Criteria For
Performance Assessment
Of The Lead Choristers
Compulsory
The lead choristers are expected to abide by the following compulsory rules and regulations:
Rules And Regulations
1. Melody.
The songs shall be melodious. Discordant songs are not allowed. Likewise, noisy sounds, booming music and bombarding reverberations are abominations to the Lord. Noisy music is an abomination.
2. Harmony.
Harmony means that there is peace and agreement of the spirit and the music.
3. Duration.
Every song shall be sang for a long time, depending on its length of time, called cycle. Sing very short songs at least twenty-one (21) times. Sing short songs fourteen (14) times, and sing long song seven (7) times.
4. Timing.
The current song must march, fit, what is being said or done. It must ne relevant to the activity going on in spirit and in truth, both spiritually and physically. If there is change in programme, when the occasions changes from one event to another, the song shall also change to suit what is happening. For example, it is not good to sing the songs of evangelism, when healing is going on.
5. Trend.
The singing should be steady, not rise and fall, and not staccato. Randomness is not allowed. Generally, the singing should be:
a. Steady.
b. Crescendo, rising in volume and effect. The level of spiritual vibration rises from one level to a higher level.
c. Or, descendo, falling in volume and effects. The level of spiritual vibration falls from one level to a lower level.
When the singing is steady, the congregation maintain the same level of spiritual vibration, melody and tune. A rising session starts with ordinary singing, increase in volume, dancing, rejoicing, jubilation and gyration. But, a falling session would gradually decrease in volume, from dancing to clapping only and eventually stop with a low voice.
6. Smooth transition.
When a car with good shock-absorber moves over potholes and bumps, the passengers do not feel the effects of randomness and turbulence. The spring, which is the shock-absorber, cushions the distress, discomforts and disturbances, as the road were smooth. A bad lead chorister changes the song or tune anytime, anyhow and anywhere, even so without regard to the people’s feelings and delight.
In bad singing session, the lead chorister has to stop singing, in order to change from two-beat to three-beat. In some other occasions, the transition is not smooth. There is a kind of disorder for a very short time, before order is Roman Empire-established. In many radio and television broadcast, there is sudden break in the playing of a song or music. But, in a well-organized radio and television broadcast, the playing music is gradually lowered in volume and brought to a stop, while the upcoming music starts with a low volume and gradually increases to the required volume.
7. Selection of songs.
Always select the best of the songs and music. On many occasions, the congregation do not dance and rejoice simply because the song is not melodious and motivating enough.
8. Concentration.
During parade or salutation, the soldier concentrates on his duty. He does not have time for other things apart from what he is doing. While on parade,
a. A good soldier does not wave to people.
b. He does not converse with people near himself or far from himself.
c. He does not speak to others.
d. He does not leave the parade to correct or warn offenders.
e. He does not keep himself busy talking with people.
f. He does not look about.
g. He does not take care of his babies and children.
h. He is not searching for something inside his pocket or bag.
All these are not done as mark of honour and respect to the president or governor present. But, it is disappointing that during prayers and worship, you find the lead choristers doing some other things, while singing praises to God Almighty. A person is singing, and is at the same time, looking outside the window. He may be singing and looking away from the altar, without knowing and obeying the signals being given to him. In such occasions, he continues to sing a song, even when he is being motioned to stop singing. It is not good.
9. Dressing.
In this world of humanity, there are so many gospel music stars and songsters. Many of them are famous and very rich. But, it is regrettable that these trending musicians and singers are like discordant noisemakers before the throne of God, simply because their dressing styles are not saintly but worldly. Whoever that means to sing to God Almighty, must dress himself in pure and plain white garment. Similarly, all gospel bands must wear the same pure and plain white garments.
The things of the spirit are entirely different from the things of the flesh. Humanity continue to create various types of problems for themselves, because they always do things without taking the spiritual dimension into consideration.
But observe the gospel musicians and singers on the stage or at various occasions, they are wearing black dress, dresses with black colour designs, or other indecent dresses like show back, half-shoulder, minis, skimpy dresses, or even women wearing trousers and men’s cap. Al these things are abominations to the Lord, and their worldly fashions turn their many years of hard works into wasted years in the presence of God. By so doing, these gospel musicians and singers make themselves hypocrites, because they pretend to praise God Almighty, but are busy advertising the handiworks of Satan.
10. Truth.
In the churches, ministries and fellowships, you find lead choristers and gospel bands singing and praising God. They forget that these churches, ministries and fellowships are satanic churches, because they deny God by not keeping the Sabbath day holy. Why do Christians always forget that God is the God of Sabbath and that Jesus is the Lord of Sabbath?
They are not worshipping God in spirit and in truth.
11. Righteousness.
Most often, people do not know the meaning of the righteousness. And what people call righteousness is different from the righteousness of God.
For example, God says that the congregation should sing one song several times, before changing to another song. But in the churches, ministries and fellowships, they jump from one song to another, incessantly change the songs and tunes. The angels stand back and say, “Wild demons are on the stage!”
12. Holiness.
The worst aspect of Christianity is that they have abandoned all the rites of holiness. And they are busy provoking God with their pollutions and defilements. For example:
a. It is wrong to come to the house of God and start singing and playing music after romance and sex. But many people are doing it, without knowing they are pushing themselves down the slippery mountains and into the deadly valleys.
b. They start singing without first observing quiet time and meditation.
c. Without inviting the spirits of singing and music, who are the Cherubim and Seraphim. They forget what God said, “Not by power nor by might, but by my spirit.”
d. They use the same mouth in cursing, quarreling and rebuking.
e. They use the same mouth in eating anywhere and anyhow. It is against the rites of holiness for gospel singers and musicians to eat foods at burial and funeral ceremonies. Yet, they are doing so from time to time.
f. Most of the female singers and musicians are wearing weaveons, attachments, extra fingers, extra eye lashes and demonic makeups, while singing to God. That makes their songs and praises abominations and provocations to God Almighty.
g. The worst aspect is that all these women that abound in the churches, ministries and fellowships are very disobedient and stubborn. They enter the churches and holy places in their monthly periods, whereas God warned, in several places in the holy book, that women in their monthly periods, must not enter the temples and holy places. This is one of the reasons why many pastors and reverend fathers end up inside the hell fire, because they leave what God said in the scriptures, to do what people want, in order to have increased membership and large amounts of money.
h. Etc.
Nobody can please God without holiness.
13. Readiness.
Usually, the gospel moccasins and songsters are not ready, because they have not spent time to learn all that they should know about songs, music, prayers and worship. They have studied Spiritual Science.
“Any man of God, who has not studied Spiritual Science, is like a thief stealing from the vineyard of God. And all the souls stolen by them end up inside the hell fire.” The lead choristers are among these ministers of God, because they use their songs and music to cause the spiritual downfall of the majority, even without their knowing it.
14. Willingness.
Many are willing but not ready.
15. Availability
It is disappointing that throne of God, here, called DivineBase Ministry, does not have a standard choir. Yet, there are so many people talented with the spirit of singing and playing music. The choir cannot function, because they are not available. They abandon the throne of God and keep themselves busy singing songs and playing music in the various churches, ministries and fellowships, which are the gateways into the hell fire. These churches, ministries and fellowships are the deceptive handiworks of Satan, because Jesus founded and prayed for one church only. That is why all these churches, ministries and fellowships are the multiplicity od idolatry. The author says this, after seeing God face to face, before more than forty (40) times, and now more than seventy (70) times.
16. Joyfulness and gladness of heart.
The lead choristers shall not just sing. He has to be singing, clapping, dancing, smiling and motivating others. If he is dull, everybody will be dull and sluggish and weak. But, if he is happy and rejoicing, he radiates the same joyfulness and gladness of heart into others, and everybody will become equally lively, active and joyful.
Watch the worldly music stars and songsters on the stage. They are also doing something to make people happy and rejoice. Except that in most cases, what they do are devilish, even without their knowing it.
17. Stylish effects.
Observe the choirs in their various performances. They always stand like pillars while singing praise to God. They are expected to sing and dance, to rejoice, to add parades and salutations, relevant demonstrations, etc,
18. Fitness of personality and appearance.
Whatever a person s doing, he must discipline and comport himself to the core. His personality and appearance must fit what he is doing. That is being professional and …
It is wrong to allow ugly and awkward imbeciles to act films and comedies, because by so doing, they are spreading and promoting the same ugliness and awkwardness. People see things and keep quiet, because people do not know the spiritual consequences of such improper behaviours. Humanity fail to know that many people who are acting imbecile or fool shines end up inside the hell fir or reincarnate as imbeciles, because they have programmed themselves so. Humanity easily forget the admonitions of St Paul De Evangelist, who said:
“The level of spiritual vibration rises from one level to a higher level.
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy — meditate on these things.” Philippians 4:8
To meditate also means to concentrate on something. When people are watching an ugly person or imbecilely, they are concentrating on the ugliness and imbecility. The spiritual consequences is terrible indeed. Be warned!
19. Charisma.
20. Etc.
