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 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
