MY LIFE IS IN YOU

This evening, we sang the following gospel song before the start of Bro. Johnson's meeting in Dubai. The musicians were going crazy with their guitars and the singers sang the following song with much gusto ...
MY LIFE IS IN YOU LORDMY STRENGTH IS IN YOU LORDMY HOPE IS IN YOU LORDIN YOU, IT'S IN YOU
The pastor made a gesture to stop singing but the singers had closed their eyes and did not see it. I was playing my flute and i noticed. I tapped the end of the flute to attract Bro. Benson (guitarist) to tell him to stop but he just nodded and continued to play. Even the second signal did not do the trick and so the Pastor just butted in with a, "Hold on, hold on!"
"What do you mean by 'My life is in you Lord?' He challenged the congregation.
There was a pin drop silence and the brethren looked at each other, some shrugging their shoulders whilst others murmured some unsatisfactory answers.
"When you sing, you must sing with understanding," the pastor explained. "When you say 'my life is in you', it means that you are,
- no longer thinking wordly thoughts, - no longer thinking selfishly, - no longer chasing your own dreams, - no longer glorifying yourself, - no longer hoarding wealth, - no longer living a defeated existence, - no longer sick and dying,
IF your life is in Him, you will,
- Think like Jesus (As written in His word)- Love your neighbour as yourself,- Be part of God's dream to preach His saving gospel to the ends of the earth,- Humble yourself (Have a servant attitude as you lead others)- Give generously from what God has blessed you with.- Live victoriously- Experience God's healing touch and favour.
IN HIM, YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD, LIVING THE "ZOE" (GOD KIND OF LIFE) LIFE!  A NEW CREATION! A VICTORIOUS KING! MAKE HIS WORD, YOUR VOICE
