1 Chronicles 25:1-31
The ministry of prophecying, accompanied by harps, lyres and cymbals.
Asaph, Heman and Jeduthun who prophesied under the king's supervision.
All these men were under the supervision of their fathers for the music of the temple of the Lord, with instruments.
Along with their relatives - all of them trained and skilled in music for the Lord - they were numbered 288. Young and old alike, teacher as well as student, cast lots for their duties.
There were 24 worship groups, each group has 12 members.
Why?
Music, both instrumental and vocal, was important in Jewish worship, as it was in social life generally. The Temple musicians were 'leaders in inspired prophecy', proclaiming God's message.
Asaph, Heman and Jeduthun were amongst the famous: they are named in the Psalms. But status does not come into the Temple service. Teacher and pupil alike share an equal place.
David, himself a skilled musician, must have taken special delight in this part of the arrangements, which he supervised personally.
To be a worship member is an important ministry before the Lord, it works as leaders in inspired prophecy.
Casts for their duties with the same position in worship God.
Those who are trained and skilled in music for the Lord. So we have to prepared ourseves to serve the Lord in worship music.
How?
It is a honor and holy service in church to lead congregation worshipping the Lord.
