Discovering Your Call To Music Ministry

10. Maintain a life of purity (2 Tim. 2:19-21; 2 Corinthians 7:1). Right-living insures your usefulness to God.

11. Don't neglect your gift (1 Tim. 4:14). The gift that God has given you is to be GIVEN AWAY! The body of Christ is depending on your contribution to the kingdom of God.

12. Keep your family BEFORE your ministry. Maintain balance between family and ministry. Be careful not to do ministry at the expense of your family. There's a difference between serving God and serving God so much that you are neglecting your family. The Lord never intended for us to serve Him and let our families suffer in the process. You will know when your priorities are out of order when your wife and children begin to complain about your excessive absence. Your family is your FIRST ministry!

The Four Voices:


As you begin to sense the direction you should be going in, understanding the Four Voices will help provide a level of guidance.


1) The Voice of the Spirit (inward impression)


You always know when God is speaking to you because His prompting will burn within you.



2) The Voice of Reason (common sense)



Often times we don't use common sense when making decisions. For example, common sense would involve looking at your skills relative to the area of ministry you're interested in.


3) The Voice of Friends (trusted friends)


If you surround yourself with people that have your best interests at heart, they will provide the necessary guidance you need (Prov. 11:14; 12:15; 15:22).


4) The Voice of Opportunity (circumstances)


Be aware of the doors the Lord will open for you. He specializes in orchestrating circumstances around you so that you can see His provision (1 Cor.16:9; Col. 4:3). The word "doors" in scripture are symbolic of opportunities. Remember, vision precedes provision!
