One of Femi's favorite quotes is:"I took you from the ends of the earth,
from its farthest corners I called you.
I said, âYou are my servantâ;
I have chosen you and have not rejected you.
So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
âAll who rage against you
will surely be ashamed and disgraced;
those who oppose you
will be as nothing and perish.
Though you search for your enemies,
you will not find them.
Those who wage war against you
will be as nothing at all.
For I am the LORD your God
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you. Isaiah 41:9-13
12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand,
or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens?
Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket,
or weighed the mountains on the scales
and the hills in a balance?
13 Who can fathom the Spirit of the LORD,
or instruct the LORD as his counselor?
14 Whom did the LORD consult to enlighten him,
and who taught him the right way?
Who was it that taught him knowledge,
or showed him the path of understanding?
15 Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket;
they are regarded as dust on the scales;
he weighs the islands as though they were fine dust.
16 Lebanon is not sufficient for altar fires,
nor its animals enough for burnt offerings.
17 Before him all the nations are as nothing;
they are regarded by him as worthless
and less than nothing.
18 With whom, then, will you compare God?
To what image will you liken him?
19 As for an idol, a metalworker casts it,
and a goldsmith overlays it with gold
and fashions silver chains for it.
20 A person too poor to present such an offering
selects wood that will not rot;
they look for a skilled worker
to set up an idol that will not topple.
21 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood since the earth was founded?
22 He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,
and its people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,
and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
23 He brings princes to naught
and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.
24 No sooner are they planted,
no sooner are they sown,
no sooner do they take root in the ground,
than he blows on them and they wither,
and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.
25 âTo whom will you compare me?
Or who is my equal?â says the Holy One.
26 Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:
Who created all these?
He who brings out the starry host one by one
and calls forth each of them by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength,
not one of them is missing.
27 Why do you complain, Jacob?
Why do you say, Israel,
âMy way is hidden from the LORD;
my cause is disregarded by my Godâ?
28 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint. -- Isaiah 40:12-31, NIV Bible
25 âTherefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
28 âAnd why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was...Expand for more
dressed like one of these.
30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe youâyou of little faith?
31 So do not worry, saying, âWhat shall we eat?â or âWhat shall we drink?â or âWhat shall we wear?â
32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. -- Mathew 6:25-34 NIV Bible
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. -- Phillipians 4:13 KJV Bible
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
2 âGo down to the potterâs house, and there I will give you my message.â
3 So I went down to the potterâs house, and I saw him working at the wheel.
4 But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him.
5 Then the word of the LORD came to me.
6 He said, âCan I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does?â declares the LORD. âLike clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, Israel.
7 If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down and destroyed,
8 and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned.
9 And if at another time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be built up and planted,
10 and if it does evil in my sight and does not obey me, then I will reconsider the good I had intended to do for it. - Jeremiah 18:1-10
"...F**k it, F**k it let's strictly go pop, do anything for tha women while misrepresentin' ya block, you can be famous in public wit' tha right music and subject, you can make millions n***a, IF YOU JUST MAKE A MILLION OF IT..." -- Devin the Dude
"...Like a homeless person wit' a sign, I would work for food, ain't no shame in bein' helpless its a part of payin' dues..." -- Z-Ro (THE REALEST MC OF ALL TIME!!!! next to 2-Pac, of course)
"...Fancy cars and a mansion, that ain't never been my goal, A hooptie would be fine, plus, somewhere warm when its cold..." -- Z-Ro
"...N***a you Black Smile 4 me now..." -- Tupac Shakur
"Poo-Cheese" - Pipe
"How YOU doin?!" - Raspushia from Norbit
"¿Um, qué pasó... er... Guacamole?... ¿Mami? - Me
"All that one is or has become is a result of the path he or she has traveled throughout their life. Ideologies and paradigms are built, torn down and re-established for the sake of a growing mind, and so long that that mind remains open to the rebuilding process, true learning never ceases. Usually, the rebuilding process is a light renovation; an idea here, a belief there. But this opportunity I am now presented with offers to demolish the housing of my mind and rebuild it into something more; and I cannot wait to move in." - Me".
More about Femi:"I am a vessel, once empty and broken,
Made anew by the Masterâs hands,
Every move I make and word that is spoken,
Is done to fulfill His holy plan,
Donât be deceived, I do nothing by myself,
Every step is guided,
Striving to be one with the Father,
A house undivided,
So as you listen to this music, and all that I say,
Know it is not mine alone,
It is the ministry Iâve been given, my story, and my song,
Till I reach my heavenly home,
I will not claim to be one of the greatest,
Or the best youâll ever see,
But with certainty and authority I say this,
God moves inside of me,
So understand this if nothing at all,
God is more than just your shelter,
Heâs the everything in every season,
The most potent brew in lifeâs wine cellar,
I am Aservant, and am very literally what my name sounds like. My real name is irrelevant, the only one I pray that you remember after listening to my ministry through music is Jesus the Christ. I do enjoy the accolades, and the praises, and the complements, and I encourage you all to continue to lift me up and support me in any way you can. Yet my focus still remains on the One that brought me here and carries me even now. Whatever youâre going through God is able, trust Him wholeheartedly, depend on Him even in the roughest of storms, grow a relationship with Him of love and sincerity and watch how He will deliver you time and time again. My ministry is to aid you in realizing that relationship. I am nothing more; nothing but a servant.".
