This is where we begin - One day as I was reading Bible I came across and amazing scripture. Solomon's temple was completed and priests were ministering and then God's glory filled temple. The awe and reverence caused everyone to stop and let God inhabit worship.

Looking back I realized that there was a lot of hard work and preparation that needed to happen. The nation Israel needed to come together and build temple. It all started with a vision from David. He desired to build a temple that was worthy for God. But, he could not because he shed too much blood in his lifetime. The torch was past on to his son Solomon.

Then I noticed that there was a distinct pattern regarding various stages of project. And pattern fits no matter what kind of building project you start. I want to show you how it applies to your music ministry.

The metaphor of building a house is appropriate in fact that it gives you a visual model to help understand how to build your music ministry. And you can apply this basic principle to make vast improvements in way you minister to people you serve.

With all this in mind let us look at four major steps toward building an awesome music ministry.

There are basically four major milestones whenever a building project is undertaken. These four milestones insure success of project. You can take these proven principles and apply them to your ministry.

Here are four major areas..

1) Have a Blueprint to guide your course.

You need to know and understand final outcome. You need to determine real purpose and goal for doing what you do. A blueprint will help guide and direct your path. The benefit of doing this is you will be able to predict outcome with a great deal of accuracy. You will have a roadmap and compass that will guide you though process. You will be able to make adjustments to way you are doing things now.

2) Build on a Solid Foundation

Dear Satan, I know who you are. I know how you think and I know what your plan is and how you will carry it out. The fact that you are a liar is no secret, but methods in which you tell your lies are deceitful. You do not have to tell a lie in its direct form (although you do) you can lie by simply not telling whole truth.

You know words of God almost as good as God does; only power of word does not work for you as it does for him. You do not have slightest idea what many of His words mean, you just say you do. Moreover, you never do what words says do.

You put on shows with antics in mockery of God in front of those that are ignorant to God’s word, and tell them only what you assume words mean. You walk fine line of truth and lie but you can never cross over because God will not let you, you have already chosen your destiny. You are angry for that so you tell lies, all lies. You quote what word says but you really don’t believe it, and you fill innocent and gullible minds with what you think you know, but you do not know anything.

Your whole plan is to trick people using your enemy’s word. You do not like God; in fact, you despise him because he is much more powerful than you are. He has all power, and you have none, and you are jealous. You may have more people on your side but ones God has on his side will never be yours. You think you can have them but you really know you can’t. You may even deceive many of them but you do not own them anymore.

You tell people that God does not love them and that he does not care, but truth is he does only not about you. You play childish games so well. You are mean and hatred is deep down inside you. You are angry all time and always depressed. You act like you love someone and they may even believe you, but in end, they soon realize you don’t. Moreover, you hate it when they find you out. Nevertheless, I also know that you do not care if they find out that you do not care. The only reason you get mad is that you were found out.

So you move on to your next victim and start off real nice and sweet, like you want to help them or teach them or care. And you do it very well, but remember, I know who you are, you can not fool me.
