Talent with the anointing – John Kagaruki

John Kagaruki

We often confuse talent with the anointing when it comes to public display of worship as we often judge by what we see on the outside. On these days of High Technology, glamour and glitz, it’s easy to fall into Props trap and be carried away by technically brilliant performance without realizing where the origins of that expression are from. We have come to enjoy “the moving heads” (lighting fixtures) rather than the moving of the Hearts.

We cheer and applaud technical excellence rather than the manifestation of God’s Presence as was witnessed in the launch of Solomon’s Temple (2Chronicles 5:13-14). We get offended when some one sings or Play off key but we cannot detect when we are spiritually of key!! What is the missing link? As a result many of our worship leaders turned out to be cheer leaders, and we are accepting this as the way things should be.
