Proclaim
the Worship of the Lord
Jeremiah 7:2, “Stand in
the gate of the LORD'S house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the
word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the
LORD. God told Jeremiah to stand at the
gate before the Temple which was His
house of worship and remind everyone who came through the gate that they the
reason they were entering was to hear the word of the LORD worship the
self-existent, independent eternal God.
Ministers of music may not stand at the front door of the sanctuary as
people enter, but they do try to cause the people who enter to worship God by
musicing unto Him. Much like the prophet
Jeremiah worship leaders stand before the people and proclaim the word of the
LORD through their leading by example.
Ministers of music have
a great responsibility to show the joy of the Lord on their faces because God’s
Word declares that it is their “strength”.
When a worship leader stands before a congregation, he or she does not
have the option to look sad or beat up emotionally. God has chosen His chief musicians to cause
the people to have a better understanding of who He is and what he does for his
people. This mission is accomplished
through efficacious musical leadership.
So, every worship leader should begin worship service preparation by
tuning his or heart so that he or she will be prepared to proclaim the worship
of the LORD.
