Call UsWhat Songs Do We Sing? – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional October 25th
(Singing According To Our Dispensation)
TO THE BIBLE: Colossians 1:25 KJV
“Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God.”
LET’S TALK
As I studied the Bible, I realised that God never leaves us in the dark about anything. For example, the songs we sing; they’re supposed to be according to dispensations, but many don’t realise it.
Our praise of God has to align with our dispensation—where we are in God’s calendar—His prophetic timing, and where we stand with God. When you don’t understand this, you may think that every song is acceptable, but that’s not true.
The Apostle John, while exiled on the island of Patmos, expounded on three distinct groups through the revelation of the Spirit. The first group is found in Revelation 5:8-9.
These are the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders. The apostles are part of the twenty-four elders, and they represent the Church. Read the lyrics of their song in Revelation 5:9.
Then, we have the second group in Revelation 14:1-3. These are the 144,000 (about 12 thousand from each of the 12 tribes of Israel).
The Bible says, “…They sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth” (Revelation 14:3 NIV).
They sang the song, but nobody could grasp or understand what they were singing. Why? Because the song didn’t belong to the dispensation of the four “beasts” and twenty-four elders.
Lastly, the third group—the tribulation saints—who gained victory over the beast. This is found in Revelation 15.
However, these tribulation saints, divided into two groups (the Jews and those who became Christians after the Rapture), sang two songs. They sang the song of Moses, and they sang the song of the Lamb (Revelation 15:3-4).
This immediately prompts an understanding that our singing must align with revelation and our dispensation. We must sing songs that truly praise and worship God, songs that are consistent with who we are in Christ, our dominion, and heritage in Him (Revelation 1:6; 5:10). Hallelujah!
