Let's look at the big picture...
Church folk, The Urban Church particularly, Gospel "fans" are not supporting the giftings and ministries locally nor in the industry. Religiousity, personal insecurities, lack of vision, jealousy, envy and laziness have caused all too many of us to turn on and condemn the greatness of God through our brotheren. The heaviness of being on the "front line" sometimes requires us to look past the bumps, bruises and dirt to the purpose and intent God placed in us (and the people he allows or we choose to be in front of us).
We have put religious limits on Spiritual giftings. Music lives and breathes but todays church is so afraid to work toward greatness, to work toward perfection, to seek wisdom and knowledge in all their endeavors that we condemn things to be "show" which we don't understand. We use "flowing in the Spirit" as an excuse for lack of preparedness and having a plan plainly written on tables for others to run with it.
Why when we see folk walking with authority over their God-given abilities to we question their Spiritual Qualifications and Salvation. Ministry means Service not Preachy, Oh the glory... ceremonial, placated traditionalism that we endure week in and week out. We complain that we have no Christian outlets for entertainment refuse to acknowledge the gifts God placed and allows in our midsts and try to regulate the message he may be sending through "x" man/woman and the gifting steward.... or should be STEWARDS (caretakers) of. We will not allow God the opportunity to speak through a "donkey" these days. We will not seek out a teacher/mentor (our Elijah) and if by chance we find him we don't stay the course 'until he is caught up' so that we get a double portion. We don't even recognize any joy set before us and really have no intention of enduring any cross because we are not willing to run any race for fear of sweating our brand name facades.
Let's commit to mastering the talents which the Master gave us and multiplying them... Let's show ourselves workmen able to rightly divide the truth of our endeavors... Let us inspire one-anothers "babies to leap"... make some dry bones live... Go to Neniva with having to go through the (like Jonah) we "prejudged"... Let us learn the "laws"/standards of our craft so that great men should see the light. Sometimes we let our lack of will-power place limitations and misperceptions on others. We all need to learn our roles as musicians and then as ministers then work diligently to mature in those positions of rincrease our fus a better vantage point of discernment.
