TOPIC: CAUTION ON USE OF MUSICAL BAND DURING WORSHIP   
NOVEMBER Friday 9th
TEXT: Psalm 150: 1-6
KEY VERSE: Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Psalm 150: 1
QUESTION: Is it necessary to use music band in the church? I observe that the congregations no longer clap hands but are dancing worldly dance, as they are using all these worldly songs and these new songs are now replacing the old time songs. I feel carnal when I see the band in the church playing.
ANSWER: Get our sister very well: Should we use the music band, the guitar, drums in the church? She has seen the negative effect in the church. They have turned worship to an emotional thing. People now dance and the sinners who come to church, who are supposed to be sober and repent, instead they dance and laugh. They come, laugh and dance and the conviction gets lost, so when message comes, they are no more convicted. So what do we do? Do we remove the band? Well, that is an individual decision. The whole thing can be employed if the right approach is given to it; if the right play is given to it; if the right songs are sung in solemnity of worship; if it flows naturally to bless the gospel of Christ; because music was used in the Old Testament time. Elisha said, play the music for me and he got inspiration to prophecy.
God is not against music, but when it is used in the spirit of the world, it is evil. In fact many people Jesus Christ appeared to in our day have talked about Jesus’ lamentation on the way music is used in our churches today. He doesn’t receive that type of praise and worship because you are not responding with your heart, it is your body that is responding. The words of the songs are not even heard. But it is the words that are spirit and life. It is the word that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing; but now, the words that are supposed to give life are not even heard. It is the flesh that dominates, so you have no blessing, no benefits. Let the music change, let the approach change. Those who feel that they cannot control their people anymore should discard it. That will be wisdom. You know some of these music boys as we preach from place to place, they constitute nuisance to meetings. They play music for everything; they play music for announcement; they play music for prayer and they do not pray. It is destroying the solemnity of worship, turning everything to carnal pleasure.
Thought for the day: Let every church know the truth and take her decision.
Song for the day: Praise the Lord, Oh sing Oh sing Oh
Bible reading for the day:
Jeremiah 51-52; Hebrews 6

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
