Subject: Rapper turned pastor and now t'd rapper |
Bible Note: Greetings in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ. Thank you EdB and JCrichton for your inputs. our LORD Jesus Christ richly bless you. I pondered on this all day has a follower of our LORD Jesus Christ for about 2 years. I have been saved for over 3 years its just during the past 2 years I been a true follower of our LORD Jesus Christ. While I was in the church then (before I became a devout follower of Christ) I still had one foot in the world doing all the what nots clubbing, girls, sex etc. My friends then didn’t seem to mind because to them nothing had changed apart from oh yea I cant make it today im going church. Cut the long story short when our LORD Jesus Christ permitted trials into my life looking back I now realise the damage, the whipping and the shame I brought to our Master LORD Jesus Christ. Now I still have loads of friends in the world and since I became a true follower of our LORD Jesus Christ and denying all fleshly lusts and stopped all that I used to do through the grace of our LORD Jesus Christ. Whenever I try and minister or try and meet up with my so called friend (at the gym, tennis) its a different ball game now they have truly seen the difference and any opportunity they have to say anything against the body of Christ or when I say something out offline that contradicts something through my ignorance they are quick to jump on my throat and say we Christians are all liars and hypocrites, they tell me that this change iv become will not last and I will comeback to my old ways etc. I have realised through the Word that I had to cut off most of my friends before they polluted me all I do now is phone them occasionally and minister the Word to them and pray for them all the time in my prayers. I do not know what our LORD Jesus Christ intends with this pastor but we have to go back and look at what the WORD of our LORD Jesus Christ says in the bible. The Holy Spirit brought me into remembrance with Moses and Paul. The Word of our LORD Jesus Christ says that Moses forsook his privileges in the courts of pharaoh in Egypt when he knew his brethren. The Word (bible) didn’t say he then went back into pharaoh court and tried to convince pharaoh and the Egyptians that what they were doing to the Israelites was wrong while having a glass of wine or cup of tea with them at the same time. When Paul got converted the Word of our LORD Jesus Christ said he immediately started preaching that our LORD Jesus Christ is LORD of all and KING of kings the bible didn’t say afterwards he went back to the Pharisees, put up his feet and discussed that he saw our LORD Jesus Christ and He told him why are you persecuting me etc. Using my self as an example my friend don’t see me anymore coming out with them and doing what they do and still proclaiming I was a follower of our LORD Jesus Christ. When I used to do that I was not a testimony more of a shame to the body of Christ and I didn’t realise it. I hardly have any friends (secular friends that is) now every time I see them I tell them all what our LORD Jesus Christ wants to do for them and that eternal life has been brought free of charge by the blood of the Lamb and they just need to receive it. I believe all we followers of our LORD Jesus Christ need to start praying because this pastor turned rapper again as a huge, huge youth following. May I say that I love the art of rap and I now choose what I listen to carefully but when I hear all the swearing and what not I just turn it off or switch it somewhere else? I don’t know what answer I would give a non-believer who asks me about this pastor? Any advice or suggestions are very welcome Gab |
