Day 13
Happy Sunday and how was church??!!!
I have come across very interesting insights about my reflection of today. This one is mainly for my fellow music ministers. Let’s talk about it! 😅😅😅
From where I stand, we generally associate the presence of God with slow paced songs only. In a 30 minute praise and worship set it it almost feels like the first 2 or 3 songs are "placeholders" for the last half of the session where the Holy Spirit is expected to be present. So where was He all along?
I wonder what kind of song Mirriam sang when the children of Israel triumphed over Pharaoh, or the one King David danced to until he tore his inners! Or better still the one Paul and Silas sang til the prison doors opened!
I have learnt that we tend to place God in a box that fits our perspective, preferences and world view. Is the Spirit of God deterred by the pace of a song?
God's music is meant to uplift, bring honour to Him and draw us closer to Him. For everything there is a time and place. At times we need to be uplifted out of that trench of depression, at times we need to hear Him in that still small voice, either way, God is present!
My understanding is: it is a heart issue. The Word says guard your heart with all diligence from out of it flows the issues of life. We know deep down the posture of our heart when we do what we do. The pace of the song need not remove our eyes from the Savior. Or are we our own limiting factors? 🤔🤔
Our role as worship leaders is to seek God to give us songs that direct our eyes to Him. Sometimes we leave the people of God with no choice, honestly 😆
We need Word based "praise" songs that actually praise God. For He dwells in the PRAISES of his people! How beautiful it would be if our praise/fast praise songs are reflective of God's grace, remove shackles, invite the presence of God from start to finish and leave the body of Christ actually uplifted!
Looking forward to your thoughts!
My songs for the day are "Tarisa" & "Ndinobuda Pakaoma" by Minister Michael Mahendere
