Read the Music Fine Print
The key to successful gift giving lies in the intent and approach of the giver and the receiver’s acknowledged acceptance of gifts. Every music gift that comes from God is a blessing. The music gift is for Gods sole pleasure. God is the proprietor of the music gift which is loaned to musicians or music business, who is called the music sharecropper. Music Sharecropping is a system of music production where the music proprietor-God allows a music sharecropper (musician) to use music in return for a share of the music produced on the earth.
Colossians 1:16 16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: Revelation 4:11 11Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
God never has relinquished His ownership of the music gift. Musicians are caretakers of the music gift. God has entrusted musicians both individually and collectively with the music responsibility. Musicians are, therefore, answerable to God.

Representations of (the song of the Lord) God on earth:
-
Model music community

-
Provide for the music family.
- Serve the least of them in the music industry and ministry
However, every music blessing has maintenance issues. Everything in creation has upside and downside maintenance issues. The maintenance issues are evident for multimillion dollar lottery winners. Approximately, one third of multimillion dollar lottery winners become bankrupt in just a few short years after they’re big win. Winners generally:
-
fail to address the emotional connection to the windfall
2) Believe that money solves most of our problems.
3) lack financial discipline and professional financial guidance
4) experience inevitable overwhelming depression
The Music Ministry that has a factory of faith to manifest great mega music projects conventions. Meanwhile, the music ministry possesses dilapidated storefront lifestyles to maintain the gift.
This blog will help the music community uncover, identify and recognize some of the music ministry weaknesses. I trust that the music ministry will identify, recognize and staff your music ministry weaknesses. I believe the music ministry that will identify three or four people and activities necessary for the healthy music life style, spiritual maintenance is a good step.
The music gift is the Lords. The music gift is the for sole pleasure of the sovereign. Gods music gift to us is His pleasure. His presence is our joy.

Romans 12: 1-2 So here's what I want youto do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering.
Musician Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: I encourage the music ministry to make a pact with your inner circle of musicians that no scandal will emerge from the group. Luke 22:31 (The Message) 31-32"Simon, stay on your toes. Satan has tried his best to separate all of you from me, like chaff from wheat. Simon, I've prayed for you in particular that you not give in or give out. When you have come through the time of testing, turn to your companions and give them a fresh start." 31Simon, Simon (Peter), listen! Satan has asked excessively that [all of] you be given up to him [out of the power and keeping of God], that he might sift [all of] you like grain, 31And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat
