Because of his own joyful nature, God created a being that love singing. He does place as a nature of man yearning for song, god not only gave us the ability to sing - See more details below;

He created us with a desired to suppress our innermost joy and praise through verses of song. it logical that god would make  singing a central expression of Christian living and communication, James wrote, ‘is anyone  cheerfully  let him song psalms“ (Js5:13).what is more natural to come from a joyful Christians heart than singing? you cannot stop Christian heart being cheerful . therefore you cannot stop them from singing even in prison, “Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God’s (Act 16:25),Paul proclaimed “I will sing with the spirit and also with understanding”(1Cor14:15) “In the midst of the congregation I will sing praise to you”(Hb2:21) To lead the church in the congregation singing is a ministry to which many should strive  to improve  singing is very important tent in Christian fellowship and Exhortation, wherever Christian are together, singing should be characteristic of their meetings The singing of spiritual song should not be confines to the Sunday assembles of the saints, the nature of the commands in the new testament in relations to singing emphasizes all occasions and every place of Christians should sung spiritual songs. Understanding a new testament commands in reference to singing should challenge many to be song leaders.

Once can be a song leader in his or her own home. We can lead singing in small groups church. In other word there are many opportunities where one can be song leader. The following points are suggestions to keep in mind when leading Christians in their communication with one another through singing as a group  of assembled disciples.

CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD SONG LEADER

Good song leaders learn skills that help them to bring out of the Christians heart the joy of Christian living. They see their ministry in leading people to praise god through song in the sense that they want people to express themselves through song. They lead in encouraging then fellow Christians to admonish one another through the medium of song .the following are some characteristic of a good song leader.

1.         Have a cheerful heart: James stated that singing will produce out of a cheerful heart (Js5:13). As a song leader, one must have a cheerful nature in order to bring out of people the joy of singing you cannot stimulate joy in the heart of those you lead in singing if you do not have such in your own heart. the cheerful manner by which one leads singing encourages others to sing with a cheerful.

2.         have a leading spirit: when leading singing before a group, once must lead the group. I have seen many men who could sing well, but they could not lead well. in the leading of congregational singing it is better to have one who can lead well than once who can actually sing well but cannot lead. Those who can sing well, but not lead well usually conduct assembles that are not as inspiring as they should be, it is ideal to have someone who can both sing well and the church well. Their is not always possible, One must keep in mind that if he is going to lead singing for the assembly of the church then he must do just that, lead the singing. if one does not know every effort, to learn through prayer and fasting god will raise up within us boldness to lead forth in public manner before an assembly. God will give strength and courage .

3.         HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OR THE PURPOSE OF CHRISTIAN SINGING:  Paul explains the purpose for singing in Ephesians5:19 and colossians3:16  “speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual song singing and making melody in your heart to the lord”.(Ep5:19), “let the word Christ duel in the you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalm and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the lord”(Cl3:16). the preceding two passages state the purpose why Christians sing spiritual songs on all occasion not just the assembles. keep in mind that the context of  these passages  does not state anything about the singing of spiritual songs being confirmed to the assemblies of the saints. Christians should be singing is a national manner by which we give God praise. It is natural for Christians to give God praise seven days a week. It is natural for them to express the Joing of their hearts do  others through the medium of singing. According to (Ep 5:19) and Col 3:16) Christians one to accomplish to so thing in their singing.
