Unsuitable Training for Greater Means

Posted by Joy T.J. Riley on May 11, 2011 at 11:18pm
Acts 7:21-22
21 When he was placed outside, Pharaoh’s daughter took him and brought him up as her own son. 22 Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action.

The context of Stephen's speech to the Sanhedrin was filled with the history of the Jewish people. His point was about making the distinction between Judaism and Christianity. But within the content of the speech, he talks about one that God loved and befriended. Moses was a prophet and leader who had the humbling honor to be directly in the presence of God. His meeting God at the burning bush turned his hair white. But Moses didn't start where he ended. God works with the end in mind. So everything we encounter in our lives is a stepping stone no matter how big or how small. Moses for his own safety was given up. But God knew what he was doing. In order to use Moses to defeat an evil later, he had to let Moses live and learn the ways. He was studying unknowingly for a role that exceeded his present circumstances.  Ah yes, Moses was brought up as one with Egyptian blood but he was not their descendant. Moses was the spokesman for God's people upon their deliverance. He was being trained all along for the greatest role of his life. He wasn't going to learn how to speak with power and authority among slaves.

The Lord can use any situation as training ground for our future, including one that doesn't seem suitable to the naked eye. The Lord has taken many a man and woman from a life that was filled with destruction and turned them into great leaders for him. Not only is it a witness of his ability to change a heart which is the greatest miracle, but often that same training ground is the territory in which God has them to do His work. Why not? There are no accidents in God. For everything is done with purpose. We do not know his ways so we often miss the little pieces of the puzzle because they insignificant to us. Moses had no idea that he was being prepared for the greatest role of his life. It came in the form of being given away and raised among those that actually enslaved his people. How has God used your past roles and situations? How is God using your current situation to train you? Only he knows the end but no piece of the puzzle is insignificant. Nothing is unsuitable for training in God's eyes. Our loving father will train by any means necessary.

P.S. Join me this Saturday, May 14th for the book signing event at John 3:16 Christian Bookstore in Lanham, MD from 1-4pm.  The address is 7953 Annapolis Road, Lanham, MD 20706. The phone number is 301.459.5999.

The Hard Way

Posted by Joy T.J. Riley on May 10, 2011 at 10:07pm
Psalm 25:9
9 He guides the humble in what is right
   and teaches them his way.

Ever notice that those who are easily taught actually desire to be taught? In order to be taught anything, one has to acknowledge that there is still much learning needed. David acknowledged his sin and the protection he needed from his enemies in the psalm. David was aware that he knew nothing apart from the Lord. For that is how Jesus said we must be, "as a child" in our learning. Children soak up information like a sponge. Children want to learn all there is to learn. Unfortunately as adults, we have a problem. We associate our age with wisdom. Age does not guarantee wisdom, only God does. We must be willing to throw away what "we know" and learn what God wants us to know.  It is much easier on us when we are willing to admit to God that we need him. When we don't, we create more havoc because then we have to learn "the hard way". Learning "the hard way" means like the prodigal son we must be left to our own devices for a time and run in a circle before we realize that the path God desired for us was actually the best path. We will learn one way or the other but "the hard way" just hurts more.

35 Young Men Saved in Jail!

Posted by Word Life Cafe on May 9, 2011 at 6:21pm

As part of a team of guys from Rock City Church, Baltimore, MD, this past Friday, I had the opportunity to go into the Baltimore City Detention Center where they keep the worst case kids that will have to be tried as adults even though they are under 18 and they will have to go to trial at some point for an adult sentence to be placed upon them. We went in there with my man Show (a.k.a. M.O.G. Showtime) and Testimony, and they tore it down!

 

There were a total of 54 boys in front of us, and by the end of the night 35 were born again! You would never know they did crimes as heinous as murdering possibly more than one person, had been in gangs (bloods, crips, etc) or that they had done things that were so bad they had to be tried as adults when they go to court. Most of them are awaiting a trial date to be convicted and many will be going to the "adult" population once they turn 18, but guess what...

 

We were the FIRST to go into that place and minister to the youth!! That's MAJOR!

 

If you could've seen the looks on those young men's faces: The boyish desire to be noticed, recognized, built up, shown love and attention, and a degree of affection from a male, father or brother figure for them, which was so great and so evident. Kids wanted to show me their talents in singing, rapping, etc. One asked me if I could help him get a job after he got out.

 

It was just a powerful moment!

 

Listen, if any of you know of a resource to help kids like this get a fresh start even with a criminal background, when / if they are able to get out, please contact me at wordlifecafe@gmail.com. We need to talk ASAP! My heart goes out to them. I wanted to cry when I saw some of them, but I remained strong for them, though inside I wanted to cry to some degree. With the overwhelming emotion of joy that I felt when they gave their lives to Christ (I, Norman Brown, personally led about 8 or 9 to Christ), I guess that overpowered the tears on the inside (mixture of joy and sadness).

 

God is great! I believe that many of these kids will be able to go free one day, but I believe that we must stay consistent in their lives to keep them on fire for God and hopeful of their future.

 

I am looking for QUALITY, ANOINTED, MALE artists (as they will not allow us to bring females there) to join me in this effort. Again, please, contact me ASAP! We will be going back again in this month of May and plan to continue twice a month.

EASOP BIOGRAPHY

 

 

The "Tupac" of his genre. This is how both fans and peers have described Easop. While that is a bold statement given the legend and influence of the late Tupac Shakur, one listen to the sound of Easop's voice, mixed with his style and delivery you'll understand why. His baritone voice and aggressive, captivating style has carved out a unique sound like his GOD given name. Easop is a man of faith, and it clearly comes across in his music. He doesn't rap about life's excesses, bling, money, or women, but rather shares his faith, views on life mixed with street realities, which blend perfectly to produce what Easop likes to call "Street Gospel"

Born in his native San Francisco and raised by his great aunt Easop had a modest upbringing. Easop grew up in the inner city where like most young men who come up in this environment was exposed to the lure of drugs, gangs, and exposed to violence. He managed to escape most of these pitfalls for the most part by participating in athletics, but as he grew older the pull became a lot stronger resulting in him selling drugs and carrying guns. But there was a much greater call in this young mans life and he answered the call before it was too late unlike so many other young men.

Easop has always had a passion for music. His influences are artist from all genres of music including rap, pop, blues, rock, soul, etc. So he would blend this passion with his new found faith and start an independent record label called Life or Death Records in 1997. Easop immediately saw the impact his music had on youth and young adults and would release his first album "The Time Has Come" in the fall 0f 2000. Easop show's his diversity with tracks such as, "Somebody Loves You" to the albums single, "Out Tha Box". "Somebody Loves You", details the story of a young man who felt no one loved him, while, "Out Tha Box" is an in your face introduction to who Easop is. The follow up to this album would be a group project he was a part of called "The END". Easop has earned the respect of many for his brand of music and has been called a pioneer in the Bay Area in his genre of music. He also was one of the first artist to receive an award at the annual Holy Hip-Hop Music Awards held every year in Atlanta in 2001 for his work in music.

Easop has appeared on local, regional, and syndicated radio shows across the country. He has amassed a following from his music, music videos, and touring from the east to west coast and even internationally in the UK. A writer from the San Francisco Examiner newspaper found his company and music so interesting that Easop was featured on the front page of the bay area section of the newspaper. Major League baseball player Ryan Freel who plays for the Chicago Cubs also became a fan of Easop upon hearing his music and selected Easop's "Out Tha Box" song as his at-bat theme song when he comes to the plate in the 2009 baseball season. Easop sees himself as not only an artist but also a businessman. His vision is for his company LOD Music to be a leader and brand you can remember when it comes to urban gospel for years and generations to come. In the words of Easop, "I'm just getting started".
