“Sing Spiritual Songs”
Thursday, October 3, 2024Key Verse
“Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord” (Ephesians 5:19).
Text — Ephesians 5:15-21
Message
Spiritual songs minister to the total man. Melodious songs with inspiring lyrics edify the spirit, uplift the soul and bring health to the body. Edifying songs spring from a grateful trusting heart because there is always something to be thankful for. The modern day hip-hop, pop and high life music that are mainly sensational, noisy and most times erotic, do not edify saints. They are harmful to the spiritual welfare of heaven bound believers. Ungodly songs turn the heart away from holiness, righteousness and purity. Believers must shun such unprofitable songs.
Songs work wonders. Battles have been won, chains and fetters broken, spectacular miracles wrought. Singing takes a lot of stress out of our lives and relaxes our nerves. Believers are supposed to obey this injunction and enjoy the blessings in songs. Gospel hymns and songs are not meant for church service alone. Spiritual songs are meant for our growth and edification and can be sung any where. Are you a singing Christian?
