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

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
