Gospel Music - What To Sing?

 

A lot of gospel musicians are often faced with the growing need to deliver more inspiring songs. The kind of music that can thrive is the key issue that has left lots of upcoming gospel  artist stranded. Some ended up copying the style of famous gospel artist which might rob their peculiarity in the gospel market.

Gospel music is way harder than secular music, because in the gospel world, you imbibe discipline since the gospel is a culture of holiness. It also goes beyond that to heart of faith. The theme of  most best selling songs typically dwells on faith. 

What To Sing?

Copying the style of a major artist is not faith, but fake. Faith is originality. Sing what God has given you. Sing on the victory God has given you. The book of Revelation 15:3 tells us about the song of Moses. The song of Moses is the song of victory. Also David sang on the victory to the Lord.

Sing as the Spirit leads you. 

Never you try to be like someone else in the gospel music world. 

Your Peculiarity Is Your Power

People admire peculiarity. Copy and paste leaves you with no presence. Your peculiarity gives you presence, and presence brings popularity. 

What To Sing?

Sing in the Spirit. Singing in the Spirit is singing to God, not to man. "Men may not understand, how far you brought me", a lyric from Nigerian popular gospel artist Mercy Chinwo (Jesus OmeKannaya). 

 You don't sing for people to understand, but for God to understand. For the children of Israel to bring down the wall of Jericho, they didn't sing for men to understand them, but God understood their pain and problem. When you are called to minister as a gospel artist, you shouldn't be looking at people's faces. 

The act of worship is the act of focus. Be focus on God and spiritual songs would come. Don't be  focus on using your musical gift to earn money or fame.
