This year has been rife with ups and downs left and right! As a follower of Christ I am confident that His return is imminent therefore I rojoice even in the passing of one of the most influencial Rap Artists in my lifetime DMX! His riveting flow and remarkable heart for GOD will always be remembered. I even know his unreleased underground stuff like Born Loser that was so deep from a place of depression yet his legacy will always be as the Grand Champ! I was more than a fan of his music and movies growing up and I bought his book E.A.R.L. (Ever Always Real Life) and entered rap battles on his Def Jam website/chatroom. It was heated but my fire burned out the competition: "keep disrespecting me and I'll air out your laundry/ nothing you do harms me I murder cowards calmly."
After college I included a portriate drawing I made of DMX in my book Deeper Than Rhymes next to a poem titled God's MC.
DMX HAD A POWERFUL PRAYER IN HIS ALBUMS AND I IMMITATED HIS VOICE FOR GOD IN MY SPOKEN WORD ALBUM SOULFUL WORDS! CHECK OUT THE PIECE TITLED CONVERSATION WITH GOD:
On that note here's a quote from a bible verse DMX had tatooed on his neck!
“EXODUS 1:7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them.”
Truly we are the children of Israel scattered accross the world from the tribe of JUDAH through West Africa and into America! Prosperity is our portion and a recompense is coming for all the historic injustices done against people of color. "Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head." (Joel 3:7)
"I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel." Isaiah 45:2-3
Part of those treasures that are hidden from us is found through smart investments! I use STASH for the stock market and Robinhood for bitcoin. Acorn is another investment tool anyone can take advantage of! Start now with just a few dollars and watch your money grow over time for your wealth! Of course you should give God His 10% on top of offerings and seek His guidance on how to handle money. Beware of greed!
"For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." 1 Timothy 6:10
"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon." Matthew 6:24
Stash helps me gain ownership of companies I already pay for like streaming services (Disney, Amazon, Netflix) and my Verizon cell phone bill. Also with my stash debit card everywhere I swipe it returns a fraction of ownership in my stock portfolio increasing my passive income making my money work for me! I'm grateful to have worked on so many productions as a Actor (mostly backgrownd) showing my face in crucial scenes! Not everything I've done shows my face but the experience of being on a major production set is still a blessing!
I was in Zamunda just a few feet from Eddie Murphy and his African family on set!
Also I'm in an upcoming film on Amazon Prime called Without Remorse with Michael B Jordan! I was paid SAG background rates for those days but that doesn't include residuals so my investments in streaming services will reap more revenue in the long-run! I have other investments through a website called we-funder (Boaz Bikes, Black Sands, Legion M) geared toward ownership and a steady increase in revenue as these companies grow! There's always risks involved but no fortune is made without taking a chance!
All in all I am blessed and covered by the Blood of Jesus! Yahweh is my one true Master therefore I am an hier with Christ as the Sons of God rise up!
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together."
ROMANS 8:14-17
Never lose hope.
