the revelation of the power in praise. You may even have seen some ministers
and pastors coming into the sanctuary after the praise and worship session has
ended.

2021 – Maintain Your Identity In God
When
you ask them as they sit comfortably in their Church office if they would be at
the service, they would answer It is still the worship session; I’ll join in
later.
Any
leader who trivialises praise and worship would not see the need to help equip
the choir for inspirational ministrations.
Our
Scripture reading for today is very instructive. It lists musical instruments
we can use to offer high praises to our God: the trumpet, psaltery, harp and so
on.
Open Heaven 10 December 2021 – OPEN HEAVEN FOR TODAY
The
psalmist also qualifies the cymbals with which we should praise our God thus:
loud and sounding. Thus, we can infer that our praises should be as loud as
possible to the Almighty God.
The
story of King Jehoshaphat and his encounter with the three allied forces who
had come to attack him also shows the importance of having well-equipped choristers.
Beloved,
when our praise to the Lord goes up, He sends down victory to the Church. Thus,
we would not need to fight at all as He would always fight on our behalf.
2
Chronicles 20:17 says: “Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set
yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah
and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the
Lord will be with you.”
Jehoshaphat
appointed singers solely to sing praises to the Lord (2 Chronicles 20:21) How
beautiful would it be if our pastors engage some choristers on a full-time
basis to sing Gods praises whether there is a congregational service or not. It
yields results! An example is in 2 Chronicles 20:22.
We
must pay good attention to equipping our Choir, Christian orchestra and praise
singers because they too are Gods ministers with divine power to deliver
victory to the Body of Christ.
Beginning
from today, let us commit to giving them the necessary support and instruments
so we all can praise the Lord effectively. Whether you are a pastor, minister,
worker or member of the congregation, make a commitment to help equip your
Church choir, from today.
Open Heaven 10 December 2021 PRAYER POINT:
Help to equip the Music Ministry of your Church.
God will honour our investments and reward you bountifully in Jesus name.
