WORD-BASED SONGS BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? (1 Corinthians 3:16).
Have you ever heard some Christians sing, βHoly Spirit, come down; rain down on us.β Such a song is inconsistent with truth, because the Holy Spirit already came on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-3) and lives in you today. Itβs also no use singing, βCome live in me Holy Spirit.β Itβs clear from our opening scripture that He dwells in you: βKnow ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?β (1 Corinthians 3:16).
Some even get emotional and cry, singing, βFill me, O Lord!β But the Word never said God is going to fill you. Paul, by the Spirit, said in Ephesians 5:18, βAnd be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit.β Itβs your responsibility to be filled with the Spirit. He told you to do it. Therefore, no matter how much you sing and cry to the Lord to fill you, youβll never be filled, because the Word already shows how to get yourself filled with the Spirit.
Singing the wrong songs creates unbelief and deepens ignorance. Therefore, when you sing, listen to the words; sing songs that are founded on the truth of Godβs Word in the Gospel of Christ. Our worship, praise and thanksgiving or even songs of edification must be correctly delivered in words consistent with the New Testament of Christ. Itβs not about singing your favourite song or the one that gives you goose bumps; itβs about singing scriptural songs of the present truth.
CONFESSION
Blessed Lord, youβre gracious and kind; therefore, your praise shall continually be in my mouth. Your greatness is unsearchable and your lovingkindness is ever sure. Thank you for your Word thatβs in my heart strong, prevailing and producing in me what it talks about. Iβm walking in increased grace, my faith is growing, and your glory is revealed in and through me as I worship you even now, in Jesusβ Name. Amen.
