PRAISE AND WORSHIP SHOULD BE SOLEMN AND INSPIRING

Gods blessings shall follow you, for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: PRAISE AND WORSHIP SHOULD BE SOLEMN AND INSPIRING

TEXT: PSALM 149: 1-8 

SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 9TH

Key verse: Psalm 150: 1 “Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in the firmament of His power.”
QUESTION: Many churches no longer clap hands for choruses but have replaced the old hymns with worldly songs and dances. Is it okay to use music band in church?
Answer: Use of drums in churches have turned worship to carnal emotions. Sinners are not sober to repent and are not convicted by the word but dance and laugh since music gives joy. So, do we remove the music band? That is an individual decision. It can be used if the right approach is applied; playing godly songs solemnly, worship will flow naturally to bless the gospel of Christ because music was used in the Old Testament. A minstrel played for Elisha and he got inspiration for prophecy. David played a harp solemnly and an evil spirit departed from Saul. 
Music was used profitably in the Old Testament 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. Jesus does not receive such praise and worship because you do not respond with your heart but with your flesh. The words of the songs are not even heard yet the words that I speak are spirit and life. It is the Spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing but now the words that are supposed to give life are not heard. It is the flesh that profits nothing that is in ascendency. So, there are no blessings or benefits. 
Let the music approach change. Those who feel they cannot control their people anymore may ban it and it will be wisdom since they cannot control the people. Some instrumentalists go from place to place and constitute nuisance to meetings. They play music for everything; announcement, prayer, preaching…. During prayers, he gives you music. That is mechanical inspiration. As preaching is going on, somebody is playing music. It destroys the solemnity of the word and turns everything to pleasure. So, let every church know the truth and take decision.

Thought for the day: Praise ye the LORD; for it is good to sing praises unto our God. 

Song for the day: Praise the Lord; my spirit, soul and body praise the Lord.

Bible reading for the day: Proverbs 15-16; 2 Corinthians 1

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...
