Worship the Lord in Spirit, Thoughts on RevAkua exposition on Teni for your Case Song

 God is Holy, and the only consumer of our worship or service is God. Not us.

The purpose of worship is for God, God Alone.

So the music and other tools are supposed to be holy that is theologically sound.

I don’t have a problem with Christians singing love songs, no there’s nothing wrong with love songs. God is love there are books in the Bible dedicated for love but I didn’t say “lust” songs.
In our modern world we Christians should be careful with songs we call love songs.



Back to the narrative.

RevAkua got it wrong. You can’t do an exposition on a worldly song. Are you done expositing the Bible? Or even the Hymns, or Hillsong or Elevation worship or worst of all, Bethel music? Maybe firstlove’s Aida.

The song, for your case” has cursing in it and the one true God who is the consumer of our service or worship will not like it since he has commanded believers not to use curse language.

The problem is not charismatics or one-man churches. The problem is that the church in Ghana cannot separate herself from the world. She thinks in other for her to be relevant she needs to copy the world. But you only become relevant when you do the opposite of what the world does. The church is the bride of Christ.

The issue is that most of these orthodox churches are trying their best not to lose the youth by doing the worst they can. They have refused to pass the teachings down to the next generation but they take joy in doing funny funny things in our attempt to be “cooler”. The other time it was Rep your jersey, yesterday it was showing the UCL final in the chapel, few hours ago we are doing an exposition on a song by teni.

Bible says in John 4:23-24 that we should worship the Lord in spirit and in truth. Are we doing it?

Now let me ask are we doing it for God or we are doing it for ourselves in the name of God?
Grace to you.
