One of the fastest ways of writing truth in our hearts is through repetition. Songs have the power of shaping our belief system through repetition. We must be careful about the lyrics of our songs. If they deny the Lordship of Jesus, or deny the finished work of Jesus Christ at Calvary or what God has already done for us in Jesus, then we should reject those songs or reword them.

For example: The song - ‘He gives and takes away’ based on Job 1:21 contradicts God’s good nature (James 1:17) because it assumes God is the one that took things away from Job. The truth Job lost everything because he was already living in fear (Job 3:25)

The song, ‘Lord, prepare me to be a sanctuary’ seems to be seeking for us to be a sanctuary where God lives but this song totally ignores the truth that we are already God’s own sanctuary, the habitation of the Most High God (1 Pet 2:5)

Do not keep asking for what you already have. Do not sing, “I need Thee, oh, I need Thee.” Sing, “I have Thee, oh, I have Thee.” Never waste breath by asking Him to be near you, who is already within you, joined to you in such a union that you and He are described as “one spirit.”

READ: 1 Corinthians 6:17, 1 Pet 2:5

Most religious songs are laden with the cross reality but God calls us to a resurrection life. God did not just killed our old life at Calvary, He raised us up to the new life in Jesus. Now we are seated together with the resurrected Jesus. If your walk with God stopped at Calvary, you will have 'death' mentality but God calls us to 'life and victory' in the resurrection. Have a resurrected mindset today and win
