They all belongs to you. "
This words are lyrics from "Damita Haddon's" song "It all belongs to you".
John 6:63b NIV
...the words I have spoken to you,
they are full of the Spirit and life.
Jesus'words bring to mind this question,
Do we really understand the words in the song when we sing?
I've been in the music ministry for a while and I have seen a lot of things and I can say for free that some person's truly don't understand the songs they sing that's the reason we're having lots of emotional singers singing to emotional people. To this effect we see little or no result of the manifestation of God when we gather in our worship meetings (concert), church services etc. We fail to understand that the songs we sing are spirit and also life.
John 1:1NIV
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
We don't just sing melodies or harmony, rather what process out of our mouths are words and they are powerful but because some don't know, they don't see results and so we end up having lots of entertainers.
N/B: Entertainment in itself is not wrong, it have a place as far as music is concern. But an understanding of what we do makes it powerful to the one who hears it and also the one who entertainer.
Why we see little or no miracles in our meetings as music minister's, I believe it's because we've fail to understand that our ministry is first in word (God's word) before singing. When we understand this, we will be conscious of every word that comes out of our mouths in/out of stage.
THE BIG QUESTION
How much word do you have inside of you?
Psalm 119:11 KJV
Thy word have I hid in mine heart,
that I might not sin against thee.
You know you can have the best of voice but yet word empty. You can be so skilled but yet empty inside.
See the devil and his agent does not respect your vocal strength neither are they interested in the amount of skill you have but the amount of God's word inside of you makes them tremble. That's why you see some person's sing with much passion but yet no result, at most what you get is emotional feelings.
Is emotion is worship wrong? No.
When emotions are driven by the Holy Spirit, you have a positive result. People who feel emotional at the point when the song is at its pick and end up forgetting everything that happened in the meeting. But when the Holy Spirit is involved, you have an experience backing that feelings.
Truth is people can fall on the ground (under anointing) and stand up without an experience. The Holy Spirit is the one that gives that experience but the music ministry have a role to play to set the atmosphere for Him to operate.
Revelation 12:11 KJV
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony...
I SING, I UNDERSTAND
1 Corinthians 14:15 NIV
So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my understanding.
As minstrels in whatever office you occupy, you must understand that the songs you sing is power and also a tool in the hands of God for deliverance, healing, breakthrough etc. The songs we sing are Spirit and they are life and if we don't have enough of this word (God's word) in us, how then do we operate in our office's? Remember what you have is what you gives, if God's word is life, then we give out life when we sing and so if you don't have life in you, what will you give?
Go for the word, stay with the word, build on the word and you'll see positive change in your personal life and ministry.
Joshua 1:8 NIV
Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.
Let's stop this emotional manipulations and do what God have called us to do.
Stay blessed.
