In The Music

Quite frankly we don’t always listen to
Kirk Franklin and all the Holy Spirit inspired music in our privacy,
Because we are so radio-active and the secular music reduces our half life because
It leads us into sin and the wages of sin is death. Slow death like a cancer and radio-therapy is not the cure.
But while we are playing it in our heads, we no longer make melody in our hearts. Turning what used to be His tunes to iTunes, tuning in to frequencies that glory in the CLASSIC self and sex, calling in to bring issues we should channel to the cross but let’s face it...

There’s a song on radio for your every emotion and the devil 98.4% of the times CAPITALizes on this, when you are EASIly swayed by a KISS from your HOT, UPTOWN HOMEBOY, usually after you realize your GHETTO boy is not the ONE for you, making him your X when all the while you would have tuned in to the HOPE and TRUTH we have when Christ is the head of the FAMILY.

We need to FM…I mean, affirm our faith in Him. Didn’t His audience see Him rise to the skies when He ascended? He is on air, so you better listen to Him.
Our God is a musician and here’s proof. He makes the beats out of our hearts that gives us pulse, so His music is life. That is why you decompose when you die. But before you do, press pause and rewind back to the beginning then replay and listen. And if your music does not forward the message of Him who rose above the charts and billboards when He resurrected then you might as well stop and eject and ask Him to put a new song in your heart.

 Because the original record was broken when Adam ate the fruit, so sin is on repeat in our human nature, looped like a noose that’s why death is the climax.
But His rod and staff they comfort me. When I was still a sinner and a G, the rock of ages CLEFt for me. Coz like a discord I needed atonement so that I would be in tune with Him. So now my life is no longer a solo performance because He backs me up, walks with me so His presence is my accompaniment and His grace is abundant for me. My music is for Him only.
So now I implore you to go back to the basics of worship, Psalm 101, sing of His mercy and justice, pursuing clarity of mind and purity of heart. And when they ask you why you sing, tell them the reason why. Tell them the reason why. This is the reason why…
I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free. His eyes on the sparrow. That’s the reason why I sing.

The Work-Out Plan

I heard that change starts with the man in the mirror, but I am in God’s image so I desire to be like the one before the mirror, and the mirror is His word, so I reflect upon it just so I can know who I am

It wasn't long before I realized that who I was was not who He intended me to be.

I needed a makeover.

See I was overweight with sin from eating life with a big spoon

Lived on praise and pride and lies that were like calories 

I didn't sing or dance for Him, was too unfit to, but I moved my head back and forth to music manufactured in Satan’s kitchen, so that when the tune kept ringing in my mind I picked up the cholesterol that it left in my system.

I became so obese that I could no longer run the race nor keep the faith, my blood vessels so narrowed that His blood could no longer flow through me
And then I got a heart attack, forgot He is my best defense

It’s like we have a systemic problem but only treat parts where symptoms are exhibited.

Jesus is patient with us, but that doesn't mean He's sick coz He hails as healer.

But we the sick seek cure from quarks

Mix pure with works

Absent of faith so Satan’s heat melts us like wax,

And we still want to be the light of the world? That doesn't come by singing

“Jesus walks” but by walking the talk.

And that’s when I began to WORK OUT my salvation with fear and trembling
Fitness to run with endurance the race that has been set before us and X, I mean the cross marks the spot, so I run focusing on the finish line, I mean the finisher of our faith.

See, He gave Himself to death so that we could warm up to Him,
To guard our heart with all diligence for it is the well spring of life.

We need to get on a strict diet, watch what we eat, I mean feed our minds with lest we become overweight, I mean burdened with sin.

So every morning I jog my memory with verses, feeding on His word for it is the bread of life.

I do my PUSH ups, I mean I pray until something happens,

Not giving up the fellowship of brethren because it is my gym where we encourage one another even as the day of the finals, I mean the final day approaches.
You can only be crowned if you compete by the rules. This here is my work out plan.
If you see me looking fit, go tell everybody that I am like God’s secret because He has kept me.

Kept me on track and lifted me over the hurdles. This race is for the crown that does not perish.

Therefore I urge you to run, not with uncertainty, to fight, not as one who beats the air,

But to discipline your body and bring it into subjection, lest when you have preached to others, you yourselves become disqualified!
