The Egyptians You See Today




Here I am seated and afraid of my own thoughts, I am running tired. Basically I have been on the same spot for too long and I have no idea what lies next. People say I should take a leap but then I don’t even have strength for the lift, so I am seated, wondering. How much of the uncertainty can I take? How much more can I give? Here I am wondering...

Here I am standing, looking over my shoulders and staring at the shadows trying to catch up with me. Oh, I know, I read it when He said, even when I walk through the valley and all around me is the shadow of death that I should fear no evil but see, the thing is, I don’t know how not to fear, so here I am standing, asking you to teach me, Teach me not to be afraid.


Here I am bent over, I have tried to be strong for too long but I have come in total surrender. Life has pushed me to my knees and I was told that I fight best on my knees, so I am here asking you to take the wheels and help me face this storm; I touch the sky every time my knees hit the ground. I am here asking that you help me find strength in you. Yes here I am on bended knees, saying prayers and hoping you hear them as you always do. I am here on bended knees, knowing you can help me win.




Here I am with hands lifted high, I feel stronger, I feel helped, I am inspired by the Spirit to push on for another day, I have direction, Yes I know what to do. I am helped. My fears are replaced by faith; my worries are turned to praise. I am going in for the fight, victorious! My faith stretches through the skies. My fear is the springboard from which I take the leap, I am all that I can be, No longer afraid. I am empowered.


In my moments of uncertainty, I have learned to articulate my thoughts to God as plainly as I can, I cannot even hide my scars from him. I am a runner most times, I drift sometimes but one  thing I learn consistently is to trust Him.

I may not always be able to trace Him but I can consistently trust Him, I can reach beyond my stand of uncertainty and clap my hand not in despair but in victory for I know He has won these battles for me.




Remember, You are eternally loved. You are eternally covered, no matter what life throws at you, God got you on lockdown, he is never going to give you up to destruction. God is not vindictive,  He is not a keeper of your sin record. He loves you and He has every detail of your life worked out.




Here I am starting another battle for my faith. Do pray for me and with me.. I believe God’s word over medical reports. FAITH IS MY EVIDENCE.

NF Releases New Track 'Green Lights'

Image
"Three records,  three years I don't like to waste time. " the impassioned rapper spits on his new track "Green Lights." Indeed it's only been two weeks since Nate released the song "Outro" also presumably off his forthcoming album. Whilst "Outro" followed in the style of "Intro 2" and "Intro" before it,  chronicling where NF is at in his life at a given time. "Green Lights" is a song about confidence,  feeling as though there is nothing that stands in one's way. The track is certainly catchy and is classic NF. However with "Motivated" and "Statement" already under his belt and dealing with almost the same subject matter, this might prove to be three songs in three years-three much. Check out the video here  NF-Green Lights (Video)

Tasha Cobbs Feat. Nicki Minaj: Are Xtians Overreacting?

Image
 When 'Break Every Chain' singer Tasha Cobbs Leonard announced that she would be releasing her new album and that it will feature secular artist Nicki Minaj a lot of holy eyebrows were raised.  Now after the songs release many are sceptical, some outright offended, and a handful even have conspiracy theories (Behold The Illuminati is Everywhere!) The song itself titled 'I'm Getting Ready' is more of the usual fare, the "No Frauds" rappers feature though has made it something of an anomaly. But let's not get into the fact that Fred Hammond featured Snoop Dogg, Lecrae featured Ty Dollar Sign and on and on (so it's no surprise really, these Christian /Secular features.) Let's talk about how insecure Christians make themselves look when they communicate the fear that the secular will taint or overwhelm the gospel. Why can't it be the other way around? In the Old Testament God forbade the Israelites from living among and co-existing

Christian Leaders on The White Supremacists March

Image
Photo by Steve Helber/ AP The United States of America has had a rough couple of days. Things she would rather not think about and all together deny marched through the streets of Charlottesville, Virginia on Saturday the 12th of August. White supremacist are as the name suggest those who believe in the superiority of the Caucasian over other races. It's political implications are that since White is better, White should rule a la slave trade and black subjugation. In recent history the movement was considered dead or ailing, until it marched hundreds of men strong chanting 'Unite the right.' Being the light of the world, some Christian leaders have spoken out against this uprising, whilst some have (surprisingly?) kept mum. Senior Pastor of The Potters House TD Jake's appears not to be living in the same America where this incident took place. He is yet to publicly comment on the issue, but it is expected that when pressed for his opinion it would certainly

Joel Osteen Under Fire For Allegedly Refusing to Help Hurricane Victims (Reaction)

Image
Hurricane Harvey which swept through the Houston area of America and took lives and displaced families has also placed Lakewood Church head pastor Joel Osteen at the center of a social media crisis. The 54 year old Preacher with the 'perpetual smile' came under fire when he refused to admit displaced persons into his facility which houses 54, 000 persons a week for services. Claims of being unable to do so due to flooding and counter claims of deception began to float through the social mediascape causing the author of Your Best Life Now   to trend on twitter and not in a good way. Even though the  latest reports  say the Church may finally be opening it's doors,  twitter is still not pleased. As one detractor states below It is fascinating to watch how the world (Christians included) pounces on a public figure after he makes a real (or imagined) mistake. The twitter mob was up early today ready to burn the Preacher at the stake,  citing him as a fraud, a false pr

Christian Rapper Lecrae Set to Perform Alongside Big Sean and 2Chains

They rappin in a bubble can't nobody see they face' rapped Lecrae in 2015 on former label mate KB's single 'Sideways'. Now two years later its safe to say that the rappers bubble has gone pop as the 'Christian who raps' is set to perform alongside mainstream artistes like Big Sean, 2Chains, Steve Aoki and Gucci Mane at this year's Ubahn festival. The event which is set to take place in a tunnel underground and feature live artwork installations, skateboarding demonstrations, vendors and other interactive delights, is scheduled for September 8 and 9, not long before Lecraes #ATWT tour kicks off. The event is no doubt a landmark for the artiste who has long since shown his desire to break out of the restrictive label of being a 'Christian rapper'. While this will certainly raise a number of eyebrows among die hard Christian fans of his, it is undeniable that Lecras is taking the message where it is most needed. After all, no one lights a ca
