The Music Director/Choir Members

BENEFITS OF HAVING A GOOD MUSIC DIRECTOR

1. They are willing to correct you when you make mistakes.

2. They push you beyond your limit even when you're angry.

3. They console you and also shout at you when you misbehave, this is because they want the best out of you, not hatred as some do think.

4. They take the blame of your mistakes from the audience after a ministration.

5. They pray for you while you're on stage so you don't misbehave.

6. They know you better musically (your abilities, weaknesses, potential etc), that's why they get angry when you reject any responsibility given to you, this is because they know you can do it.

N/B: If this qualities are not traceable to your music director, pray for him but he might also be doing other good things not mention here.

7 things worship leaders need to stop doing.

So I came across this video on YouTube by Allen Parr (founder of The Beat) and felt like sharing with worship leaders because it will help and improve us. Seven (7) things worship leaders need to stop doing. 1. Stop making worship about you. Worship is not about you but about God. Stop drawing attention to yourself. Avoid distraction and lead people to God. 2. Stop singing songs that are theologically inaccurate. As worship leader, we have the opportunity to lead people into God's presence and also teach them something about God's nature. We can't afford to lead them astray by singing lyrics that are theologically inaccurate. Always know that lyrics are so powerful that people tend to remember them quickly. 3. Stop being predictable. Be different. Be creative. Just do something different from the normal you. 4. Stop commanding people during worship. Our job as worship leaders is to lead people into God's presence and not to command...

The Process 2

You may need to read my first write-up on " The Process 1 " to enable you to follow through on this. Now for that 9 years, I served in the church as a Music Director, it was not fun as I had to deal with a lot both from both within and outside my church. I never understood what to do and so there were days I was very angry and even felt like giving up (I did sometimes). I had personal issues that were distracting me from my service, but one thing kept me going and it was the love/passion I have for what I do. See, getting to the top is not easy and will never be not even in the future. The process is what builds you up to that future you desire only that you have to go through the pains which will enable you to teach others after you've overcome. N/B: Every opportunity to serve is part of the process. If you miss it, you've missed out. In summary, there will be obstacles on your way but you don't have to quit because quitters never win and winners nev...

True Worshipers

John 4:23-24 NIV Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” After many years as a worship leader thinking that this verse of the scripture refers mostly the us as worship leaders but it became more clearing to me this morning that everyone is involved in this scripture. We were having fellowship this morning and a brother in the meeting was leading in prayer and quoted this scripture but took a different approach to it. Out of the many things he said, one thing sticked to my heart, he said "a true worshipper is not a singer, but all who worship God with a pure heart, also in Spirit and in truth. This kept me thinking all through even as I try to shift from my formal thought as a worship leader, but this is the truth I wanted to hear and it have changed my thought ...
