Radio #6 Sing Unto God A New Song

Sing Unto God A New Song

 

There is a plethora of new music that has been introduced to the earth. Digital music sales were estimated to around US$2 billion in 2006. In 2006 there were four million tracks available. The earth has joined creation in an everlasting song. Every creature senses the message about the song of the Lord in Rev 4 and 5. But what song will you be singing. According to Revelation chapter 4 and 5 all of creation sings an endless song. All the earth is here summoned to worship the Lord.

O that, with yonder sacred throng, we at His feet may fall,
Join in the everlasting song, and crown Him Lord of all,
Join in the everlasting song, and crown Him Lord of all!

Lets look at the cast of singers in Rev 4 and 5:

  1. angels, beasts and the elders

  2. every creature in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them

  3. four and twenty elders

Is humanity the creation that does not understand the Song of the Lord.

  • To represent (the song of the Lord) God on earth

  • Provide for the music family through Music Ministry financial discipline, Serve the least of them in the music industry and ministry.

Every creature got the message about the song of the Lord in Rev 4 and 5, but what will are you singing. Perhaps, our generation will be noted for its songs about this generation. But what will you be singing. I encourage you to Sing Unto God a new Song
