A SPIRITUAL MUSIC

The term spiritual music is derived from SPIRITUAL SONG. Why spiritual songs and not any other song? The King James Bible translation of Ephesians 5:19 says

'Speaking to yourself in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.

I have grown to understand and come out with the fact that, The only thing you hear, be it poems, recitals, stories, articles, songs, and so on and so forth, that enters straight into the soul of a person upon hearing is a song or music. If you have not realized this epitome, just try it now as you read this pungent epoch-making presentation of this Article. The soul is made up of the Will, Intellects, and Emotions. Any music you listen to, has its background ranging from the beat to the melody to the rhythms and the lyrics itself.

I will entreat all and sundry to listen to spiritual song and to be precise GOSPEL or CHRISTIAN songs. In the year 2012 I used to teach a young guy of about 4 years old, who was in kindergarten. I had taught this guy how to recite the alphabets for about two weeks but he still felt reluctant to be more familiar with the alphabets. During the 3rd week of our lessons, a song came out of the blue moon titled ‘ALUGUITUGUI GUI’ sung by Keche. To my expectancy, I realized this guy singing the song without any difficulty, I sat down and began to wonder, hmmm ..... What music can erupt to.....?

Readers I want you to understand that the success of your day is dependent on the type of song you engage yourself with. If the day will be good, encouraging, peaceful, blessed, divine.....or unfavorable, negative, sad, regrettable depends on the type of music you listen to.

The enemy (Lucifer) is winning so many people through music and we have turned a deaf ear to it. He had the sweetest melodious voice when he was in heaven and trust me, God did not take his gifting when he was casted down.

In the book of Romans 11:29, the bible says" For the gifting and callings of God are without repentance." God does not take His gift when He bestows it upon a man.

One of the instruments or tools the enemy is using so much in this dispensation and era is SONGs, I will entreat all to watch out and be sensitive, The bible says in 2 corinthians 2 :11

“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices."

The author Kwame N. Ntim in his book titled "Mysteries of Music" emphasized more on these things.

To conclude I will urge all to watch out, be sensitive and vigilante to the type of music we listen to. They are essential to the spiritual and emotional stability and security of our lives.
