Greetings in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I’m so thankful for each of you—led to a place of ministry in the great state of Michigan. What interesting challenges all of us faced this past year. And what abundant provision awaits those trusting in the promises of God. Amen! We’re in a fight brothers and sisters. And I’ve never been more thankful to be a soldier in the army of God. What does God have to say about 2009? It’s time to rise up worship leaders. An atmosphere of praise and worship in our churches has never been needed more. It’s time for God’s people to go to war with their praise. God’s word tells us, “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” Gal.6:9-10. Wow! Where will God set you up to do good unto all men? Ask God to reveal that, then keep it at the forefront of your thoughts as you look for opportunity. It’s easy to get caught up in things that are not the true focus of the Great Commission as it relates to the lost. That cannot happen in 2009. I encourage you to take some time to prioritize in the area of music ministry. I’m sure many of you have already done this. If you’re not connecting with those you’re ministering too within the church, let God help you figure it out. He will. If a recommitment to the basics is needed for the worship band, take the time to articulate it and then implement it worship leader. When we’re strong as a team, God blesses. Maybe certain specifics need attention but you don’t know how to fix them. Ask for help! Ask for prayer support. Take a stand. Don’t allow yourself the option of being discouraged. When we’re strong “doing good unto all men” becomes possible. Our state is filled with discouraged people. It’s time to make a measureable difference in their lives friends. We have the answer. We’re all in this together. If I can be of assistance, don’t hesitate to call or e-mail me. I am available to assist you upon your request. If this Michigan Contact page reaches you and you’re not on our current email list of Michigan worship leaders, please consider writing me with your email address, phone number and place of ministry. If possible, I look forward to connecting with you at a district function -Conference On The Ministry or District Council. And as always, may God bless His unfolding plan through your ministry in music.
God is good,
Tim Covert
