Über die Zahlennotation

Die Zahlennotation (auch Jianpu oder 简谱 genannt) schreibt jede Melodienote als Zahl von 1 bis 7 statt als Note auf einem Notensystem. Die Zahl zeigt die Stellung der Note in der Tonleiter des Liedes -- nicht ihre genaue Tonhöhe --, sodass dieselbe Melodie unabhängig von der gesungenen Tonart gleich aussieht.

Innerhalb einer Oktave entsprechen die Zahlen 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 den bekannten Solmisationssilben Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti. Ein Punkt über einer Zahl hebt sie um eine Oktave an; ein Punkt darunter senkt sie um eine Oktave ab -- ohne Punkt bleibt es bei der mittleren, so geschriebenen Oktave.

Eine einzelne Zahl dauert einen Schlag. Ein Bindestrich (-) direkt nach einer Zahl hält dieselbe Note einen weiteren Schlag lang. Ein Strich unter einer Zahl verkürzt sie dagegen -- ein Strich ist ein halber Schlag, zwei Striche ein viertel Schlag. Eine 0 ist eine Pause: ein Schlag Stille.

Die Angabe oben auf dem Notenblatt, zum Beispiel "1=C" oder "1=Ab", zeigt, auf welcher Tonhöhe die Stufe 1 ("Do") liegt. Ein Lied in Moll trägt stattdessen die Angabe "6=X" -- Stufe 6 ("La") ist dann der eigentliche Grundton. Akkordsymbole über den Noten (wie "C" oder "G7") werden immer mit ihren gewohnten Buchstabennamen geschrieben, nie als Zahlen.

Bei der Angabe "1=C" klingen die Zahlen 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 als C D E F G A B. Bei "1=G" klingen dieselben Zahlen dagegen als G A B C D E F# -- gleiche Form, andere Tonart.

Is your life a channel of blessing

Preaching of the Gospel A Channel of Blessing

English928
1
Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is the love of God flowing through you?
Are you telling the lost of the Savior?
Are you ready His service to do?
 
Make me a channel of blessing today,
Make me a channel of blessing, I pray;
My life possessing, my service blessing,
Make me a channel of blessing today.
2
Is your life a channel of blessing?
Are you burdened for those that are lost?
Have you urged upon those who are straying,
The Savior who died on the cross?
3
We cannot be channels of blessing
If our lives are not free from all sin;
We will barriers be and a hindrance
To those we are trying to win.

I hadn’t thought of this hymn for a long time but it came to mind during my quiet time. The lyrics are my prayer as I go into counseling sessions today with my clients. I was touched by the comments from believers around the world! Surely our God is great and I send His love and blessings to you especially during this Thanksgiving season.

This hymn, also my old time favourite, was ringing in my mind for days now. I Googled the title and this site came up. Looking at the words oft this inspiring and very challenging hymn and reading all the comments make me realise that I need to die to self and clear the channel to be a clean vessel fit for the masters use. Thank you for sharing and I pray we all are ready to be channels of Blessings.

As I was praying to be used this hymn came up. It has always been a favorite of mine from a very young age. I believe it's a pointer to my kingdom work. Lord make me a channel of blessings I pray. Equip me for the work I pray. Help me do that which you have assigned to me. Use me I pray. Amen and amen. In Jesus' name

This hymn is inspiring, it keeps someone on the check, and its makes us to know that our life is a mirror before their eyes and a blessing to them.

This hymn came to my mind today when reading the devotional book "God Calling" edited by A. J. Russell. I was reading the entry for November 7. It makes the point that anything blocking our channel is only of ourself (self). We must keep self out and ask His Spirit to flow through. As a result, others will be helped and drawn to Him from coming in contact with us when we are unblocked channels. Others are helped and blessed by His Spirit flowing through us. And as said above in the comment for May 16, 2010, we have to realize that we are not the blessing, we are the channel, just as Jesus says "I am the vine and you are the branches."

The hymn is a message on its own reminding us of the need to be holy, worthy examples and true believers who practice what they preach and who labour to bring others to Christ through worthy example... be a channel.

As I was reading and listening to the instrumental, I came to a realization that I have not been a channel of blessing. It seems as if I change the channel when God places somewhere. Dear God, help me to not be disobedient to the Great Commission. In Jesus name, Amen.

My wife was searching for a song called "Channels Only" and we came across this song. We enjoyed it very much. It touched our hearts. Even more touching were the comments from others; a good challenge for all of us. Praise God.
