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

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

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...
