1 . DON ’ T LOSE SIGHT OF THE IMPORTANCE OF YOUR CALLING .
Praise is a prophetic ministry that brings freedom and proclaims the Living Word of God . ( 1 Cor . 25:1 )
My job is not only to make music , find chords , or create ambiances with the piano . During worship and praise times God manifests his presence supernaturally and it is exciting to see the way He works out His miracles in a mighty way bringing healing , deliverance , restoration , joy , and so much more than what we could ask or imagine .

Our mission as ministers is for God to feel pleased and to be enthroned in our praise . We give all worship to Him ; not to music , not to ourselves , to excellence , or the tools we have . We are servants in a great banquet to honor the King of kings , where Christ meets face to face with his church .

Remember it ’ s not the instrument or the platform what makes you a worshiper .
Let ’ s aim for our music to be the fruit of a spirit that remains connected to the Holy Spirit of
