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

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...
