Yesterday I told you that musical instruments recorded in the Bible were one of the earliest things in the Bible documented. Then I gave you Genesis 4:21. I personally feel that in order to know how to be a minister of music, I must have a great knowledge, of the Word of God, concerning music. I have often notice that most Christian who are ministers of music; do not know the importance of what God has called them forth to do, if they did, they would see the importance of their craft and would pursue their ministry for the Lord with passion.
As I mention yesterday the earliest kinds of musical instruments were the tabret, which is a string instrument (which was the beginning of the harp), the cymbal and the pipe. From these instruments, later inspirational work of art began in the creation of the type of instruments that we enjoy listening today.
Some of these instruments were made of wood for example II Samuel 6:5 King James Version
4. And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.
5. And David and all the house of Israel played before the Lord on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.
However, Uzzah death, cause by the Lord, stopped the merry making around the ark and cause the worship in church, to be cut short because they were not handling the ministry of the Ark properly. Uzzah had place his hand on the ark and the Ark was being transported in a wagon. Therefore, God took Uzzah up out of here and there laid Uzzah dead by the Ark of the Covenant.
What does this show us?
It shows us that a person had better learn proper ways in which to worship when it comes to God. Therefore, a wise minister of music and one who loves the Lord will make it a point to study the Word of God, in the way he or she should worship God.
Why should we take the time to Study the Word of God?
So there will not be a death-feeling atmosphere during the worship service. Now that is an Encouraging Word! Selah, “Think About That!”
