TRANSCRIPT
AUGUST 2013
Dearly beloved in Christ,
Ephesians 5:18 says “Be filled with
the Spirit”. This verse ends with a comma.
The next verse describes the very first
result of being under the Spirit's control:
We sing. We make melody with our
hearts. We communicate His presence
within us by presenting our own,
individual concert of Sacred Music.
We don't see the reference of
church in Eph. 5. We are often tempted to
centralize our singing that we seldom
engage in it once we walk away from a
service. Did you sing on the way home
after the Sunday service? How about
Monday when you drove to work - or
around the supper table?
The spirit filled saint is a song filled
saint. Animals can't sing. Neither pews or
pulpits or Bibles or buildings – only you
can. And your melody is broadcasted right
into heaven, where God's antenna is
always receptive. Your songs are always
appreciated.
Martin Luther, the warrior of faith
had two basic objectives when he fired the threformation during the 16 century. First,
to give the people a Bible they could read
on their own, and second, to give them a
hymnal from which they could sing on
their own. Now we have the Bible and we
read it – but where has the melody gone?
We simply do not sing as often as we
ought.
Whenever and whatever you sing
concentrate on the lyrics. Add one or two
songs to your day. Add this to your driving
schedule or soap and shower time. Sing
with your friend or members of your
family. It will help you to break down all
sorts of invisible barriers. Put on some
beautiful music through your music
system and watch what happens to the
atmosphere. You can sing along with that
even as you continue with your daily
things.
Never mind how beautiful or pitiful
you may sound. You are not auditioning
for the choir; you are making a melody
with your heart. So sing out.
Sing loud enough to drown out
those defeating thoughts that clamor for
attention.
We are done with the Book of
Romans in our Edavaka Mission Bible
Study. This month I would like to start
with the leadership traits of Nehemiah.
Please come and join the study program.
We have completed the Book of
Galatians in Sevika Sanghom. As we are
starting a new book, I request more
participation in the Sevika Sanghom
gatherings.
I request all of you to participate
whole heartedly in the offertory collection
for the relief work organized by our church
for the people affected by heavy rain and
other natural calamities which happened
recently in our state as also in other
Northern States. Please uphold this
people in your prayers.
God blessYoursJohn Joseph achen
