EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION IN
WORSHIP. MONDAY NOVEMBER 6
TEXT1 CORINTHIANS 14:7-12
Key
verse:“So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be
understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the
air” 1Corinthians 14:9.
Worshippers
should be able to hear what is being said clearly. Attention must be given to
clarity of communication in the worship assembly. Except the words spoken are
clearly heard, they are of no benefit and have no effect on the worshippers.
The preacher, teacher or communicator must speak in understandable language and
with clear voice. His speech must not be too fast. The grammar used must not be
above the capacity of the audience. His pronunciation must not be blurred. In
an assembly where not all in the congregation are well educated, he must select
his words to ensure he is simple enough for people to understand him. There are
preachers who preach to entertain themselves. They do not mind whether the
audience understands them or not. Make effort to communicate in the way your
audience will understand you. Church leaders must make provision for those in
the worship service who do not understand the central language in use. Adequate
provision should be made for interpretation to the various languages
represented in the worship service. Wisdom is profitable to direct. The gospel
is both for the educated and the illiterates, the blind and the deaf. Jesus
died for all and the gospel is for all. The preacher is sent to both the wise
and unwise, the educated and the illiterate. He is a debtor to all. All must be
given the privilege to hear the gospel for the salvation of their souls, Romans
1:14-15. Gospel singers should ensure that the words of their songs are clear
and understandable. What ministers' life to the hearers are words of the songs
and not the melody or the rhythm of the instruments. It may require that words
of the song be read out and explained to the audience before rendition. The
public address system should be able to convey the message clearly to the
worshippers in all parts of the hall of meeting and to those sitting outside
the meeting hall. Good public address system is required to achieve good
results. The leadership of the church needs to give priority to this. The
worshippers may not get the message clearly when there is distraction. Solution
should be proffered for every kind of distraction in order to maximize the
intake of God's word by worshippers. A separate section will be required for
the children and the physically challenged (the deaf) for effective
communication of the gospel to them, using applicable methods and teaching
aids.
Thought for
the day: Wisdom is profitable to direct. The gospel is both for the educated
and the illiterates.
Song for the
day: More, more about Jesus (2X)....
