Spiritual preparation makes the difference

A lot of invitations to minister in songs, a whole lot of programs packed every week. Concerts, Worship services, Album launches, etc. come every time.

There is so much about being an artiste these days. People prefer the platform to showcase themselves rather than carrying the power of God. It is very important that we prepare ourselves spiritually first before setting out to minister.
As a matter of fact, there is no anointing when you are not spiritually prepared to bless lives. We will only hear beautiful harmonies.

Think on these things:
Do you genuinely ask God for His permission before you go for a ministration? Yes!! Have you asked God if it is His will to go there? Remember, you are a preacher in songs, and you need to be prepared to stand out to sing.
Song ministration  is not just about holding the mic to sing. You are a channel used to bring down God's divine power, anointing, and glory, and the devil will fight you to stop you from doing it. He may even attack your family or loved ones just to pull you down. Maybe even your ministry.

How prepared are we? 
We spend time preparing our outfits, make overs, and  rehearsals, but we spend little time in the presence of God. We need to know what God wants us to sing, because for every ministration, there is someone you have to reach out to. We do not have to miss this. It could be someone going through a challenge, someone that needs encouragement, someone that has been believing God for healing, someone that needs divine direction...the list goes on.

If you spend time asking God what He wants you to sing, He will give you that song for His people. Many times we just want to sing a new song: what we feel free to flow with, and maybe that is not what God wants us to do.

  • Spend some time in God's presence. Worship Him, and Pray. 
  • Picture yourself before the Owner of the universe
  • See yourself as His messenger going to deliver what He is sending you to

Remember it is for God's glory, not yours
Shalom!
