Evidences That you May be Called to Music Ministry


Evidences That You May be Called to Music Ministry
Below is a list of strengths that a musician who is called to music ministry often has.  They  are not proofs of a calling to music ministry, but God often gives them to musicians who are called to be ministers of music.  Over the many years that I was a Bible College music professor, young musicians often mistook these gifts as a proofs that they were called to preach.  Here is the list that I have written for your consideration.
                        A passionate love for Scripture
                        An understanding of God’s Word
                        A desire to study music in the Bible
                        The ability to find spiritual meanings in sacred music
                        A desire to share those meanings with others
                        A spiritual burden for people
                        A desire to worship God with music
                        A gentleness and love for those with whom you music
                        A passion to music effectively
                        You have a dissatisfaction with mere artistic rendering of sacred music
                        A desire to seek and have the Holy Spirit’s anointing on your musicing
                        A recognition of the dangers of worshiping the creature(music) rather than its
                           Creator (God)
                        A sincere desire to music unto God rather than to consume music on
                           Your own desires 
                        You consider your musicing a confession of faith
                        You consider your music ministry a sacred trust
