Da Word... 208! Da Model!


Another chill day and homie had to take a cold shower this morning!  That will wake you up with a quickness!  MHMMM!  It's almost instant, heh heh.  Lots going on today, should be fun.  By the way, looks like the economy is headed for a recession this year.... soooo drop some prayers for our country.  A lot of people may lose their jobs due to the recession eating away at many a company's monetary stability.  Pray that the storm that is coming and has already come can be weathered and that those families bearing the brunt will be held up by Pops.  Aight, on to... da Word!

checkit:

Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.
- John ( 1 John 2:6 )

That's right!  That's what I'm talking about it!  Role models kid, mhmmm!  We all have them.  We pick them as we grow up, rotate hrough them, change them, and more.  There is always someone we are looking up to and attempting to emulate or learn from in some capacity.  But who, my friends, is your ultimate role model? Well, if you claim to be living in God, your answer can only be one.... Da Christ son!!!!!!!

Think about it, there are PLENTY of kats walkin' around straight posing.  They are loud too! They sport the God gear, they say a lot of Godly things, and they like to represent in the spotlight.  But how do they walk?  Does their walk reflect their words?  More importantly, does their walk reflect kingdom principles?  Does their walk reflect Christ?  NO!  A lot of them are deep and heavy into things that say the complete OPPOSITE..... POSERS!   And they live the life of humongous loser.

Naw my friends, someone who is living in Pops above has a life that emulates da Christ.  Such a person walks as Christ walks.  Yo, Christ is the ILLEST role model!  I mean, homie is more than a role model, but as a role model he is the BEST you could ever pick!  Why?  His integrity was bullet proof.  Homie was mad powerful even demons trembled at the mere mention of his name!  Institutions of men were afraid of him; they could not tango with this man in any aspect!  Homeboy could whip any person in a debate, and yet not crush their spirit but inspire them.  He had MAD friends!  He also had at least 12 very very close and intimate friendships that were more deep and real than any almost all of us can claim to ever have had.  Homie was a mover and shaker; he upset balance and did not live by the status quo.  He was a leader, an innovator, a revolutionary, a motivator, and an agent of change.  This kat turned the world upside down!  Yo, he still impacts the world even TODAY.  He so inspired deep friendship and loyalty that peeps willingly stood up for him and would die for him... and still die for him.  Da Christ could not be shaken.  He didn't trample others to better his position.  Naw, he brought peeps with him!  He wasn't selfish or self-seeking, and yet tremendously powerful and effective. He was uber efficient.  He always had a plan and everything he did had a profound purpose.  Christ is da friggin' bomb kid!

I could go on and on and on, but I'll stop there, heh heh.  If we walk like Christ, we could be like that!  Imagine the impact we will have on the world! If Christ is our role model, yo we will enhance those aspects of our humanity that will reveal the wonders of life to us in ways we have never known.  Brothers and sisters, by emulating Christ, we will be the most powerful and effective person in our respective fields.  The combination of the characteristics of Christ coupled with the specific gifts God has given each and every one of us is a recipe for something you can't possibly keep a lid on.  It's powerful, and it will blow your mind.   But most importantly my friends, if we claim to be living in God, our walk has to reflect that.  The only way to do it is to walk as Christ did.  And walking as Christ does is the best decision one could ever make.  So, let's get to steppin'!  And then prepare yourself for the ride of a lifetime.

G-bless,
