THE GOD OF MUSIC

​*THINKING OUT LOUD* 

Why should we let the devil have all the brilliance and excellence of good music? 

Why should we offer half-baked, inane and debased music to an Excellent God, a mighty God? Worship has come very much to the forefront in the body of christ and we *must* therefore set a prodigious standard for the same; let there be a proliferation of new songs, worship albums and books to revive and renew Biblical worship.  

Secular artists are dropping new albums each month, here we are still singing “kama siyo wewe” and “amazing grace” in the same manner that we did a decade ago. Understand that we were created to worship the King of Kings. Kingdom place demands Excellence. Let’s examine the worship (as regards music expressionism) and place a proper and Biblical perspective to the same. We serve a God of music. He created Lucifer, a Music demagogue, who in pride exalted himself and was so impeached and banished from the heavens. 

I am saddened by the massive dilution of the Gospel and the spiritual stagnation in our times. A mere form of godless, etrapolately powerless. 

Those involved in leading and playing in worship need to be aware of two real problems, one is the  commercial hype which is building up around worship Music, and the other the tension between musical styles and tastes. Remember that worship is for God. God created music and He knows what type of music is appropriate for worshipping Him…

*THINKING OUT LOUD/BLACK AND WHITE*

Worship is the source of vitality and freshness of Church Life. We therefore need to revive and renew styles and forms of worship that are dead. This includes playing of musical instruments and choice of songs. 

•It’s very important to examine music from a Biblical perspective, the proper perspective, walking and working with God. Understand that worship is not only a necessity but also a priority in Church life. 

•Relationship between church leaders, musicians and worship leaders is therefore indelibly important for developing worship.

•Understand that principles govern each facet of the Church’s Musical Life. 

   *THE GOD OF MUSIC* 

•I propose to you that God loves music. I echo the words of the 60s Youth Church, *”why should the devil have all the good music?”* 

• Music is a very emotive subject, especially because it always, which should not be the case, arouses prejudice rather than rationality. But know this, Music as a creative art is amoral, it’s man, in his fallen state that translates the amoral music to become either moral or licentious, noble or ignoble. 

• The outflow of a spirit-filled life is the desire to worship, understand that man is a spirit, and that man by nature, is spontaneously a worshipping being. 

• In as much as music is not worship it can be induced and imbued as a tool and media of worship, the good book exults us to sing a new song unto the lord, a euphonious and paean praise unto the king of kings, with harps, lyres and cymbals; *GOD is interested in Excellence of Music* 

•God not only created music, He Himself is a maestro, an impeachable musician the Bible shows God singing in
