PROPER USE OF INSTRUMENTS IN PRAISE AND WORSHIP

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED. 

TOPIC: PROPER USE OF INSTRUMENTS IN PRAISE AND WORSHIP  

DATE: TUESDAY MAY 4

TEXT: Psalm 150: 1-6

KEY VERSE: Ephesians 5: 19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

Whatever instruments used to praise and worship God must be with solemn sounds. It should produce solemn sounds that inspire worship. The purpose is for worship not for entertainment. 

Sadly, modern-day churches have misused instruments to send away the Holy Spirit from among them. Thus these have become accursed instruments used to send away the Holy Ghost from among them. 

They now stir up all kinds of pollutions. The people playing them are not children of God. They dress as worldly musicians. The styles, rhythm and beats they play do not glorify God. Their music is designed to arouse fleshly emotions as in disco halls. 

The sobriety and solemnity required in worship to honour God and bring conviction to sinners for repentance are lost and sinners and backsliders rather dance and remain unconverted. 

Knowing what these instruments do to congregations, we protect ourselves by not exposing our members to the danger of worldly gospel music. If indeed the Lord has called you to the music industry, it shall be music that glorifies God. 

If you do it to the glory of God, it will be good, because music is also part of the scriptures. Now that the world has taken over gospel music, do we withdraw or raise people like David to offer godly praise unto God? When David played the instruments evil spirit went out from King Saul.

Note that singing is music with or without instruments. Congregational songs, hymns and choruses with clapping of hands are part of music, with or without musical instruments. Be informed that all through the New Testament era musical instruments are not mentioned except the use of harps in praise worship of God by redeemed saints in heaven. 

This is the requirement of scripture. We do not need musical instruments to achieve this. Careful use of musical instruments can still achieve this, but what is important is singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord. 

Thought for the day: Sobriety and solemnity are needed in the worship of God

Song for the day: Praise the Lord my spirit, soul and body (3x) Shout Alleluia!

Bible reading for the day: 1 Kings 8-9; 
Luke 23:39-56. #Horemow

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...

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
