★ MY SERMON NOTES
@ Elratam Network Ministry, Jos
Plateau State - Nigeria
12th June, 1999
ARTS & SPEAKERS
* 2nd Speaker: [no data]
* Topic: The Gospel Musician in God's Ministry
* NOTE: The musician is God's musician and the ministry is God's ministry
* God operates on a full scale of completeness and He expects you to function thus (that is, on 'full current')
* God will not accept partially done work
* Like Israel, what are you asking God concerning your music ministry?
* Most Gospel musicians today are secular musicians with a Gospel tag
★ 1 Samuel 15-17 (Saul does God's instructions his own way)
* Some Gospel musicians carry God's command in a worldly fashion. They engage in quest for fame, money, properties, especially through modifying God's Word to fit worldly styles (So that it would be 'more acceptable' or less offensive to their audience)
→ This should not be so
* When you obey God, you must do it completely
* NOTE: God is grieved when His servants fail Him
★ John 15:14 →"You are my friends, if you do what I command you."
* Questions to Consider:
→ Who occupies the centre stage in your music ministry?
→ How does God see You?
→ Does He regard you as a rebellious servant?
* God will not accept any form of partial confession of your sins (verse 24)
* God can honour someone temporary for the sake of another faithful servant of His
* NOTE: God will always accomplish his prophesies (Words) in spite of your sins or act of disobedience
* If you don't do what God asks you to do, He will get someone else to do it
* Question: Has God been blessing your ministry because of someone else's faithfulness?
* There are so many unfinished songs that are been produced and sold today as Gospel Music.
⇒ Most of these come from unfruitful and unscriptural minds. God will reject them.
* Question: Are you harbouring any partially confessed sins in your life?
* Question: Who are you more like?
→ Saul (the partial worker)?
→ Samuel (the thorough worker)?
