Your Talent Not For Competition

Matthew 25:14-15 KJV

For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.

From the above scripture, we see the master giving out talent according to there own abilities. The key word there is "to every man according to his several ability". The master was not looking for competition, but he needed them to work together each according to his strength thereby complementing each other's weaknesses.

Let's relate this to music and other parts of our lives. We all have different talents in the display, different persons uniquely empowered with his/her vocal strength to deliver to his/her unique audience. The truth is that this was intentional by the creator (God), not for competition rather for support, blending, and working together to achieve our creator's goal which is to draw us to Himself.

When we arm ourselves with this knowledge, we will live a relaxed life. We won't be carried away by other people, rather we will appreciate everyone with great talent.

Remember we're not in competition, we're all here serving God's people with our talent.

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...

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...
