MY TIMELESS CHRISTMAS MESSAGE

It is another Christmas season. Yes, another Christmas season and what else than to go to church, the story of Jesus be retold as usual, after which we make merry and just have fun.

Is that not what Christmas is all about?

‘Wellll’, don’t you get tired of the normal (the cliché)… such that it appears to have lost its essence.

But wait……. Have we really sat down to reflect on the meaning, essence& significance of Christmas?

More so, have we really thought of what life would be like if Jesus had not manifested in human form to save us from eternal bondage.

Paul rightly put it when he said…. “What would become of us if Christ had not come to die for us?”

Amazingly, all these are embedded in that simple story that is told every year. I tell you but this simple story that is mostly taken for granted has something great & eternal. 

That if only we will let his spirit continually speak to us about this season, we would have a joyful and fulfilling life.

 (I told someone of my personal experience with Christmas messages every year and how i always get something new if I pay attention, focus on its essence and not trivialize or familiarize it)

And so it is Christmas. It is about none other than Christ-our Saviour, Redeemer, Comforter and Conqueror….in whom we will have eternal rest.

Finally, think about Christmas this way: let it be a time that you will seek to know Christ more and more every year.

(You can choose to call it Christmas from now on, I don’t think the English people will mark you on that)

Have funnn……but always know it is all about Christ….


Merry Christmas… Afehyiapa oooo

*CONCLUDING THE MUSIC SERIES*

I come. Desperate Lord to be in your presence. And I long to worship you. ..
By The Late *Danny Nettey*(Special Tribute&I'm sure his longing is attained as he's with the Father)
( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fkI_2NaeHo&feature=youtube_gdata_player )

As we bring the MUSIC SERIES to a 'close', the *Music Festival* continue to wax stronger &stronger. 

We continue today with Rev. Ofori Danso @5:30pm@ Trinity Baptist Patasi Depot. It
Come&experience*PURITY IN WORSHIP*

Moving on, I planned on this Music Series sometime last year.Hoping to have had it then but Thank God it came through this year.

Let's recap now:
*I started  with *Talking Music(Its Origin & How it all happened in scripture).* The source can ONLY be from God as it existed before creation_Job 38:4&7
(More on_ http://myinss.blogspot.nl/2016/09/talking-music-how-it-all-started-part-2.html?m=1 )

* Then we moved on to  *Music (The basics).* This is where we touched on what Music really is&other basics.
I defined Music as ' A Creative Pleasurable medium God USES to SPEAK to his 'people' through his 'people' in a unique,rhythmic way.
( More on: http://myinss.blogspot.nl/2016/09/series-basics-1.html?m=1 )

* *Music, How essential* followed suit. Music flows from heaven into the soul, speaks what can't be expressed, ,soothes the mind, heals the heart& makes it whole.( http://myinss.blogspot.nl/2016/09/music-series-music-how-essential.html?m=1)

* For *Q&A on the Music Series*, just follow the link below  to be utterly blessed.
( http://myinss.blogspot.nl/2016/09/on-music-series-part-2.html?m=1)

Essentially, these points are key on Music(Christian):

-There should be a clear Music from God.
-Backed by the Holy Spirit.There is a Spirit to every thing &so is Music. Beware.
-Then it goes on to permanently meet a core need both Spiritual&Physical.

*SO I SAY:THIS ENDS THE MUSIC SERIES. HOPE YOU'VE BEEN BLESSED.*

MUSIC SERIES:BRAND NEW SONG TITLED: 'MY ALL'

It's special right here on the Music Series.
This morning I bring you a song never heard before,yet to be recorded&very original.

Below is a song originally written by *Philip Selorm Logoh* (featuring myself)

It was inspired by an Exhortation given by a Teen Brother
Emmanuel K. Boakye@our Teens Chapel.

I'm sure the Music people Eyako& K.K would like to take it up.

*THE SONG NOW:*
*SOLO 1*
A need without solution
That I will seek you always above all else.

A vessel of dishonour
That I be purified unto honour fit for every good work.

Fill my life now with your longing.
Surround me with your Grace.
For then I know you
And shall forever understand your Love

*CHORUS:*
Teach me Lord to know you true
Shine your light, see me through
Let me know you know me
Let it be you and not me.

*SOLO 2*
Destroy my upheld dignity.
Shatter every pillar of pride.
And show me divinity
Take me for a humble ride

Hold me down on my knees.
Never lift me up to be free.
For *my all* I let go
Take my entire life.

*CHORUS:*
Teach me lord to know you true
Shine your light, see me through
Let me know you know me
Let it be you and not me... *MY ALL*

*SO I SAY: THIS IS THE MUSIC SERIES-MY ALL ( A BRAND NEW SONG)*

*Concluding the Music Series tomorrow*

*Still on...Powerful...Music Festival*
*Today@5.30pm@TrinityBaptistPatasiDepot*

*'Q&A ON THE MUSIC SERIES' (PART 2)*

Shout to the Lord all the Earth let us sing...Power and Majesty Praise to the King... (By *Darlene Zschech*)

( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk5yLJbQCbI&feature=youtube_gdata_player )

We continue with Questions&Answers on the Music Series.

*ARE INSTRUMENTS NEEDED OR ARE WE SUPPOSED TO USE INSTRUMENTS IN CHURCH???*

Some verses in the old testament relating to instruments:
1 Chronicles 15:16 ; 16:42, Nehemiah 12:36 Habakkuk 3:19)

This is mostly seen among the Church of Christ fraternity. Their reasons are to practise what is only in the NEW TESTAMENT of which instrumental music isn't mentioned,which they also say adulterates the music hence not biblical.Details below:
( http://www.christianlibrary.org/authors/Grady_Scott/instrmnt.htm )

Yes, nothing of instruments is directly mentioned in the new testament.
However, my simple answer is a question- Does it mean it is prohibited or unscriptural?

Should we then abandon everything in the old testament? Isn't the old a  foreshadow of the new?

What does making MELODY in Ephesians 5:19 actually mean?
Yes, no doubt We can just sing to praise God. However, I also believe instruments is a great aid in our worship to God.

Whether singing or with instruments, I believe the key factor in music is its source not the above question

*ARE ALL 'SO CALLED GOSPEL' SONGS GOSPEL/CHRISTIAN?*

Straightforward Answer No. They're all over the place  especially now with Jesus in it and all that.  Yes I repeat SO CALLED GOSPEL SONGS.

As said earlier to qualify as a Gospel song, it must have a clear Message from God& the Spirit Backing in order to meet our core Spiritual Need.

Sorry, most of these gospel songs especially now don't meet this. You know what let the Spirit speak to you as you hear them.

*ARE ALL SECULAR MUSIC BAD?*

Hmmm, tough one.My simple answer is this: Generally, NO.
Of course, most of them are not good (especially recent ones) but there are few good ones.

(Personally, I say that if most the current songs had the same moral content as of old at least the world will be a better place)

In all these,does it make it a spiritual song/Gospel as described in Colossians 3:16??

*SHOULD A CHRISTIAN LISTEN TO SECULAR MUSIC?*

Hehehe...these debatable topics ee.Can we then listen to those few good ones?
The mere fact it has moral lessons or some religiousity around it doesn't mean it is Gospel.

Refer to what makes a song gospel above. These few songs though good are still unable to meet our core Spiritual Need timelessly.
Unless seated on biblical principles, the song content fail with time.

I must hasten to add  that God in his own ways may use some of these secular artistes to speak us or to make a needed impact.

A song like Wogbe Jeke(Birth of a Nation) from Amandzeba Nat Brew is a fine National piece. How many times do we see our Gospel ministers do songs on these and other social, moral issues with Christian underlyings.
(I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE THAT& I BELIEVE GOD WANTS *US* TO)

Anyway, so should *we* be listening to more of Amandzeba's songs?...Answer that.

To the main question above, I believe the answer is still a *No(Solely Gospel)* *unless* in such situations as just explained above.

*SO I SAY: THIS IS Q&A ON THE MUSIC SERIES*

*#Hurray...Musical   Festival is finally here*
*#Today@5:30pm@TrinityBaptistPatasi Depot*

TBC MUSIC FESTIVAL 2016

The Music Festival of Trinity Baptist Church, Patasi Depot comes off  Wednesday(28th September) through to sunday.(2nd October)

Details below...More to come

COME AND EXPERIENCE PURITY IN WORSHIP

 

 

'Q&A ON THE MUSIC SERIES'(PART 1)

Agya ee wo so oo,Agya ee wo y3 k3see...
Yesu ee wo so na wo kron. 3nti y3yi w'ay3 daa....
(Father,you are Great&mighty.That's why we praise you)
(DAUGHTERS- My All time FAVOURITE)

Gradually, we are inching towards the end of the Music Series. Therefore, this morning I bring you what I call the (Q)uestions&(A)nswers on the Music Series.

I know for some of you this series wouldn't be complete without tackling these:

*WHY MOST OLD SONGS ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN THE CONTEMPORARY ONES???

I'm not sure this is in doubt.Take note I didn't say ALL. Do I need to research?

Hymns, Psalms as we know are powerful. Powerful here means
-Pleasing/honouring God
-Meeting the  spiritual needs of his people&other aspects. 

This is confirmed in Col. 3:16
'Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly teaching and admonishing one another...singing psalms,hymns &spiritual songs with thankfulness  in your heart to God'.

What is considered Spiritual songs (Gospel) is the chief concern here. I believe the old songs are powerful because of these:
-A  (Direct) Message from God.
-Backed by the HOLY SPIRIT.
-A life of PURITY.

* CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN MUSIC - IS IT HONOURING GOD?

I must say i enjoy some of the contemporary songs very well(Spiritual).

However,  i 'BELIEVE' a lot of them don't honour God hiding under the different genres&modern styles. The above reasons can be easily ascribed here. 

The positive is that it draws a lot of the Youth (including unbelievers). I believe it can be contemporary yet honours God. (Let's check that very well)

*WHAT ABOUT THE LIVES OF MUSICIANS???

Hmmm, this question eee -that life of PURITY/HOLINESS right?

Without a doubt, MOST Musicians(instrumentalists) are noted for ungodly living. Agean, No need for any research  here. Sexual immorality,idolatry,  envy,pride,coveting et al.

How do you expect your song to make the needed impact?
Sadly, some think their songs are really  just by virtue of it being a  hit,money&wealth gained.

Though 'unseen' but the songs of those musicians who live holy lives are seen by the SPIRITUALITY of the song churned out.This is determined by how well you're in tune with the spirit or relationship with God. 

More questions in PART 2 this evening.

 
SO I SAY
THIS IS Q&A ON THE MUSIC SERIES(PART 1)

#MUSIC FESTIVAL IS ONLY TOMORROW oo

# TRINITY BAPTIST PATASI DEPOT @5:30PM

'MEDITATE!!!' (Galatians 1:6-10)

A very Good morning to you all. If you haven't done this, then please do.

THANK GOD YOU ARE ALIVE!!!

MEDITATE comes your way this morning. Another powerful passage that require carefulness& watchfulness from us. Let's look at it:

Galatians 1:6-10
NO OTHER GOSPEL

6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the Grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—

7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the Gospel of Christ.

8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!

9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!

10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

BELOVED, I would implore you have a deep meditation on the above. The Lord has something for us especially in these times we find ourselves.

SO I SAY:
MAY YOUR BE EYES BE OPENED UP EVEN AS YOU MEDITATE!!!

MUSIC SERIES:MUSIC, HOW ESSENTIAL?

 "Ao Yehowa, mi Nyɔŋmɔ"-Oh Lord, my God.

"Onaakpɛ nibii lɛ fa babaoo ha wɔ"-You have multiplied your wondrous deeds towards us (Nii Okai-Trinity-Ga Song)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lO1M0_ou28M&feature=youtube_gdata_player

We're still on the Music Series& so far we've looked at TALKING MUSIC(Its Origin&Source) and then MUSIC, THE BASICS.

This evening i ask- Can we imagine this  life without music?

I can't say Music is everything but definitely it is vital.
If even before creation, Music existed then it should tell you God had a reason for it. It is that ESSENTIAL. (Job 38:4-7)

This evening we simply look at MUSIC, HOW ESSENTIAL?
First, 

 

* INDIVIDUAL& SOCIETY
-Music promote wellness,manage stress, alleviate pain,
express feelings& enhance memory.

- Music has Therapeutic Effect in the Life of human& promote physical rehabilitation.

-Apart from improving communication, Music helps Human to express themselves
with Ease.(Manythings are better&effectively expressed through Music)

- Music draw people together to uplift them emotionally binding them together.

*OUR FAITH
- In our faith, Music is a key medium to speak&hear from God. 

-Principally, it's a way of deepening our intimacy with God.(We receive deep mysteries  with diligence)

-Music encourages, inspires&bring joy to the Christian, it doesn't only entertain but bringing lasting joy boosting our faith.

*CHURCH
 The importance of Music in the church dates back to days of old.
-2 Chron 20:22- 'Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon... who had come against Judah;

- Music aided in defeating the enemy&this is still useful in spiritual warfare today. 

-2 Chron. 5:13-14  Indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters & singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising&thanking the Lord...

As seen, Music was&is still used in ushering ourselves into God’s presence.
It is still useful in ministerial work even today. 

-Miracles, healing&deliverance are all aided through Music. (1 Samuel 16:23)

 

* Eventually, the essence of Music will end up in HEAVEN where we'll worship our God forever&ever. (http://myinss.blogspot.com/2016/09/it-be-boring-rev-4-josh-18.html)

SO I SAY:
THIS IS THE MUSIC SERIES-MUSIC, HOW ESSENTIAL???

#MusicFestival-This Wednesday@ Trinity Baptist Patasi Depot.

MUSIC SERIES-THE BASICS (PART 2)

🎵 I will sing, yes, I will praise, even in my darkest hour...through the sorrow& the pain.I will sing...🎵(Don Moen-I will sing)

We continue the BASICS on the Music Series.

* For those TECHNICAL terms like notes,chord,key,clasical, soprano, staggato, octave,quartert,opera&  the rest I'll leave it to the Music people like  Eyako, K.K& Pkay to explain.😃

* MUSIC GENRES/STYLE
I believe any Genre of music can be used to Glorify God. Unless there is something I've not found yet.
Maybe HIP POP&its roots as said before. I'll Find out more for later.

Primarily, I believe it's a matter of culture& we should be guided by that.(What's  Hardcore Punk Genre to my mum-Nana Afia Achiaa😂...except God comes in oo)

Some other Genres:
Blues, Classicals,Rock, Country, Rap,Pop, Jazz, Praise&Worship, *CONTEMPORARY& TRADITIONAL(More on these two later)
Check for more- http://(www.musicgenreslist.com)

Then we LOOK AT:
*ADORATION(adorare) is an aspect of Worship. It's said to be the highest form of worship.It's an intense admirationculminating in reverence&worship.

Simply, when someone says 'I ADORE you... Apart from its beauty&unconditionality, it magnifies LOVE in its entirety. (It's just TOO MUCH)
THIS IS WHAT WE OFFER GOD

*PRAISE(yadah )is aptly littered throughout scripture.
-Webster defines the word praise as TO SAY GOOD THINGS ABOUT...
-To CALL ATTENTION to his glory .
-Basically, to express a heart of approval, admiration& gratitude.
-Being thankful to him&we forever are.

*WORSHIP (proskuneo) is “to fall down before” or “bow down before.”

Worship is more than a song. We have heard  this through Music. Well and it's more than a Genre. It is a lifestyle. Your entire life is Worship unto God.

And so as we meet, we offer the totality of our lives.(WORSHIP)
Music is not the only way we do this but it is one of the keys mediums to.  

SO I SAY:
THIS IS THE MUSIC SERIES-THE BASICS

#Nextweek-Wed to Sun-MUSIC FESTIVAL(@TrinityBaptistPatasiDepot)

'MUSIC SERIES: THE BASICS'(PART 1)

Y3 som NyameiI a )y3 )nwanwani biribiaa 3nso ne y33.....(We Serve a God f wonders there's nothing too hard for him_Joe Mettle's New Single.

 On the series today, let's start with the fundamental question-What is MUSIC???

If someone bangs a cooking pan, it only makes noise. However if he bangs it in a rhythmic way, it's a simple type of music.(Can Easily BeEnjoyed)

*Therefore Music is an art of sound that expresses ideas & emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody,harmony&color.
* Also it's a musical work or compositions for singing or playing.

Personally, I hold the above Generic definitions  very true. However,this is my simple definition  in the Christian context( which is PARAMOUNT):

"Music is a Creative Pleasurable medium God uses to speak to his 'people' through his 'people'  in a unique,rhythmic way. 

To everything, there is a Spirit behind it& so is Music. Therefore, for any music to qualify  as Gospel or Christian;  it must  first have these 2 BASICS: 

-A MESSAGE FROM GOD &

-BACKED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD.

Now, essentially the message/Gospel/Good News God gives us is to Glorify him& this can be anything of worth or value to humanity.
(Thou it's mostly restricted in the Christian fraternity) e.g A song about Heart disease. 

However, betterstill one distinguishing factor is the SPIRIT OF GOD that backs it.
(More to come here)

It's from this that we later employ the humanly endowed giftings or creations like voice, instruments, sounds to give it the total music feel.

This should tell you that though the dynamics, instrumentation, rhythm are needed but the above is key. (Accapela is an example)

Lastly, This DIFFERENCE:  

A Musician is one who makes their own music-writes or composes their songs, knows how to play an instrument(s) as well as can sing or perform.

 

A singer is restricted as he uses mainly the voice (which is also instrument) to sing or perform the music with or without an instrumentation.
They may be in lacking some aspects like not always writing their songs&not playing an instrument. 

SO I SAY:
THIS IS THE MUSIC SERIES&THIS IS THE BASICS (PART 1)

MUSIC SERIES:TALKING MUSIC(ORIGIN)

The Lord is mighty, in my heart, my Lord Jesus is king, over all the nations. We glorify your name...We magnify your name...we worship you...we worship you

I had to repeat the above song thanks to a correction by Mrs. Atuahene. Thanks Afia.
Continuing the series,  we take you on a quick Music journey.

On this journey, I found out from my research some interesting revelations about the origin of MUSIC. (Take note of the highlighted words)

* The origin of music itself is veryDIFFICULT to determine because in all PROBABILITY, it is likely to have begun with singing,clapping or beating the hands... for which no definite record can be found.
( www.ancient-origins.net/ancient-places-europe/origin-music-00972 )

Music is everywhere. We can't escape it. It's difficult to say when music began...PREHISTORIC DRAWINGS on cave walls depict both ANIMALS and PEOPLE.
( www.quora.com/Where-did-music-come-from-How-and-when-did-it-begin ) 

* Music MAY have been in existence for at least 55,000 years and the first music may have been invented in Africa.
( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_music )

* The oldest musical instrument ever discovered is believed to be flute.With others forms like drum&other percussion instruments.

* In the Greek world,  Music(mousike) covered not only music but also dance, lyrics & performance poetry.

For the ancient Greeks, music was viewed as a gift from the 'gods'.  Specific instruments is attributed to particular deities: Hermes the lyre , Pan the syrinx (panpipes) and Athena the aulos (flute).
(  www.ancient.eu/Greek_Music/ )

THERE ARE MANY SOURCES BUT A LOOK AT THESE SUGGEST WHERE THE WORLD LEADS US TO.
A STATE OF UNCERTAINTY,CONFUSION&WRONG BELIEFS. 

(This also relates to the belief&existence of GOD )

This is why we started right from the source(God&his word) in the first 2 parts of this Music Series.

Therefore as said, the first reference to Music was inGen.28:21.Jubal a descendants of Adam was called 'the father of lyre &pipe.

However, scripture tells us Music existed before Adam.
In Job 38:4 &7 God asked Job, “Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?... “When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?” 

This clearly settles it for us... to know that Music is from GOD &he uses it to channel a lot about the Christian faith to us. 

SO I SAY:
THE WAY IS NOW CLEARED....STAGE SET...WE NOW GET TO WHAT MUSIC REALLY IS.

Below are helpful resources site/books for particularly musicians.

'MEDITATE!!!'(JAMES 4:7-12)

I am thankful for one thing this morning& that is BEING ALIVE THIS MORNING...GLORY BE TO GOD.

We do MEDITATE.I like the message because verse by verse it has a strong message to carry you throughout the day. 

Now the MEDITATIVE MESSAGE:

7 Submit yourselves,  (then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 

8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

9 Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom.

10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

11 Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. 

12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?

SO I SAY:
MEDITATE!!!

TALKING MUSIC (HOW IT ALL STARTED-PART 2)

'The Lord is mighty, in my heart, my Lord Jesus is king, over all the nations. We glorify your name...'

 

Yeah continuing singing... We continue the Music Series right from where we left off yesterday.

From the old testament, one person music can be equated to is DAVID. 

*Main man David is described in 2 Sam. 23:1 as the sweet psalmist of israel.
He is credited with writing most of the songs recorded as psalms in the Bible.

He was the official musician in saul's court since known for
playing harp which drove the evil spirit away.(1sam.16:14-)

During David’s reign, he organized the Levitical musicians.

More so, 1 Chron. 15:16 & 23:5 record that more than 1 in10 Levites in the temple were musicians.

* Other musicians include:
-Asaph(12 Psalms),
sons of Korah(10 Psalms),Heman&Ethan(1 Psalm each)

-Solomon(2 psalms, Ecclestiastes&Songs of Solomon,1005
other songs as affirmed in 1kings 4:32.)

In the New Testament,
* 2 Gospels mention that Jesus&his disciples sang a
hymn in the last supper. (Matt.26:30, Mark 14:26)

* Through Prayer& Music, Paul& Silas got the prison doors shaken & eventually got their freedom. 

*Paul again tells us of an important role of  Music in Col.3:16& Eph.5:19 which aids us in  living a Spirit-led life. 

*Music is used as a period of mourning& celebration(Matt.9:23& luke 15:25, Janes 5:13),Coronations,(1Kings1:39-),events in royal court(Eccl.2:8)

In all, it is important we remind ourselves music originated right from Heaven with our perpetual adversary the devil in-charge

As the 24 elders worships God forever.
this is what we'll do.We'll live in eternal praise,adoration,peace,love& joy.

SO I SAY:
THIS IS THE  MUSIC SERIES-AN ACCOUNT OF HOW IT ALL HAPPENED FROM SOURCE.
(SEE YOU NEXT WEEK FOR MORE)

🎵RUN TO JESUS.(FRANCESCA B INSPIRED)🎵

Errrhmm yes it's a song message as I do occasionally.
Maybe as part of the music series and our musical festival, this is apt.

However, I decided to share not just because of the above reason but
because there is a message in there.

So whatever it is now, how hopeless things seem, how lost &forsaken
you feel...DO ONE THING-'RUN TO JESUS'🏃🏻



🎵THE LYRICS NOW:
Hey, lonely
Hey, sad eyes
Hey, you who needs some sunshine
All you gotta do is open up the blinds

Hey, worry
Hey, heartache
Help is not that far away.
Just open up your eyes
He’ll be there, He’ll be there every time

When you’re all out of heart and out of hope
And you don’t really know which way to go
Come on, come on, RUN TO JESUS

If you’re lost and you don’t know where to start
It don’t really matter where you are
Come on, come on, come on, yeah,
RUN TO JESUS

Do you know that your story starts and ends with mercy
And it’s waiting in His arms
‘Cause He knows what you’re feeling
So don’t you stop believing
He’s got you right where you belong

When you’ve reached the end of every road
And you’re a million miles from home
That’s when you RUN, RUN TO Jesus

When the clouds have covered up the sun
And your strength is all but gone
That’s when you run
That’s when you run
That’s when you run

SO I SAY:
When you’ve reached the end of every road
JUST RUN TO JESUS!🎵

'TALKING MUSIC-HOW IT ALL STARTED-PART 1'

To God be the glory, great things he hath done. So love he the world that he gave us his son.
Who yielded his life& atonement for sins& open the life-gate that all may go on.
Praise the lord...

I'm sure you were singing along_This old sweet-loving spiritual hymn is always refreshing to the soul.

So Talking Music  takes us back to the  very beginning.(There is no other beginning than God-John 1)

This also means I had to do a lot of research to get this.So heyy,be educated,enlightened &enjoy as we talk MUSIC.

These are references to Music in the bible:

*The first reference to a musician was in Gen.28:21.Jubal who was the 4th generation from Adam through Cain was called 'the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe.

* The book of Moses records 3 songs.
-In Exod.15, which was after the victory over pharaoh&his army.
At that time,  Moses' sister,Miriam led the israelites women with tambourines&dancing.

-Then, Deut. 32, a song recounting God's faithfulness before his
death.
-Lastly,a prayer song recorded in Psalm 90.

*In Joshua 6:1-20, the sound of the trumpets  broke the walls of Jericho.

*The songs of Deborah in Judges 5 beautifully captures a heart of Praise as she leads Israel to defeat the Canaanites.

*When Jephthah returned from battle,his daughter met him with timbrels& dance in Judges 11:34.

*Then to the MAIN MAN David (sweet Psalmist of Israel as described in 2 sam.23:1),official musician in Saul's  court, songwriter&...

I would have to end here...a lot in store as we continue tomorrow evening from David through to the new testament. 

Music is scattered all over through ScriptureI'm of a firm belief you'll appreciate MUSIC the more,know its place in your faith& in God's scheme of things. 

 

SO I SAY:
THE MUSIC SERIES JUST GOT STARTED...THIS IS A HALF ACCOUNT OF HOW IT ALL HAPPENED IN THE BIBLE
JOIN ME TOMORROW EVENING FOR PART 2.
