IM NOT MY CLOTHES......


Who should we send to preach the word of God? Who is fit to represent the King? A couple of minutes ago I was bopping my head to 'Not 2 late mommy' by This'l. This'l is true ambassador of Christ, He preaches the word of God through his profound lyrical content, he's not ashamed to share his testimony to the masses, he is a true man of God. This'l is a rapper, not another Nas. lil wayne etc. But a man who is mean with a mic, His lyrics are soaked with biblical references, his lyrics are up lifting and relevant. So I go back to my question, who should preach the Gospel? Is it only the man who is clad in a Dolche and gabbana suit is worth enough to preach to the masses???or is it the man who holds a Doctoral degree in theology? You see, the church has its stereotypes. If you don't look a certain way then you are considered abnormal?\sinner. If a man walks into church clad in a Fitted cap, sagging jeans, throwback jersey and braids...he is without a doubt a SINNER! I'm tired of people judging one another, tired of people labeling people because of what a person is rockin'. Its sad how 'religious ' folks behave towards one another...and yet we profess we are christians...how sad! Ne ways, back to my point (again), Jesus chose a couple of fishermen to go minister the Gospel, yes fishermen!!! These men probably smelled like fish, looking all draped up in their attire...but still Jesus called them...chose them to be His soon- to -be- elite followers. Oh how great is the Love of my God...looks beyond, race, colour, clothing....!!! Why cant the church show such unconditional love to other people?! Why do we love to segregate and create rules and regulations to divide the body of Christ?! Jesus was a Jew, yet He rolled with the beggar, the lame, the fishermen, the prostitute....! My Gosh, we don't find that kind of evangelism these days, we are so quick to cast stones at someone who may look a bit different from us, we don't approach people with love anymore...but we are so eager to squash the esteem of another person making them feel less than and unworthy. So, who should really minster the Gospel?, Those who are pure in heart, those who have studied and examined the life of Christ! There are more but those I hold to be the core qualities.

So, to all my christian rappers who are holding it down for the Lord, to my evangelist who are roaming the streets and preaching the TRUTH, to all those who may not be clad in a suits with ties BUT still 'souled'(stole this from lecrae's song souled out) out for the Lord Jesus Christ...remain on the battle field for Christ and keep your heads up....PRESS ON WARRIORS!And to all those who are judgmental and Shallow minded..please carefully examine the life of Christ carefully and pray that God will teach you to walk in unity and love with the believers of Christ.

Nuff love,

Geek Of Theology.
