Music Ministry Revival and Teamwork

Teamwork is a sign of the Music Ministry Revival.  We are called to something great but we can't do it ourselves. Vincent Lombardi said The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual. Andrew Carnegie: Quotes on Teamwork: Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.

Teamwork is ( Ghandi) discovering where people want to go and then taking them there. Leadership speaks of a team. Music Ministry Revival needs a team. Two are necessary for Multiplication.

 

The team is as strong as its weakest link. 

Amos 3:3 (Amplified Bible) 3Do two walk together except they make an appointment and have agreed?<O:P> </O:P>

Teamwork and the Movement of God

August 28, 1963
A crowd of 200,000 hears Mahalia Jackson's moving rendition of the inspirational "I Been 'Buked and I Been Scorned," which precedes Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC.




First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes, the great contralto appeared the following Easter Sunday (9 Apr. 1939) on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial before an appreciative audience of 75,000. She began the concert by singing "America" and then proceeded to sing an Italian aria, Schubert's Ave Maria, and three Negro spirituals, "Gospel Train," "Trampin,"' and "My Soul Is Anchored in the Lord." Notably, she also sang "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen." Commemorating the 1939 Lincoln Memorial concert is a mural at the Interior Department; it was formally presented in 1943, the year that Anderson made her first appearance in Constitution Hall, by invitation of the Daughters of the American Revolution and benefiting United China Relief.

Teamwork follows the Movement of God  A song accompanies a movement of God. An example is the Emancipation and Spirituals.  An observation of the "minstrels" of the Music Cosmos will also give a clue of the partnership and teamwork of the Music Cosmos and Music Cosmos "prophets". Bob Dylan The answer is blowing in the wind, Beatles Imagine and Peace songs, Erica Bydu, War, war, war, war, war . . . What is it good for? Absolutely nothin, nothin', nothin', nothin . (Battlecry Remix), Bob Marley, "The New York City police shooting of African immigrant Amadou Diallo created a mini-genre of tribute songs—Springsteen's heartfelt if monotonous American Skin, Wyclef Jean's lilting Diallo and Erykah Badu's oblique A.D. 2000. The justice system may be to the rebel music of the 21st century as the military was to the '60s. Nigeria's Femi Kuti, son of Afropop pioneer Fela Kuti, has, like his father, created a vibrant, pulsing, sweaty, sound that's half African by way of Africa and half African byway of James Brown."

Music, song and worship were at the heart of the 1904 Welsh Revival The Welsh are also a very musical people, and worshipful singing was a feature of the revival. As the Holy Spirit moved, it was common to find part of the congregation singing a hymn in rapturous awe, while others were on the floor crying in agony for God's mercy. An eye-witness recalls: "Such marvellous singing, quite unrehearsed, could only be created by the Holy Spirit. No choir, no conductor, no organ - just spontaneous, unctionised soul-singing. Once the first hymn was given out, the meeting ran itself. There was no leader, but people felt an unseen control. Singing, sobbing, praying intermingled without intermission." Singing was a fruit of the revival. Many of those powerfully filled by the Holy Spirit recorded their experiences, especially of how they trembled, laughed and sang for hours afterwards.

. Music and the Move of God-Teamwork. Jesus' Last Supper ... "The disciples went out to the Mount of Olives and sang a hymn. Another Exemplary Music Ministry Team is Billy Graham-George Beverly Shea. Billy Graham represented a evangelical movement of God. George Beverly Shea music embodied the Evangelist movement "Just as I am". Reformation and Music Reforms-Martin Luther songs, Creation Job 38:7 7When the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy? Jonah 2:9  Jonah sang a psalm of thanksgiving

The Music Ministry Revival will sink or swim based on its teamwork. Could teamwork among the Music Ministry solve:

  • World Hunger

  • A common agenda for Music Ministry Convention-leaders

  • Lower the increasing divorce rate among Music Ministry couples in their 40s, 50s, 60s and even the 70s

  • Music Ministry and AIDS and drug dependency

  • Control, Distribute , Produce CD for the general Music Ministry

  • Sexism, classism, racism in the Music Ministry

  • Affordable Senior Housing for the Music Ministry

  • Music Ministry pension funds

  • Retooling the the Music Ministry from Industrial Pipe Organ, organic Piano to electronic instruments

  • Institute Remedial music education program for the Music Ministry

  • Updating resume service for the Music Ministry who is out of work

  • Redeem rap music into Christ-centric rap Music
