Gospel Music Vs Worldly Music Must Read!
Hi everyone....A friend shared
this so I thought I should present it here. What's your
opinion?
WORLDLY music vs GOSPEL
music
It was Debby's birthday and she was
singing so loud as she took her bath.
Everyone in the neighboring flats could hear her melodious voice, as she
skillfully sang
" I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky, I think about it every
night and day, spread my wings and fly
away..."
Her father Deacon Clement couldn't
wait for her to fly away yet, as he shouted her
down " will you shut up your dirty mouth,
before I break that your wings, that you
want to use and fly away"
"Daddy What have I done again, this morning?" Debby
asked
"Everyone in this compound, knows am
a deacon and you are busy singing all
those
devilish, WORLDLY song, that had no JESUS in it, on
your
birthday
morning".

I was very fortunate to be exposed to music
quite early in life.
Joined the choir at the age of 9
(all thanks to my music Instructor Rev Dan
Okam).
That was the beginning of great things in music.
I
grew to become a better singer, played few
instruments, won competitions,
directed some few
choirs, met a lot of great people and now a Pastor.
All
these helped me, to get to the place I am today.
Little wonder, my choir PFC is
the best around.(PFC

All through these period, I've always
heard a lot of music directors tell their
members to
listen to and sing only GOSPEL songs, as against the
WORLDLY
songs.
While that is the best advice
any music director can give to his choir
members, it
is very important we define what a worldly song is, to
prevent
assumption.
Assumption is the lowest
form of knowledge.
GOSPEL vs
WORLDLY
Gospel means good news.
Luke 4:18
NKJV
[18] " The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me To
preach the gospel
to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To
proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of
sight to the blind, To set at
liberty those who are
oppressed;
Worldliness is the condition of being
concerned with worldly affairs to the
neglect of
spiritual things. Worldliness enthrones the
Devil.
............Now to the Matter.........
A lot of
Christian singers therefore think that a Worldly song is
a song, that
has no Jesus Christ or Jehovah
mentioned in it.
They think they are gospel singers
because they have JESUS fixed up in
every line of
their song.
They sing songs that lack meaning,
message, news( not to talk of good news)
coat it
with the name of Jesus and parade themselves as
gospel artists.
Meanwhile at the other end of the
town.........
A talented church singer, who has a
strong appreciation of singing and music
generally,
sticks to the myopic opinion that his song must be
heard only by
church people.
He sings a song
titled "Jehovah Man of War" and goes
around churches
inviting people for launching.( that
launching thing doesn't work, my opinion o)
Some
think that every song is categorized into either of the
two, Worldly or
Gospel.
What will you call the
national anthem...Worldly or Gospel?
What will you
call birthday song.... Worldly or Gospel?
Nursery
rhythms nko.... Worldly or Gospel?
Radio Jingles...
Worldly or Gospel?
What makes a song worldly?
Is it the Song or the Singer?( debate for another
day)
Is it good for a married man(pastor) to sing
Love song to his wife?.. Will that be
Gospel or
worldly.
What if Whiz Kid sings Oshe o!!! Baba? Will
it be Worldly or Gospel
What if SINACH sings
Dorobucci.. Will it turn to Gospel?
The best of the
Nigerian music industry had their roots from the
church.
The church cannot be the Church, if we are
not relevant.
The Music Industry is one of the
Systems that the Church need to conquer
and we
shy away from it, because of myopic, Religious,
baseless and
unfounded lies.
It's time for Church
Singers to start singing about the Peace of Nigeria,
Hope
For Nigeria, Faith For Nigeria, Love for Nigeria,
Patriotism, Jingles for adverts,
Sing about your
football club. Just make sure it doesn't enthrone the
devil.
We have what it takes, to storm the Nigerian
mainstream music Industry and
take that system
for our God. It belongs to us.
When you solve
problems, you stop being broke.
Sing that song, it
must not be sung in the church, make sure it sends a
good
news to some one. Don't make it WORLDLY
but who said you can't make
it
CONTEMPORARY.
We are the salt of the
World
The Salt will have to leave it's container, into
the pot of soup, before it can
change the taste of
the soup. Get out of your religious cover in and profit
with
what God has given you.
GO
CONTEMPORARY and share the Good-news.
Hope
Religion allows you see the truth in this
matter.
God bless
