“And they ministered
before the dwelling place of the tabernacle of the congregation with singing,
until Solomon had built the house of the Lord in Jerusalem: and they waited on
their office according to their order” 1 Chronicles 6:32
The Levites and Singers were designed by God to
perform a very significant role in worship with such a deep reverence and
responsibility towards God and man.
God ordained the Levites and Singers to a place of
Authority and Responsibility in his agenda through the instrumentality of an
Office by which they function from.
Through the scriptures, the major reformation
carried out for the worship of God was done with the restoration of the Levites
and Singers back to their place of authority which is their Office.
The Office of the Levites and Singers has the power
to bless. The Office comes with its blessings and anointing.
The operation of the Levites and Singers from their
Offices is as important as the services that are received through them. So sad
to see how that office has been gradually scrapped out or in some places not
considered to be important in worship services, mostly due to selfish reasons
or due to ignorance of what God says about it.
Whatever will become of music and worship in the
Church must begin with the recognition of the place of the Office of the
Levites and Singers (musicians) in the program of God because the Bible clearly
shows us that God himself ordained it. (1Cor. 9:14)
