Topic: Music
Memorise: O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Psalm 95:1
Read: Psalm 98:1-7 (KJV)
1 (A Psalm.) O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.
2 The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.
3 He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
5 Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.
6 With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King.
7 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
Bible In One Year: 2 Chronicles 20-22, John 16:1-15
MESSAGE:
Music is one of the most powerful element of the universe. God loves music so much that He created an archangel specifically in charge of music in Heaven. The Bible records that God made all His creations with the ability to create music. 1 Chronicle 16:33 says that “…the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the Lord…” Isaiah 44:23 says “…break forth into singing, ye mountains, and every tree therein:…” Even God Himself sings, Zephaniah 3:17b says “…He will rest in His love, He will joy over thee with singing.”
Going by these, we see that music existed before the creation of man and it is a completely spiritual affair; if you still don’t believe this, ask King Saul how tormenting spirits left him at the sound of David’s music. Whenever music plays, spirits are summoned. The kind of music will determine the kind of spirit that is invoked. Do you know that wherever worldly music is played, evil spirit visit the place? So imagine when you play worldly music and plug the earphones straight into your ears. Do you know that anyone who dances or sings along to worldly music is paying obeisance to the spirit behind the music? Watch the music you listen to.
Key Point: The kinds of music you listen to will determine the kinds of spirits that will always be around you.
Hymn 16:
1. Christian, seek not yet repose,
Hear thy gracious Savior say;
Thou art in the midst of foes:
Watch and pray.
2. Principalities and power,
Mustering their unseen array,
Wait for the unguarded hours:
Watch and pray.
3. Gird the heavenly armor on,
Wear it ever night and day;
Ambushed lies the evil one:
Watch and pray.
4. Hear the victors who o’ercame,
Still they mark each warriors’s way;
All with one sweet voice exclaim,
Watch and pray.
5. Hear, above all, hear thy Lord,
Him thou lovest to obey;
Hide within thy heart His word:
Watch and pray.
6. Watch, as if on that alone
Hung the issue of the day;
Pray, that help may be sent down:
Watch and pray.
