Recreating the 2 Chronicles 5:13 experience in your praise team and choir.

It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord; (2 Chronicles 5:13)

The second Chronicle experience has appeared to many as a fairy tale. How possible is it that a worship meeting can produce such a spectacle? Is it possible for the musicians and singers to sing as one? If it’s possible what does it mean?

What took place during that service is a demonstration of the manifest presence and glory of God. It showed a group of people that had a deeper understanding of how to touch the heavens with their worship.  Music and worship in our churches can be better if music ministers realize that the experience they church in 2 chronicles had during their time can be replicated.

 There are 3 possible factors that brought about such an experience;

1. Musical harmony- Singing and playing harmonically automatically produce pleasantness. Bad music (singing and playing wrong chords and scales) never appeals to anyone. I believe the levites and singers spent time to learn and know what they are supposed to do musically to sound “as one”.

2. Spiritual Harmony- Worship has always has a sacredness attached to it. The life of the worshiper has to go in line to with the word of God to have a response from heaven. When Spirituality is removed from worship it just becomes another musical adventure that leaves people excited and celebrating nothingness.

3. Inter-relational harmony- People love singing and playing with individuals they are comfortable with. The effectiveness of our worship is very dependent on our relationship to one another. (how much we love and forgive each other). Love and kindness towards one another sets people free and helps in the expression of our hearts to God. I bet the levites and singers were a family that loved each other.

We need to get our priorities right.

The healing, miracles and answers that most individuals seek today could be realized during worship if the music ministers learn how to yield their members unto God is one accord

How do you get the heavens to open in your life and ministry?
