This is for Pastors, Music and Choir Directors and Music team members who desire growth and change.
Building excellent and effective music teams is a great task. Not everyone has done or can do this. A lot of people can join or lead a team after everything is rosy. Not everyone has the Patience and skill to build from ground up. When people see that a choir is nor yet set they run away to a choir that's already built and has everything going. The work it entails send many running away. Anything worth having is worth building. Anything that will last must be well const...

Curtailing Negative Extremes in Praise and Worship
Pentecostals, one time, classified white garment assemblies on a Blacklist being called many negative names and haunted down by the Levitical Raymond Reddingtons. Today we see a number of worship leaders in Pentecostal circles practicing the tongues and chants from the CCC and C&S and slapping it on worship songs. Suddenly Dembe and Reddington are both MIA. (Sincere apologies to those who are not fans of Blacklist). It's a trending trend now. Some call it tongues of Angels. Quite interesting. You know what I'm talking about even if you're on this table. Don't come down. Sit there. Let's...

Appreciate Your Backup Singers and Musicians Financially
As a growing worship leader and guest minister who is still working on developing some structure for my personal music ministry effectiveness, like having a consistent team of backup singers and musicians. I often have singers and musicians who would ask me to let them join me in going for ministrations as my backup singers or musicians. I usually would say to them I can only call you up when I'm certain of what my host will offer in terms of cash gift (honorarium). Because I can't call you up and leave you empty-handed.
God has helped me to understand that every worshipper, popular or not...

Worship and Emotions
There's the saying that women are more emotional than men. I beg to disagree though. I believe both are equally emotional, it's just that what touches our emotions can be quite different from what touches that of the women. Everyday, men smile, laugh, get angry, get sad, get worried, express all kinds of feelings. Emotions! Go to a football viewing centre and see how people's fathers, uncles and brothers are full of emotional expressions. Passionate. Aggressive. Lively.
I believe men are equally as emotional as women, but with respect to different things because of our varying desires.
