CELESTIAL YOUTH AND HER HYMNAL EFFICACY

Honestly speaking the continuity of any generation lies critically on the efficiency and commitment of her youth to the vision of that generation. Considering the church established by the power of the blood of Jesus called Celestial Church of Christ, her youth must be rooted in the Word of God to appreciate her vision and hymnal value.

The epitome of Celestial hymns emanated from 2Peter 1: 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

These hymns are rendered by the prophet and prophetess as directed by the Holy Spirit. The mystery and uniqueness of Celestial hymns is that they were not rehearsed, orchestrated or rhetoric but in various forms as Holy Spirit gave them utterances to serve their purposes. 

They are designated for blessing, protection, thanksgiving, victory as weapons of warfare, as well as praises to the Lord. The Holy Spirit that wrote the Bible equally sent those hymns to His church that is why every stanza of it originated from the scriptures. Those that are spiritually minded will understand the power and the works of spiritual songs.

Ephesians 5: 19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; The beauty of these songs will manifest when they were sung with the right state of mind. Instead, people dance them away like orchestrated songs hence negates its purpose and objectives, forgetting that they have heavenly Hosts backing.

For instance  CCC Hymn 18  { Romans 6 : 1 , 10 :9 } that is meant for confession, forgiveness and repentance and call for sober reflect and utmost remorse you will see people  singing and dancing away the song without compunction; what a pity? I will mention a little of Celestial songs or hymns that complement the bible favourably:

CCC Hymn 305       Romans 8: 31

CCC Hymn 429       Romans 2: 6 – 7

CCC Hymn 283       Romans 3: 23

Stanza 3                       Rev 20: 12

The youth of the Church must be soaked in the Word of God, if they are to take the mantle of leadership of the church as at when due and to be able to defend their heritage in the time of challenges and from any aggression.
