MEMORISE: Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. – Colossians 3:16
BIBLE READING: Ephesians 5:19-2O
19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
MESSAGE:
For some years now, I have been composing the hymns for our Holy Ghost Services and other special programmes. When you listen to them, you will observe that the lyrics are directly from God and my experiences with Him. Contrary to the belief of some teenagers that hymns are boring, they are not. Hymns have the power to take you into the presence of the Most High. One of the major challenges faced every year while selecting hymns for the devotional is the consideration that the teenagers reading it may not know the tune of the hymns. However, through the leading of the Holy Spirit, we keep putting the hymns so you can learn them and use them in your quiet time as well.
When I studied the history of some of the composers of hymns in centuries past, I realised that only God could have carried them through some of the experiences they faced that led to them composing the hymns. No wonder hymns are loaded with words of wisdom and divine inspiration.
My dear child, if you have not been singing the hymn for each day’s devotional, you are missing out on the wisdom and inspiration from God that is present in hymns
ACTION POINT:
Make sure you always sing the hymn for each day’s devotional.
