Last month, I attended a program that was tagged Tongues and Worship. It was a meeting that was filled with several revelations about songs. I am not musically inclined, but I held on to some things that was shared.
A particular statement made by one of the preachers that music doesn't need my permission before it enters into my soul, has stayed with me till this moment. I have made some decisions as a result of the statement.
I have always loved to preach to people when I enter a taxi, but I have always had constraints which ranged from my inability to preach fluently in Yoruba to fears. However, since Tongues and Worship, I started doing something.
When I enter a Taxi, I would start singing a bit aloud with my heart focused on making the songs enter the other people in the car. So far, it has been awesome with supernatural things happening in the cars.
The atmosphere of the taxi becomes exactly as if I am preaching in words and everyone keeps quiet. Even the driver that was playing a Fuji song had to lower the tape so that he could hear my song.
A particular one that resonated strongly in my heart was when I was about to drop from the taxi but I wanted the atmosphere of the taxi to remain the same, so I passed the 'current' to anyone who can pick the signal to continue singing. Suddenly, a lady that has kept mute all the while began to sing too.
When I hear Christians say that we can listen to any kind of songs, I marvel at such. I pray that we will all come to the point where we approve of things that are excellent. Songs are not natural, they flow out of a realm that is beyond the perception of the 5 senses.
Guard your heart from songs that do not feed the seed of Christ and make use of songs to feed others with Christ.
