The trumpeters and musicians joined in unison to give praise and thanks to the LORD. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, the singers raised their voices in praise to the LORD and sang: “He is good; his love endures forever.” Then the temple of the LORD was filled with the cloud,.
2 Chronicles 5:13
A choir in the church is the voice of God in song. Though they sing songs of praise to the Lord, the word of God is also spread in song for the congregation. Songs are supposed to be sounds that echo in the minds of believers. They can admonish, teach, praise, remind and minister to the believer.
The songs of God in a believer’s ears bring them much comfort and reassurance in the Lord. It gives hope and builds the faith of believers, especially when they are in difficult situations and need reminding why the Lord loves them. It also reminds believers of the greatness of God.
Singing songs of praise helps believers to worship God and spend time in His presence. When the sounds of God words hit the believer’s ears, it is supposed to rekindle the spirit in them and fan the flames of joy and contentment.
Songs of encouragement help the believer trust God in any situation they may be in. When a believer thinks they are alone and a situation is too much for them, a song of admonishing that tells of God’s goodness and His plan never to desert His own brings comfort to the believer.
So that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 15:6
A choir is fundamentally a group of believers who are dedicated to using their voices to worship and praise the Lord. A choir only works when every voice knows what to do and when to do it. There is a sync that must occur if the music is to come out how it s supposed to. Every single note in a choir is of critical importance and must be preserved.
As a chorister, you must avail yourself to the Lord to be led by the Holy Spirit and not by your own understanding. Singing the songs of God is not the same as singing songs of the world. Songs of God serve a purpose to His people.
Remember the walls of Jericho came down as a result of trumpets and song (Joshua 6). This means that if the songs of God are sung the right way, they will cause miracles in the lives of people. These songs can destroy walls of bondage and slavery. All demonic interventions in the group will disrupt its purpose.
Every voice must play the role it is assigned. This makes sure that the desired sound comes out. No voice should do as they please but rather must adhere to instructions to be able to harmonize with the others.
The choir is very important in the house of God. As believers, we must learn to pray for the choir so it can function as the church and the Lord needs it to.

When the choir sings, they portray the beauty of God’s creation. In their ministration there is peace, freedom, love, life, encouragement, beauty, calm, and all the blessings of the Lord. The choir is a group in the church that should be protected and kept holy at all times. There should be no quarrels and qualms in there. It is the sacred voice of the Lord.
If there are issues between choristers, it should be solved and sorted immediately. The Lord’s voice should always be heard loud and clearly. There are people who receive their miracles from the songs they sing. Someone can receive their salvation through their songs. Others may receive their healing through their songs that is why they must be kept sacred and functioning at all times.
Give praise to the LORD, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done.
Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.
Psalm 105:1,2
