Meditate on: 1 Corinthians 14:15 Coping Words (CW)
« Well then, what shall I do? There are times when I pray In the Holy Spirit, and times when I pray in words I understand. Times when I sing the Holy Spirit and at other times I sing in words I understand. »
Read: 2 Kings 3:15-17 NKJV
15 But now bring me a musician.” Then it happened, when the musician played, that the hand of the Lord came upon him.
16 And he said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Make this valley full of ditches.
17 For thus says the Lord: ‘You shall not see wind, nor shall you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, so that you, your cattle, and your animals may drink.’
1 Samuel 16:23 KJV
And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
Message
Worship is the most important part of any meeting with God.
Anyone who is not baptized in the Holy Ghost should not be a worship leader.
A good voice is not the qualification to be a worship leader.
There is difference between a talented singer and the anointed one- which are you?
Worshipers are supposed to glorify God and it takes the Holy Spirit to do this.
In John 16:13, Jesus Christ said it is the Holy Spirit who would glorify Him. John 4:23-24 tells us that God is a Spirit and those who worship Him are to worship Him in Spirit and in truth.
While the presence of God is felt when some singers get on the stage and miracles happen, others do so without the same results because they have not connected with the Holy Spirit.
Our spirits are lifted when singing hymns and choruses- not because they were written by angels but by people who were filled with the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit breathed on them and they wrote what He inspired them to write.
The Spirit never dies, that is why hymns are evergreen.
When next you are writing a song, remember that the letter kills but the Spirit gives life (2 Corinthians 3:6).
If you are a chorister, seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
If you are a Pastor, make sure that everyone who climbs on the altar to lead worship is baptized in the Holy Spirit.
Let there be no instrumentalist who is not baptized in the Holy Ghost.
Worship is like food to God let us be very careful with the kind of food we bring to His table.
If there are no instrumentalists, we have a ten-stringed instrument provided by God- our hands. God made voices and hands before musical instruments. If that is the only pure thing you have to offer Him, He is fine with it.
« Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph! »
Psalm 47:1 NKJV
Application: The role of a worship leader is not to entertain, but rather, to bring down the power of God.
