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. It is the mission of the Music Ministry to build a team. The Music Ministry is a function of the spiritual body Ephesians 4:16. 

 Their may be a paradigm shift during Music Ministry rehearsal. It is a shift from Music Rehearsal to success waiting to be platformed. A project orientated Music Ministry is targeted for limitation. The Music Ministry limitation is in the inherent limitation of the Music Ministry project. The project is limited by the time, money , morality of the leadership, and scope of the project. A Music Ministry Icon can build a Music Convention, produce the highest gross CD sales, start a church, develop BET gospel music programming. But, these do not change the morale climate of the Music Cosmos alone. Music Ministry spiritual and character development can deliver a movement of God. We need  Music Ministry CD projects, music conventions, workshops, and choir festivals? Perhaps, the Music Ministry can be balanced by a focus on spiritual and character development. This character and spiritual awaking comes by Music Ministry Revival.

Let us consider the realm of the Music Ministry project. Music Ministry created in the realm of the flesh, produces fleshly Music projects (Galatians 6:7-8 ). I do not stand in judgment of the Music Ministry. But, does the Music Ministry know more about Music projects than God. Does the Music Ministry know more about adding a contemporary sound, choreography, praise dancers, digital recording, hip hop, mime worship, theatrical production than God. Is the Music Ministry myopic in attaining Music goals and objectives without attaining eternal life for the Music Cosmos and Music Ministry? Can the Music Ministry success be based on Music Ministry Conventions , Mega Music Icons producing CDs, praise teams, soloist, mass choirs, BET gospel music programming? But, I know that a Music Ministry that sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life for the Music Cosmos and Music Minsitry.  Galatians 6:7-8 (Amplified Bible) 7Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions, or by His precepts being set aside.) [He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God.] For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap.  8For he who sows to his own flesh (lower nature, sensuality) will from the flesh reap decay and ruin and destruction, but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

The Music Ministry must retool the Music Ministry.  Consider ushering in a season of deemphasizing the Music Music Product (Sunday Choir selections). A reemphasis on character development through the encounter with holiness of God-transforming power of God. Some of the rehearsal time has to be spent in discovering how the gifts work. Gift assessment, realization,  actualization is part of Music Ministry. Each person in the Music Ministry suited/fitted for Music Ministry success. The Minister of Music approaches Music Ministry as a Music servant.  He/She realizes that she/he does not have the complete measure of Grace, faith and authority to accomplish complete Music Ministry. Consequently, the Music Ministry starts to build a team. Ephesians 4:16 (Amplified Bible) 16For because of Him the whole body (the church, in all its various parts), closely joined and firmly knit together by the joints and ligaments with which it is supplied, when each part [with power adapted to its need] is working properly [in all its functions], grows to full maturity, building itself up in love.16From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according tothe effectual working in the measureof every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

Church attendance is enhanced by contemporary worship. However, church attendance can still be attributed to a churches ability to provide; a sense of belonging, place for membership significance, and secure place (consistency). Music Ministry success can not be built around the Music Ministries ability; to go Hip-Hop, modern/contemporary Gospel, generate CD sales, venerate Music Ministry Idols/stars, praise team worship and praise. 

It is the mission of the Music Ministry to build a team. The team will be built around the gifts of each member. Each member of the Music Ministry has been given a measure of Grace, faith and a measure of authority. Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Romans 12:3 ...according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. Measure, mevtron , Metron , met'-ron  measure, an instrument for measuring , a vessel for receiving and determining the quantity of things, whether dry or liquid , a graduated staff for measuring, a measuring rod proverbially, the rule or standard of judgment , determined extent, portion measured off, measure or limit , the required measure, the due, fit, measure

1. Measure of faith: Romans 12:3 (Amplified Bible) 3For by the grace (unmerited favor of God) given to me I warn everyone among you not to estimate and think of himself morehighly than he ought [not tohave anexaggerated opinion of his own importance], but to rate his ability with sober judgment, each according to the degree of faith apportioned by God to him.

2. Measure of rule: 2 Corinthians 10:13 For we shall not have glory over measure, but by the measure of the rule [but after the measure of rule] which God measured to us, the measure that stretcheth [till] to you.1 Cor 12:1,4,8-11 1 Corinthians 12 1Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.4Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

3. Measure of Grace : 7But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

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. Amos 3:3 (Amplified Bible) 3Do two walk together except they make an appointment and have agreed? The team is as strong as its weakest link.
