3 Things To Watch Out for as a Minister In Songs!



For many years now, aside my teaching ministry, one of my ministries that is always very impacting is in song ministrations!

Don't get me wrong, I am no master in the art but somehow, by grace each time I really minister in songs, many are blessed and the feed back is amazing!

Now this post isn't about me but about few things that every minister in songs should watch out for! No doubt, fame can be exciting, its a great feeling when many recognize and appreciate your talent but unfortunately its this same feelings that have brought many great talents down to nothing!

Please understand this, its important to note that any service not acceptable by God even when seemingly acceptable by men is never profitable! also understand that there is only one minster is this forever, its not the pulpit ministry cause it will end when jesus comes, but the minstry of  praise and worship will continue! it has been before creation and will still continue even after the end of this world! so its a priviledge to be a part of it.

 Quickly, three things that we must watch out for;
In John 4:23; Christ admonishes us to "Worship" in Spirit and Truth. I have found out that these are really vital in our ministry. I am sure any minister out there would angry with me that if your songs don't carry the Holy Ghost , they are just empty words that sounds nice and entertaining, it holds no lasting impact!

1. Watch out for the Spirit.
This is you singing and the holy ghost ministering, He is in the atmosphere and everyone feels his impact! This is ministering and not entertainment!

2. Watch out for the Truth.
Many do not actually know worshiping with one of these makes your worship incomplete -We are told to worship in spirit and truth!
Worshiping in truth means serving in sincerity -not deceiving yourself while at it! Be sure to be living what you're singing!


3. Watch out for Pride.
Many allow fame get in their head and all of sudden they are thinking they are the biggest in town, you can't talk to them or give them advice anymore. They only minister when they feel like it! This is one thing you should actually really be careful for, the quickest way to the top and down is pride!

Your greatness is certain as you continue to minister in spirit and truth as well as in humility!

 M arch 1st 2015 Hmm, where do I start from, don't really know how to do this, but I heard keeping a journal or Diary can help relieve stress, trust me, I have so much I need relief from. So I guess I will start with introducing myself... Dear diary, I am Temtope Olohuntoyin, friends call me temi, enemies? I don't really care much what they think. I was born some 27yrs ago into the family of mr and mrs olohuntoyin mom damilola dad bidemi. Live in Lagos Nigeria. My parents story, I think it's best we reserve it for another day, It is a handful. As an only child I am so loved, I went to the best of schools, have the best of everything, well almost everything... Recently, I over heard my friends talking about me, some how they think I have had everything handed down to me, born with a silver spoon, blah blah blah... I must say I was shocked at first, but then again that's what most friends do, talk about you behind your back. I just wish they knew it's not as

8pm Ha! Can't believe the trouble I had to go through just to cook myself something to eat, setting up a place to cook wasn't easy, the house where I got an accommodation is made up of six rooms with a long hall separating them, making it three rooms on each sides with no kitchen, it was like I was back to school again, only that this time it was very different. Back then at school, the houses were pretty, more comfy and it smelled better, plus I didn't really live in one of those houses I just visited some friends there. After much debate, I finally decided to set up my kitchen just outside my door, this meant I had to keep an eye on it not because I didn't want the food getting burnt but because I don't have much trust for anyone here yet, it's better safe than sorry! Back home, though I still complained about cooking but we pretty much had it easy! Too easy! You pretty much cooked and ate, slept at the same place. Life in the city is a distinct contrast

March 4th 2016 Dear diary, this is my second day here now and so far, it's been crazy! Came back late yesterday as I feared, turns out the bank was way off this Village! I was able to get some stuffs, even though they were not really up to my taste, I guess I will make do with what I have! I finally put a call through to my family, I called Lekan first, I could barely hear him, but he sounded angry, something about why I didn't tell him about my trip, I guess he called home and they told him about it... Awww, whatever! Mom was happy to finally hear from me, she kept asking "omo mi (my child) are you alright, are you safe, what are you eating, how are you coping?. ..  So many questions, I could barely say anything, when she finally gave me a chance to speak, I just told her I was ok, that she shouldn't worry about me. I guess Dad is still pissed at me, cos he wouldn't talk to me, mom said not to worry about him that he will eventually come around, so I have de
