*"MAN-MADE GODS"*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil"* (Isaiah 1:15-16 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
At a point in my life, I decided to take drumming more seriously, having played it for some years without any professional training. My first instructor, a church guy, told me (and another student) to ensure to not play for free in church. I couldn't relate with that counsel because I had no such ambition of playing for the highest bidder.
Later on, I met another professional drummer who was so popular because he was playing in a mega church in Lagos. I decided to enrol for his training and he graciously gave me his contact. One Sunday morning, I decided to meet him in his local church after our own meeting. To my surprise, he wasn't participating in the meetings at all. He steps out and comes in only when it's time to play. He repeated this during the second service as well. I didn't like it.
Over the years, if there's any category of people in church who are permitted to be very unserious, non committed, and frivolous where discipleship is concerned, it is the instrumentalists. Every other person goes through foundation class, workers training, etc, but the only requirement for the instrumentalists is 'being tight'. After all, the keyboardist or pianist is the one that brings down the 'presence of God' with his wicked strings and chords. He is the almighty without which the service will never be mighty.
Folks, these are the man-made gods in the midst today - created by a faulty system. Everything revolves around these guys - they are the sun, the moon, and the stars. They lead double lives comfortably and some of them are not even born again at all. It's always a pitiable sight to see a Pastor crying or pleading with them to not leave him because he cannot afford their demands for a raise in salary. Indeed, they must not leave him nor forsake him because the glory will depart immediately.
_MEDITATION:_
*"Take away music from certain gatherings and there's nothing left. The musicians know this and so they pride themselves as the pillars of the ministry. Idols have been raised by preachers who have lost focus."*
