JESUS OUR TRUE WORSHIP LEADER

BY: ELMOND ISAIAH

It is truly interesting to understand that in a real sense it is not the band or the worship leader who draws men into the presence of God but Jesus who is our true worship leader. Jesus said in John 12: 32 that when He is lifted up from the earth He will draw everyone to Himself; to Himself because He is God all by Himself (John 1:1).
However, I want you to see it this way, no matter your abilities, skills and deep understanding of music, it is utterly useless if it is not centred on Jesus (Hebrew 12:2)
Let us examine Hebrew 2:11-13
So now Jesus and the ones He makes holy have the same Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters. For He said to God, “I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters; I will praise you among your assembled people.” He also said, "I will put my trust in him," that is, "I and the children God (Theos) has given me." (NLT)
Easy-to-read version (ERV).
Hebrew 2:11-13
Jesus, the one who makes people holy, and those who are made holy are from the same family. So he is not ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters. He says, "God, I will tell my brothers and sisters about you. Before all your people I will sing your praises." Ps 22:22
He also says,"I will trust in God." Isa 8:17
And he says, "I am here, and with me are the children God (Theos) has given me." Isa 8:18

Easy English version says:
Jesus makes people completely good and clean inside themselves. Both Jesus and all the people that He makes good and clean have the same father. So, Jesus is not ashamed to call all these people His brothers and sisters.
He says this to God about it: ‘I will speak loudly about you to my brothers and sisters. When all your people meet together, I will sing songs to you. I will say how great you are.’ He also says this: ‘I will believe that God will help me.’ He also says this: ‘Here I am, with the children that God has given me.’
God mentioned in this passage we read  in Greek is theos. Phonetically it's pronounced theh'-os meaning God the father, the first person in the Trinity.
Verse 12 says, Jesus told God that He will proclaim (tell) His (God’s) name to us (His brothers and sisters) and that He will sing God’s praises among us!
NLT says, I will praise you (GOD) among your (GOD’S) assembled people (us).
Friend, have you ever imagined Jesus singing to God even though He is God all by Himself? Or have you ever imagined God the father Himself singing to you mortal man? Oh yeah… God the creator Himself actually sings to you even with a joyful heart. See Zephaniah 3:17
For the LORD your God is living among you. He is a mighty saviour. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs. Zephaniah 3:17 (NLT)
LORD in this passage is in uppercase, transliterated from Hebrew as yehôvâh. Phonetically pronounced yeh-ho-vaw'. It is a special name for GOD and it means  Jehovah = " the existing One". It means that GOD is always GOD. The GOD who is always GOD over everything will rejoice over you with singing. This is amazing! You easily experience this dimension of God when your ways please Him as He will be happy with you.
The passage said For the LORD your GOD ('ĕlôhı̂ym = el-o-heem'). God here in Hebrew is Elohim, indicating the plurality of GOD but still one being. This kind of unity in plurality in Hebrew is called Echad. It means both GOD the father, GOD the son and GOD the Holy  Spirit will rejoice over you "with singing". Interesting.
Beloved, God does not just sing, He plays musical instruments too! The harps (kith-ar'-ah)  that the overcomers in Revelation 15:2-4 used to worship God (theh'-os)  with is God’s own. God here is referring to GOD the father. God the father manufacture the harps and gave it to the overcomers to worship Him. God owns all things.
Amplified version of the Bible refers to the kind of song Jesus praised God with in Hebrew 2:12 as Hymn. And I believe it is because hymns are kinds of songs written or sang out of a personal experience and revelation of who God is. Jesus understands and knows God the father deeper and better than any creation. He has a personal revelation and experience of GOD the father, hence the singing of hymn. Hymns are sacred songs not necessarily carried or carved out of scriptures but are scriptural.
I feel that since Jesus sang and is still singing to the Father and to us, it then means that He has other varieties of songs to sing apart from hymns.
Revelation 15:3-4 confirms it by saying: They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb: "Great and wonderful are the things you do, Lord God All-Powerful. Right and true are your ways, Ruler of the nations. All people will fear you, O Lord. All people will praise your name. Only you are holy. All people will come and worship before you, because it is clear that you do what is right."
It was all those who had won the victory over the beast and his idol and over the number corresponding to his name, and were standing by the sea of glass mixed with fire, with harps that God Himself had given them on their hands that sang that song.
Jesus is that Lamb of God and He is the author and custodian of sound and true music. He is our true worship leader and only He can engage us with God in the power of the Holy Spirit to worship.
Jesus never sings a discouraging songs as we all see from those scriptures above. The song sang in Rev 15:3-4 that we read are He’s and Moses’.

“As a musician, if we are not drawing people’s attention to Jesus, then we worship in vain. You can arm yourself with every music technique which may help but it becomes automatically pointless and powerless without God working in the mind the people.” So, as a worship leader, a singer or a musician, pray for your people, pray for God’s spirit to warm their heart to the gospel. Everything should be to the glory of GOD. Even Jesus who is GOD Himself will not do anything unless God is glorified in it. John 14:13. In fact, He said in a phrase in Hebrew 12:13 that “Even I live by placing my trust in GOD. ”Amazing!!! Even Jesus live by placing His trust in God… Even though He is God all by Himself! What about you? Do you live by placing your trust in God? Proverbs 3:5
We must keep learning from the life of Jesus. He is the ultimate in every good thing!
“Indeed God is the only audience, let everything be a worshipper!”

SOAKING

THE MYSTERY OF SOUND (TMS)  SOAKING Habakkuk 2:20 "But oh! God is in his holy Temple! Quiet everyone—a Holy silence. Listen!" Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Soaking! Although the word soaking is not really a scriptural metaphor, it is a term we use to describe a moment of rest, waiting in stillness for the Holy Spirit to fill us again with the Father's love. It can be after prayers, worship session etc. Or you just wait in silence for Him. The key to the “secret place” is “soaking!” Soaking is when you rest in God's presence doing nothing but listening and listening to Him alone. "Soaking" is another term for "active rest". (Listening to Him is the active part while doing nothing is the resting part). That was exactly what happened between Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42). With all the effort of Martha to give a nice and befitting treatment t

GRACEFUL BEAUTY IS ROYALTY I am really excited for this moment and I want to appreciate God, and my father, Mr. Elmond Isaiah for the opportunity and rare privilege to teach on this exalted platform. I want to start by the popular saying; "how you dress is how you will be addressed." It really does not matter the amount you used to purchase a dress but the way you present yourself in the dress. Your dressing complements your beauty My beloved sisters our dressing and beauty only come to light when we also have good character. See the story of Esther and Vashti. Queen Vashti's beauty was something to behold even to the point that her husband wanted to show her off for other Kings to see. But her character made her to be replaced by Esther despite growing up as an orphan. We must build a good character.

SEVEN HEBREW WORDS FOR WORSHIP

           THE MYSTERY OF SOUND (TMS) Topic: Seven Hebrew Words for "Praise and Worship." Instructor: Pastor Gilbert Edoreh INTRODUCTION The Hebrew language is quite an interesting one. Not just interesting, but deep. Having a little insight into such words (seven Hebrew words for Praise and Worship), convey a deeper essence of the things we have been seeing in the Bible. We trust God for deep insight as we examine them. Amen. SEVEN HEBREW WORDS FOR WORSHIP BARAK The first word we'll be considering is the Hebrew word - Barak. Barak (baw-rak') Some people spell it as Barauch. The word "Barak" means to bless God (as an act of adoration). It means to kneel before God our maker in worship. We can check these scriptures: Psalm 95:6 and 2Chronicles 6:13. Psalm 95:6 O come, let us worship and bow down let us kneel before' the LORD our Maker. 2 Chronicles 6:13 For Solomon had made a brasen scaffold of five cubits long, and five cubits

THE MYSTERY OF SOUND (TMS)  MUSICALLY (MUSIC-ALLY) The word musically is an adverb indicating the modification of the existence of the state or condition of music now from where it was and where it always desire to be. Music is a living thing, she consistently speak to us and desire that we know and understand   every single word she says and be a channel or a medium through she can reach all people to bless them and relief them from the various struggles and stresses of this life. Musically is a word that is derived from another word called music. Even though the word musically is made up of four syllables, it is a combination of three words merged together:  Mu-Sic-Ally. Syllabically it will be mu/si/cal/ly. Musically = Music – ally, which means to be an ally to music. Music is considered the mother of all science, inventions and innovation. Music = mu – sic.

UNDERSTANDING MUSIC (WHAT IS MUSIC?)

THE MYSTERY OF SOUND (TMS) 9th April, 2017 SEMINAR MATERIAL 1 THEME : UNDERSTANDING MUSIC TOPIC : WHAT IS MUSIC? INSTRUCTOR : ELMOND ISAIAH INTRODUCTION Music is one of the must interesting and best present or gift given to us by our loving father and it feels so good to take a proper study as to understanding what it’s all about. Although the study of MUSIC can never be fully comprehended by any creation, even angels but by God alone who cannot be comprehended by anyone or anything. God, the Living God is the true author of music. He is music personified. So, when we study and understand what music is, it aid our worship to God and help us connect easily to Him. The Bible said in Psalms 8:1&9 that even the name of the Lord our God is excellent not to even talk about His personality and the things He does. The name of God differ from His personality. Psalms 138:2 said that God honor, magnify, and exalt His word above His name because His word is Him, while

TMS Prayers Academic Success Daniel 1:1-21 Lord Jesus, I thank you and I praise you for this day. Thank you for loving me with an everlasting love. Thank you for always taking good care of me. You are just forever the best. Now, LORD, I read in the book of Daniel chapter 1 where Prophet Daniel and the three Hebrew boys were in school in Babylon and You gave them favor with the dean of the school, the prince of the Eunuchs. (Dan. 1:9). Holy Spirit my comforter and greatest teacher, I ask that you give me favor also with every teacher. Thank You for the favor ready given; I have it now. In Jesus name. Lord Jesus, I also read, that when their three years of training were over, the three Hebrew boys were found to be ten times better and smarter than the rest (verse 18-20). Lord, I Am born again and I have Your life at work in me. I have eternal life already (1John 5:13). Holy Spirit, John 1:4 says, 'In Him (Jesus) was life; and the life was the light of men.'

Graceful Beauty- How to be Gracefully Beautified

HOW TO BE GRACEFULLY BEAUTIFIED If you have the power to change something about yourself and your body what will that be? I want to start by thanking papa Elmond Isaiah for such a rare privilege given to me to teach in this blessed platform of TMS. Before we discuss beauty, how to style yourself, how to be gracefully beautified, the first thing we need to address is do we truly know we are beautiful? Because, you can only give value to something you think is valuable. So I'll start by telling you tonight that the answer to the question I asked should be “nothing!” You should not need to change anything about you. There's room for improvement, of course but having nothing to change means accepting yourself wholly and caring for yourself out of love and not out of fear. Some ladies go to the gym because they're scared of getting fat.   They think fat makes them look ugly. That's not so true. When you go to gym, let it be because you believe you're
