CAN GOD REJECT YOU AND YOUR MUSIC AS A GOSPEL MUSICIAN?
*Amos 5:21-23*
21. I hate your show and pretence-your hypocrisy of honoring me with your religious feasts and solemn assemblies.
22. I will not accept your burnt offerings and thank offerings. I will not look at your offerings of peace.
23. Away with your hymns of praise-they are mere noise to my ears. I will not listen to your music, no matter how lovely it is.*

Now it has gotten to the point where most singers and instrumentalists sing and play for fame. Even in the church. We have turned giving God glory into receiving the glory for ourselves. We don't sing from our hearts any longer. Oh and when it is getting to one of the biggest programmes in church, where we are sure a lot of people will attend, that is when we come for rehearsals and those who don't come at all are first to come. God is seriously fed up with that. He is not a fool to be played with like that. Most of us are no longer humble because we feel we have arrived. Oh yes! "Without me leading that song or standing behind the mic, the song would not sound nice." . That is a lie from the devils pit. God gave us the talents. Why don't we use them to praise him. Because of all these and the kind of life we live everyday, our singing now sounds like clanging cymbals or a confused drummer playing all the bad sounds you can imagine. Enough of the pride and laziness. Enough of the shyness(that is also pride).
When all these things are out of our lives and we lift up worship, oh God! God will descend. His presence will be felt deeply. His presence will be a great covering upon us.
1 Samuel 16: 18 says
David was a skillful player, a man of valour, a man of war, prudent, handsome and What'a more the LORD is with Him.
How well do we rehearse the songs and instrumentals so we will be skillful, how often do we go to war(PRAY) and is the Lord with us?
Itz time we changed our attitude. Worship is also not about the singing. How do we treat the people around us? What do we do in our secret places? Do we change colours when we come to church and when we go home? Those little things we do are what will determine if we are really worshipping God. My pastor once said that the lives we live from Monday to Saturday is what determines the real christian you are. Lets change our ways. Fine we have flesh covering us but we are spirit and the devil is fighting us. Lets fight back by putting on the whole armour of God. (Ephesians 6:13-17)
