So I was talking with an instrumentalist some days back and he was sharing with me how churches treat them. They are not respected because they play "an ordinary" instrument. Interesting!!!! But they make the music.
I felt so concerned because the church boils down to you and me. It is beyond the building we see. Every skilled or gifted man or woman in the house of the lord is important and the same.
Being an instrumentalist doesn't mean they are slaves in churches. I hear people address them as though they are not even worth the money they are being paid. Some of these men are married with children and that is their job. Does that mean they don't need to be paid? Don't they deserve respect also? They were employed to work and most of them just found their way into church. Can they also know this God through our actions and characters? Preaching alone is not enough. If you dont treat them well, they won't even believe in the God you want them to encounter.
I've noticed also that a lot of them don't even have interest to partake in the church programmes if they are on leave or break. They prefer sitting back at home. Most times they say " they don't practice What they preach " and they will prefer worshiping somewhere else. What must have gone wrong? Can we show them some love? Some of them needs Christ like we do. They have to make heaven like we want to. Don't treat like they are not important. Help them get better. Show love today.
