April 2, 2014: Working Our Land

Proverbs 12:11 - Those who work their land will have abundant food,
but those who chase fantasies have no sense.


They key to this proverb is learning how to work our land. Especially as a worship leader, we want to work the land of others. We see worship leaders who lead thousands or bands that play for stadiums and it becomes easy for us to want that to be our land. But the proverb says that this is chasing fantasies because this is not our land.

God has given each of us our own spiritual land. It is territory that has been put in our charge to steward for Him. It is our responsibility to work that territory and the bible promises we will have more than enough if we do.

As worship leaders we need to recognize where we have favor and commit to grow and serving in those areas. Sometimes we overlook the areas in our life where we have favor and pursue ambitions where we have not yet found favor. It is better to take ownership of the areas of our lives where there is fruit and press forward.

All of us as worship leaders have different gifting and abilities. We're all unique. Lead people in worship in a way that is yours! Not someone else's. Step into to your place and your calling by working your land.
