SINGING CONSCIOUSLY

-
Psalm 47:7
For God is the King of all the earth; Sing praises with understanding.

This is a day of worship. We have reason to gather with other believers to give thanks to God for all He has done for us.

We sing songs to Him, an expression of our hearts. Psalm 47:7, says we should do it with understanding!

The lyrics we must know, not just flowing with the melody or the beauty of the sound.

What are we saying?

A lot of circular music exists today with junk as lyrics. The listeners are interested in a line lyric, then they go ahead to enjoy and dance to the instrumentation or beats as it is called.

Ephesians 5:19
 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,

We are different, our music speaks, and also makes melody!

Another aspect we must consider, is our skill on the instrument. When we worship God or edify one another in music, we should "play it right".

Psalms 33:3
Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy.

* Sing new songs
* Play skillfully

It is all an offering to God, and yet we do have a nice time doing it.

That is why we have hymns of centuries ever green and never dying.

May our worship always be acceptable to God.

May we worship with understanding and play the instruments skillfully.

I see a new song in your mouth.

Do have an awesome time in His presence with the brethren today.

God bless you.

Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
