Immediately I finished a sunday school class,a sister came to me and
ask me few question.Out of those one asked was:Is it Good for Christians
to listen to worldly Hip Hop musics? I pursed a little bit to ask her
few but reasonable questions which goes thus:Assuming you preached to me
to accept christ and after that I made up my mind to follow Him but in a
short while I beckoned on you to give
me your phone to send some xtians transforming songs that will stabilize
my faith but to my utmost regret,I found worldly Hip Hop Musics which
is on my phone as well.How would you feel? She said not fine.
I used
the above question cuz I had a likewise experience despite being born
again and that's why I've a full knowledge of what am about to discuss.
Sincerely, it has always been a thug of war explaining this integral
aspect of christianity to people.Explaining the concept of the type of
song worthy of christians to listen to has been termed as being too
spiritual.Many claimed that,listening to it is just to be social and
catch fun but for a better understanding,I'll like us go from here and
search the scripture so that we will not live in the darkness of this
simple but controversial issue.
This man called David was of the
knowledge of what God deserves.When he's busy,he makes God to feel the
aroma of his praises and this may be one of those vital reasons while
God has made him a special candidate in his school of music.He wrote
many of the chapters of the book of psalm you and I read
today.However,if David'd approached God with meaningless and worldly
musics,do you think we will have his "psalms" recorded? We have an
endless list of them in the bible.This same song was the device God used
to delivered the Isrealites instead of fighting,He told them to be
singing.Somehow ridiculous but that's the power of music I'm talking
about.
There're xian musics you listen to and you cannot but shed
tears because it's touching,some give hope and thanks to God.How can you
then compare this with a song that's directly connected to God and that
adds no unit(s) to your spiritual growth or moral standing.It's in our
days that somebody will sing aloud that "he is mad" or "he's drunk with
madness" and this becomes the song in the mouth of believers.what
example are we showing the world? No wonder the bible says "my name is
blasphemed among the Gentiles through you"
This same sense of
ungodly habit is gradually entering the church of God when you'll find
it difficult to distinguish a worship place from a party.Where sisters
and brothers became drunk with devil's spirit filled songs matching it
with a dancing styles they thought is taking its course as the latest in
town.A.w Tozer once asked "Isn't there a difference between worship and
entertainment? He then conclude that ".....and men who can't lead a
church to worship must provide the entertainment"
May be we take
God for a fool who will accept anything from us.Have you forgotten cain
and Abel? Even the angels are singing HOLY,HOLY,HOLY unto him every
seconds.why not you?
Brethren,you get to master the choice of your
songs and desires cuz through a wrong choice many have landed dmslves
into the hell fire.
Bro.PAUL says "All things are lawful unto me,but
all are not expedient,all things are lawful for me,but I'll not be
brought under the power of many-1corin 6:12"
God Bless
