Especially in the gospel industry. In writing music, I can say that most of the common challenges you must find the contents. And coming up with the content that people can listen to, sometimes it may be a challenge because you can come out. I think you have listened to so many new musicians who have sung. And sometimes someone can come up with a content and you listen to it. You feel like this is not the real message that I want to listen to. So you have to go into prayer and seek God to help you. So that any message that you bring out, it may help because my work, it is to preach to people. So that people, when they listen to this music that I have done, they will be saved. They will be encouraged. So that is my reason of doing this music. And another challenge, maybe in recording, sometimes you may lack fans. Sometimes you may find that you do not have even the time to go and record your music because like right now I am a married woman. So sometimes it's a challenge balancing here and there, but the grace of God is sufficient in everything because when God has put a message in you, he always finds a way out that you can put it outside there so that people can listen to what is given you in your heart. There is a discussion that I think I feel has not been exhausted about worship ministers. I prefer to call them that, about worship ministers being appreciated in the churches they serve. What's your opinion on that? Okay. Appreciated or paid? One of the two. Okay. To me, appreciation, it's okay, but maybe I can go to this direction. You may not be appreciated, maybe at the church that you are serving or in another church that you are going to minister. That's what I tell myself when I go to minister outside there. I may not get to be appreciated. So long as I'm doing what God has sent me, the message that God has put in me, so long as I'm giving it to people, it doesn't worry me. If it is appreciated, it will just come later, at it is on time. That's what I tell myself because if I focus to that direction, then I will not be able to minister to God. I will not be able to minister. I will be discouraged each and every time and I will not be able to do the work of God the way it is supposed to be here. Should worship ministers have a rate card? By a rate card, I mean, you see the way when you invite a secularization, they tell you, you will pay me 150, you will pay me 200. So should worship ministers have a rate card? When you invite them, should they come and tell you for you to have me come into your show, you need to give me 100,000 or 50,000? Well, I think most of us, we have forgot what's called the purpose to which God called us to. If you know the purpose to which God called you, then you will not do that. To me, if you call me, if you love to appreciate me, yes. I will accept. But if you would not want to appreciate me, then I just leave it. So to me, no. To me as a gospel artist, and a gospel artist who is saved, this is the message God has given you for free. Just spread it for free. But if that money comes, someone calls you and tells you we are going to give you this and this. Just come and grace our event. Then it's okay. But you have invested money into your video and into your work? Of course. But if you put regressions in this ministry, let me tell you, you will not be able to minister. That's all I know. You will not be able to minister. I tell you today that I'm not coming to your church because I've gone to so many churches in the place that I stay. I've gone to so many churches and I've not been given even a single seat. Because maybe this church, they need your ministry. There are some people there you're going to encourage. There are some people there who get saved because of your music. And then you are telling them you must pay me 50,000 so that you can get saved. No, even the city sometimes, I give them for free. I was telling another pastor that I missed in his church, like two months ago, one to two months ago, I was telling him, I feel like I can give out this seat for free so that people can listen to this message. Because what if I tell you that I'm selling this seat and you'd not have money? Have I preached the gospel? Have I accomplished the mission that God has sent me? Because in Matthew 28, verse 19 and 20, the Bible says that you go, I command you to go and make disciples. So to me, this is the gift that God has given me. And I'm preaching through my music. It's like a pastor who is standing on the pulpit and preaching to people. So to me, I'm preaching through my gospel. The gospel that God has given me, by grace. As we approach a close of this conversation, what would you say is the greatest need of the music industry right now? In terms, especially now that you're in the gospel industry? Sorry? What is the greatest need of the music industry, the gospel music industry as of now? In your opinion? Okay. I can say that the need that is in the music industry, the gospel, is that we need to rise. We need to rise and preach the gospel. Because I can tell you, people are lost outside there. We always say that the laborers are few. The harvest is plenty. But the harvest is plenty. So it is me, as the wrecker, to go outside there, being appreciated or not, to preach the gospel of God. So that we can... Our goal is to populate heaven and to populate hell. Yeah. Nice, nice, nice, nice. Any other thing you want to share? Maybe I'll have to encourage someone outside there. Maybe someone needs to upcoming minister and they have challenges. They want to put their music into recording and maybe they are not able... I'll just encourage someone outside there that when you are in God, you have everything. Just write your music and the appointment of God will reach. When God will make that music, or whatever he has put in you to come out of you, because he has to use you. Because he is the one who has given you that gift. You have not given it to yourself. So get encouraged. Be hardworking. Be determined. And above it all, be consistent. Because without all those, and put God ahead in everything that you are doing, God will make it a success. Yeah. Nice. Thank you so much. Thank you for coming. Thank you for sharing. I want to ask you to give us a parting shot using that camera. Salimi and my fans, tell us where we can find them on social media. Okay. Thank you for watching me in this channel Y254. We God bless you. I love to greet my husband who is watching me. I love you so much. And thank you for making this day a success. Because if you have not allowed me to come to this place to preach through gospel, I would not have been in this place. So I appreciate you so much. And I love you so much. Even my children in absentia, they are in school. But I love you so much. My fans who are watching me, continue watching me, continue subscribing to my channel. And I would love to appreciate even more say who made it that I come to this place today. And also, I would love to greet my sit-up members. I felt like sit-up gone. I love you so much. I know you are watching me. May God bless you and some of you for being mentors to me. That's why I'm here today so that I can propagate this gospel of God to many people so that we can populate heaven and the populate hell. So may God bless you. You can find me on YouTube, Dorica K. Dorica K is D-O-R-C-A-H. And then K. And in YouTube, you'll find me as Dorica K. That's where you can find me. May God bless you all as we get blessed with the music. Thank you. I love how you appreciated your husband. It's amazing. It's amazing in this age and era. Thank you so much. Do not touch that dial. More is coming back right up.
