*DAILY DEW 30/MAY/2022* *COMMISSIONED* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *“Go then and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days (perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), to the [very] close and consummation of the age. Amen (so let it be)."* (Matthew 28:19-20 (Amplified)) _Bible Insight:_ You see, my understanding of ministry makes it very hard for me to put musicians on such pedestals that makes them feel so entitled. Because you see, the person doing the most in the church is the SOUL WINNER. If you don't get this, you might need to read the whole of the gospels and Acts again. So, the major person Jesus is going to commend in the church is the SOUL WINNER. Take away his work, there will be no ministry! The soul winner is any Christian that has received training for the work of ministry. Do we pay those? If we don't pay people for winning souls, which is the major work in the church; the major work that makes the work of Jesus come to effect in the lives of men, then I can't be thinking of paying people for ushering, playing instrument, etc. Does that mean I don't value them? Oh, is money how we value people's service in church now? Who are they serving? Jesus? He values them! We value them too! And we value everyone serving the Lord freely in His house. The church is such that the keyboardist is grateful for the usher, not that he feels he is the engine driving the ministry and everyone else should be grateful that he's around. Poor mindset. This is why folks in church who are growing in the word should be the ones to rather learn to play one or two instruments. Such men don't feel entitled in the ministry. They know they've been blessed and their service is nothing but gratitude. I really don't get this talk about, 'So with the much work and effort and money I invested in my craft, I should be playing in church for free?' Who is this one really? Are you to serve the Lord with something that doesn't cost you at all? Some left their families, sold their houses, forfeited career opportunities to serve Jesus but you have invested too much in music to do it for the Lord freely? Please, stop playing and enrol in foundation class. Funny people. _MEDITATION:_ *“Do you know I learnt to write just because of ministry? That's what passion for the Lord compels us to do. Those times will be here again, when we will learn skills just to waste them on the Lord like the woman with the alabaster box.
