SING IN YOUR WORSHIP

-

Psalms 30:4

Sing praise to the LORD, You saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.


Singing is an activity that gives an atmosphere of joy to any person. It most times denotes happiness, that the mind is merry.


James 5:13b

Are any of you happy? You should sing praises.


Every believer ought to practice singing in praise to God. In it we confess who He is and what He has done.


It doesn't even have to start out loud, begin your singing from within then let it flow to the outside. Be in tune with allowing your heart worship the Lord in songs. Then where you are would not matter, you are praising nonetheless.


One of the first entry of singing praises to God was that which Moses, Miriam and the whole of Isreal sang, when the Lord used Moses to give Isreal victory from the hand of Pharoah.


Exodus 15:1 & 21

Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the LORD, and spoke, saying: "I will sing to the LORD, for He has triumphed gloriously! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!

 And Miriam answered them: "Sing to the LORD, for He has triumphed gloriously! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!"


Songs abound everywhere, different languages, various lyrics and different styles and melody. For the believer we should separate the secular from the worship.


We know that music itself is spiritual, we ofcourse, need to be careful what we sing. However it is the meaning you put in a song that will define what it connotes or stands for.


In all, no matter what we sing and for what reason, we must be able to have enough time to sing in worship and thanksgiving to God. A grateful heart is one filled with joy and is qualified to receive more.


Psalms 71:22-23

Then I will praise you with music on the harp, because you are faithful to your promises, O my God. 

I will sing praises to you with a lyre,O Holy One of Israel.

I will shout for joy and sing your praises, for you have ransomed me.


Listen, sing in accord not disjointed sounds, offbeats or lack of cohesion, if you must offer anything to the Lord, let it be the best or at least good. Selah


If you have gone quiet, it is time to awaken your singing in worship to God in hymns and spiritual songs.


Not in noise making or becoming a nuisance to others, but in organised melody, decent, honourable and pleasing to God.


Colossians 3:16

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.


Ephesians 5:19

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


The heart is the soul of the music!


What is the condition of your heart. Do you continually detox?


Let us remember:


Colossians 3:17

And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.


Let your actions cause people to praise the Lord!


He calls us blessed.


Love

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
