GODLY MUSIC IS NOT FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT OF SINNERS

God bless you for taking your time to study.

GODLY MUSIC IS NOT FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT OF SINNERS
TEXT: PSALM 137: 1- 6
THURSDAY OCTOBER 6th

KEY VERSE: Psalm 50: 16. But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare My statutes, or that thou shouldest take My covenant in thy mouth?
The psalmist reveals that godly musicians do not perform on request to entertain sinners. Godly songs and music are not for secular occasions where the name of the Lord is mocked, and His word is trampled underfoot. Hence Christian musicians that perform for ungodly audiences during naming ceremony, weddings and other festive occasions which are not in the righteousness of God, are doing so in their pursuit of filthy lucre and not for the glory of God. 
Songs of the Lord should be sung where souls can be led to Christ, believers can be edified, and the name of the Lord exalted. Christian instrumentalists and singers are not to minister for the dancing and jubilation of men in fleshly pleasure. They are to minister to make men sober, convicted, saved, sanctified, and filled with the Holy Spirit. Those who hear the songs should be filled with joy, praise, and thanksgiving to God. Not all who compose Christian songs do so by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Not all who release Christian albums do so by the instruction of God. There are those who release albums to show their musical talents, to make a name for themselves and to make money. 
Although the songs carry the name of the Lord and contain scriptural phrases, they minister to the flesh and are disastrous to the body of Christ. Many of these Christian musicians do not know the Lord and so are not walking in His truth. Believers should be able to discern such music that introduce corruptions into the church and reject them. Do not play instruments or lead others in worship when you have backslidden. Withdraw and seek the Lord's face for your cleansing and restoration before rendering service unto Him. Let not the Lord turn away from His people because of you. The ministers and elders of the people of God should ensure that backsliders and sinners are not involved in playing the instruments or leading the Lord's people in His worship.

Thought for the day: God’s presence, not musicians give life to the church.

Song For the day: I have joy like a river

Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 34-36; Philippians 2

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
