Turning Point – Ja Gospel Music

I sense in my spirit that yet again our beautiful country is at the brink of a change.
Exactly what am I talking about?
Approximately fifteen years ago, we were exactly at this point.
The gospel music had lost its colour, its flavour and salt.
We were just going through the motions, no anointing, and no excellence of spirit.
Most of the songs that were recorded originated from North America; we were merely putting the lyrics to reggae beats and then call them our own.

The Music Ministers became conscious that ‘concerts’ were dying and were in need of urgent rescue.
But, instead of seeking God for the heavenly sound He desired for them to sing, speak and play over the nation, they went to look at what was working in the world and guess what?

Yes…You guess right, they copied the ways of the world and brought it into the church.
Now, some may agree with me some may not.
I was but a boy when this was happening in Jamaica.
The Kingdom of God leads, the devil follows and tries to copy, not the other way around.
I am writing this from my heart as I ask God to give us Jamaica.
If you are in agreement with me then let us pray.

A series of events later followed that I will write about later called, ‘Music that holds the nation hostage’.

What can we do?
What is needed now is for the 'Praying and watchful’ people to pray.
We can hold seminars and discussions to open the eyes of the people. We can do ‘sing-shops’ and more.

But now we need to pray.

A change is on the horizon. Our land is in dire need of healing.
The Bride must prepare for the Groom. We are at a turning point.
We also run the risk of making another mistake that will render what happened over the last few years as a ‘huge joke.’

Pray, we must. Sit by and allow it to repeat itself, a risk too great to take.

If we are going to save the next generation and the present we must pray and act now.

We need to pray and ask God for music and songs that will capture the heart of Jamaica. Capture the hearts of the people and direct them to the Almighty God, a position the church once held. It is now in the hands of the ungodly.
The thoughts of our children, teens, youths and adults have been perverted by the music while the gospel music ministers find comfort in ‘entertainment’ and jesting.

My soul cries out, at this turning point, GOD PLEASE SAVE JAMAICA.
