One of the key ways to to receive directly from God is in the place of worship, blessings are released, chains are broken.
For the purpose of the word worship to be fulfill in our life's, there are some basic questions we need to answer.

what is the meaning of worship?
who or what are we to worship?
when should we worship?
what happens when we worship

       what is the meaning of worship

Dictionary definition of worship means the conditions of being worthy, honour, distinction or outstanding or it can also means the devotion accorded to a deity or to a sacred object.
It can also means the ardent love of a person, ardent in this context means full of arder, fervent, passionate, glowing or shinning

In actual fact, Christians today worship so many things aside from God unconsciously such as phones, money, cloth based on the ultimate priority the gave to those things without even realising it. Worship should be something we render sacredly to one true personality which is the Almighty God the creator of heavens and the earth.
Worshipping does not necessarily means to sing alone, you can worship God through referencing his name, saying sweet things to Him, eulogizing, praying with humility

       who or what are we to worship?

Isaiah 13:4, Psalm 48:1-14, Matthew 4:10. The Almighty God is awesome in power and he his able to do exceedingly above all that we could ask for. God can do all things but the only things he can't to is to worship himself. Therefore, the primary aim of human Creation by God is for us to have dominion and to fellowship with him in terms of worship. The Bible point it out God himself inhabit the praises and Worship of his people.
Countless number of religious act practice the word worship , its should noted that the only true God worthy of all our worship is the one True Almighty God

     ___why should we worship God___

Reasons why Christians must worship God are numerous, so of which are as follows:

Because he his the creator of heaven and earth Genesis 1:1
Because he created us(human) in his own image after his own likeness Genesis 1:26
Because he his holy Revelation 7:11, 11:6
Because his the creator of all things money, herbs, air, water and so on

     ___When should we worship?___

Worshipping God has no due date or time, it is never time bound. Worshipping God should be something we do all the time. Anytime, anywhere when the holy spirit lead you to worship, don't hesitate to do so. Jesus as our perfect exam worship God anytime he wants to perform miracles, signs and wonders. Christians nowadays as restrict worshipping God to inside the church alone, ones they are out side the four wall of the building, they felt there worship is not accepted. Let it be known that the best place to worship God is in our heart

        what do we need to worship God

Keys things needed in order for our worship to be accepted are as follows

Our heart:- from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, like I said earlier the best place to worship God should be in your heart, let your heart be connected. Your voice, skills, money does not makes your worship acceptable, your heart does. The degree to which your heart is connected to him (God) in the place of worship results to it being accepted.

Our total concentration:- it baffles me when I see Christians while in the place of Worship still have the time to either press phones, charge there phones and do all sort things. Before your heart can be connected to receive from God while worshipping, you 100% attention should be devoted. **Attention divided is blessings denied. **

Our body, soul and spirit:- man is made up of body soul and spirit. It is possible for someone's physical body to be in the place of worship and his spirit is somewhere else. Let your spirit be connected with flow of worship. John 4:24

          what happens when we worship
  1. His presence will come down and dwell with us
  2. His blessings will be released
  3. Our soul and body will be lifted up
  4. Chains are broken
  5. Deep secret things of the lord will be revealed
  6. Miracles, signs and wonders flows.
    7 Fruit of the holy spirit will be released e.g. joy, peace happiness etc.

Conclusion
Right attitude and mind is need to worship God in truth and in spirit, this can only done through the help of the holy spirit. Each times we want to worship, ask for the devine direction from the holy spirit in what to say or do.

God bless you
