Divine Mathematics

I'm a music lover and for a long time I've been critical of Jamaican music, namely Gospel Reggae/Dancehall. Why? I felt like we weren't putting out our best. When I think of how most (if not all) our dancehall artiste do single upon single before releasing an album, yet a Jamaican Gospel Artiste has several albums in no time, I get peeved.

I believe that as Kingdom people we should always do our best. I know walking the good walk is easier said than done (thank God for the Holy Spirt) but I'm always challenged by these 2 passages of scripture:

I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. (Matt.10:16 - NIV)

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. (Col.3:23-24 - NIV)

While watching Religious Heart Talk some time ago I was glad to know that the culture was changing. Dj Nicholas mentioned that they try to use the best producers and musicians in the industry in an attempt to ensure that the music is of the highest quality. I am pleased to hear this but believe that the ounce is also on the songwriter to deliver the message in a more creative format.

Dj Nicholas has now exemplified this quality in his latest song, Divine Mathematics. The way the song is constructed you hear the biblical undercurrent, he uses a refrain and a rhyme scheme that embodies the mathematical concept. I'm not sure I like the words of the hook, but it's a hook.

Overall I'm proud and wish Dj Nicholas all the best. May the Lord continue to give him and those around him an new vision and 'marketing strategy' to impact today's world and our young people.

'A Israel weh seh!'

Listen to the words of this song and let me know what you think...

Camel or Mule...which are you?

Some time ago I had to prepare a small group study so I started doing some research which lead me to a Jewish idiom. This all started because I had dinner with Messianic Jew and he was speaking about giving with a good eye (another Jewish idiom) - Ten Be-ayin Tovah.

"Any-who!" I digress...back to the camel and the needle eye. In St. Matthew 19:24 Jesus says "...it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." In Sunday School I was told that this was a place in the middle east (during Jesus' time) and that was that. I've come to understand that this (needle eye) was a gate the merchants and travelers would have to use when the came to a city/town during the night, since the main gate would have been closed.

Now to get the camel through this gate; the eye of the needle, you would have to take off all the baggage and have the camel come through on its knees. If your camel was not mistreated this wouldn't be such a difficult task. So what was Jesus saying?

He's saying that the camel quicker come to it's knees, loose it's baggage and go through the eye of a needle than we would humbly approach the throne of God, seeking to become enlisted as citizens of His kingdom.

Some how understanding this Jewish saying has made me appreciate this scripture more and I want to be at a place where I (without hesitation) constantly approach the throne of my King.

Are you as stubborn as a mule or a camel...? Selah
