SINGING AND MAKING MELODY TO THE LORD
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with
the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord
(Ephesians 5:18-19).
Singing and making melody in your heart to
the Lord is one of the ways to continually
stay filled with the Spirit. Oftentimes, the Holy Spirit
drops a song in your heart; you could wake up with
a particular tune or melody in your spirit. Whenever
that happens, don’t suppress it; get in the flow of the
Spirit and minister unto the Lord.
There’s so much power in music, especially
when rendered unto the Lord. It’s one of the spiritual
weapons with which we prevail in the fight of faith:
read the example of Paul and Silas in Acts 16:25-26.
When you face challenges, sing unto the Lord! Sing
until faith is stirred in your spirit. Sing with the spirit,
and sing with the understanding also (1 Corinthians
14:15).
Then, just like the prophet Ezekiel prophesied,
the Spirit will stir you up, and set you upon your feet
(Ezekiel 2:2). He’ll stir up words in you like, “Greater
is He that’s in me, than he that’s in the world.” Before
long, you’re “lost” in the Holy Ghost, worshipping and
singing in tongues.
You can stir up faith from within even now, by
singing the right spiritual songs, and the business that
was said to be dead will revive. The finances that were
down will suddenly receive a supernatural boost!
All these and more can happen by the power of the
Holy Spirit, if you’d act on the Word; if you’d sing and
make melody in your heart to the Lord as the Word
instructs.
Prayer
I’ll bless you Lord, at all times, and your praise shall
continually be in my mouth! I’ll shout your fame
and sing of your glory, your great love and power,
manifested in my life and around the world! Thank
you for granting me power over crises, and the grace
to prevail always over circumstances, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.
