Play background music as you read. Turn your speakers down low!
Serving as the Pastor of
Word Clarity Family Christian Ministries has made it possible to put every skill for God's good pleasure and purpose. Teaching music has been
Pastor D. lifetime passion. Its what I love to do. Teaching is my God given and born gift. All the skills accumulated are the fruit of persistence, patience, and hard studying.
For many years,
Pastor D. has been offered a vast array of prestigious opportunities to prosper in the national music business as a Gospel solo artist. Thrilling as those opportunities seemed, they did not bring Pastor D. the same level of fulfillment as teaching music as a private instructor. Teaching music embodies everything
in his character. Pastor D. is widely known for “explaining & analyzing. He knows without a shadow of doubt that teaching music is an extension of his calling as a Pastor. Musicians all over Georgia and the USA have blossomed as a result of taking musical training from Pastor D. Training musicians to
fill the void in the Church drives all his efforts and commitments to share his many God given gifts.
2 Peter 1:10
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure:
for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
Yes, as a multi-talented man-of-God, for many years, I've instantly turned down every offer to do something else. What have you turned down to do God's will?
It has already been settled. Teaching is my passion!.
People who refuse to accept my description of my God given calling to teach, often don't know or walk fully in their own calling. Most people main interest is just to have admired talent, fame, and fortune rather than pursue a God given mission. God does commission his servants to do all the Good" they can, rather we are called to pursue all the "Right"
we can. Having this world fame & wealthy does not define a person value before God. Neither does it confirmed that you have accomplish God's will for your life. Greatness before God is measured by the sincere quality of service given to others for God's glory. Serving others through my many skills has been my life-long concept in retaining my focus as an instructor.
Matthew 20:26
But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your
servant: 28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
To some people, I'm supposedly missing something by choosing to remain with private teaching. Maybe I'm missing fame and fortune. Sorry, it does not work that way we your life is directed by God's predetermined will. The Pastor D. Student Showcase 2003 is
my absolute opportunity to see the fruit of my labors. Every student participant represents my fame, fortune, and mission accomplish. Teachers have no meaning or value without students. Having students
makes the teacher's role one of the most important occupation in the world. Everything in life has been learned and understood through some form of teaching. Parenting, medical fields, science, technology, etc. have progressively develop through teaching.
-
The first job of humanity came through teaching! Adam & Eve raising a family.
-
The last job of humanity comes through teaching. (drawing souls to Christ)
-
Ultimately! all that God does toward man-kind is a form of teaching! And we're not following all his instructions.
-
The greatest book written (Bible) is teaching!
-
The Body of Christ most important role in the world is teaching!
There is no mistaken the value of teaching. We all need teaching. Unfortunately, most people are interested only in receiving, attention, compliments, recognition, etc.
Teachers life focus solely on given. Therefore, being an instructor has much more meaning than what the world highlights as success.
Seeing all my students participate in the Pastor D. Student Showcase 2003 was one of the most important and incredible events in my life. It was without question, my lifetime Grammy Award". No other personal recognition could bring this manner of joy. Years of training have continued to bring forth well prepared disciples for God's use. Fruit is hanging abundantly
over the fence. God is getting the glory and students or establishing the ministries, and I'm enjoying the thrills of seeing so much fruit blossom before my very eyes.
May God continue to bless each of you as you pursue excellence in the music ministry and service of almighty God. To have discovered Fresh Gospel Music Lessons proves you all have found favor with God.
Although some students may not ever obtain the same level of skillfulness of other students, you can rest assure that you would eventually become the very best at what
God has assign you to do. According your personal assignment from God, you are theBEST at what YOU do. No one else was given your assignment and therefore not capable of outdoing you on what only you have been given! God loves you and so do I!
Hopefully, this biography will clarify the meaning of my life as a servant of God, Pastor, and music educator. If at the conclusion of my life, I have not wealth, fame, or fortune; having given my all and see all my students blossom will have made the labor worth it.
My life has been truly one of Purpose Wealth!
Through it all, God's grace, mercy and favor has kept me focus on the mission for my life.
Be R--E--A--L Encouraged!
Most people say that being in Pastor D.'s company is like being in class all the time! Honestly, it is the absolute truth!
