwelling place, whether that is a physical temple or the body of believers themselves.

Promise of Grace and Glory:
God's grace is seen as the driving force behind this restoration, bringing wealth, honor, and glory into the lives of those who seek Him.
Why Restoration is Necessary

Spiritual Stagnation:
Worshipers may experience a "cold" or "ruined" heart of worship, losing their connection to God due to sin or neglect.

Idolatry and Corruption:
Over time, sincere worship can be replaced by human traditions and forms of worship that are far from God's original design.

Need for a Vital Relationship:
Restoration reminds people that their true happiness and fulfillment are found by seeking and worshiping God first.
