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

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
