Worship is the most important part any meeting with God. Anyone who is not baptized in the Holy Ghost should not be in the choir. A good voice is not the qualification to be a worship leader. There is a difference between a talented singer and an anointed one – which are you?

Worshipers are supposed to glorify God and it takes the Holy Spirit to do this. In John 16:13-14, Jesus Christ said it is the Holy Spirit who would glorify Him. John 4:23-24 tells us that God is a Spirit and those who worship Him are to worship Him in Spirit and in truth.

While the presence of God is felt when some singers get on the stage and miracles happens, others do so without the same results because they have not connected with the Holy Spirit. Our Spirit are lifted when singing hymns and choruses – not because they were written by angels but by people who were filled with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit breathed on them and they wrote what He inspired them to write. The Spirit never dies, that is why hymns are evergreen. When next you are writing a song, remember that the letter kills but the Spirit makes alive (2nd Corinthians 3:6).

If you are a chorister, seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit if you are a Pastor, make sure that everyone who climbs on the altar to lead worship is baptized in the Holy Spirit. Let there be no instrumentalist who is not baptized by the Holy Spirit. Worship is like food to God: let us be very careful with the kind of food we bring to His table. If there are no instrumentalist, we have a ten-stringed instrument provided by God – our hands. God made voices and hands before musical instruments. If that is the only pure thing you have to offer Him, He is fine with it.

“O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto the God with the voice of triumph.”
Psalm 47:1
