Singing Unto The Lord in Worship Services 

Wednesday 23rd July

Text: Ephesians 5:19, 20
Key verse: Psalms 119:7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments 
Singing was one of the activities in the worship service of the early church. The apostle's instructions in the above passages may be put as follows: The believers should use psalms, hymns and spiritual songs to teach and admonish one another; the words of the songs sung should be understandable to the audience for their edification, exhortation and comfort; the songs sung should proceed from a heart that has experienced the grace of God in salvation and cleansing from sin; the melody of the song should be such as will make the heart joyful and edified. 
Singing is an act of worship rendered to the Lord. Singing is a spiritual service to be rendered by those who are born of the spirit. The songs sung in God's worship are spiritual songs. Singing draws our hearts and emotions to God and makes us love, appreciate and worship Him. Songs strengthen our faith and inspire us to pray and serve the Lord heartily. The songs must be spiritual songs. The melody must appeal to the heart and not to the flesh. The ministry of songs has led many sinners to Christ and provoked many to consecrate their lives to holy living and Christian service. 
We must sing with righteousness, love, joy, faith, liveliness, and skill to inspire others to this holy duty. The choir members of the local church and those who desire to minister in songs must dress modestly and in holiness. The church must strictly forbid those in ungodly attire from ministering in songs. Many congregations give more time to singing in their worship service than to prayer and the preaching of the word of God because it is an emotional activity and many desire to engage in it, especially, when accompanied with musical instruments. We must ensure that those who are given the privilege to minister in songs are true children of God who present their songs, not for self-glory, but for the glory of God and edification of the brethren. 
Thought for the day: Preaching and teaching do more to nourish and establish the believers than singing 
Song for the day: I will sing unto the Lord, a joyful song
Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 32-34

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...

My Father will order the angels to sound the trumpet. Be ready! Do My work. Gather My people.” When He said that, He insisted and said, “I am gathering My people with My Spirit.

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...
