Beyonce came out with an album without any warning which was genius. She totally went against the grain of sales, advertisement, and marketing. How Beyonce went about this was totally groundbreaking for the 21st century. This type of strategy has not been done since the 60's. However, someone will do something greater only if they think outside the box. I think Jay-Z and Beyonce's partnership is a great business plan and has caused them to expand what success looks like. Jay-Z has definitely upgraded Beyonce and vice versa; and this is from a business perspective. I love how paparazzi paints a picture of love, fun, and prosperity for the world to see Jay-Z and Beyonce. I find it interesting that Barack and Michelle Obama seem to mentor the marriage of Jay-Z and Beyonce. I do not believe Jay-Z and Beyonce will ever divorce like many of the Hollywood pseudo-relationships.
I do not consider myself a hater of any winner! Winners or individuals that are winning are people that are at the top of their game such as T.D. Jakes, Joel Osteen, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Tavis Smiley, Rev. Al Sharpton, Tyler Perry and many more. People consistently and normally hate on "winners." What is hating? What I call "hating" is when someone who is not winning disrespects a "winner" because of envy, jealousy, insecurity, and hatred. Often, these individuals that are hating are attempting to make a name for themselves or not, finding it hard to progress and win and normally sufferers of low self-esteem.
I will never talk about T.D. Jakes because I have the attitude of the apostle Paul. "Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from good-will: The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains; but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel. What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice." (Philippians 1.15-18). Many popular preachers preach a different Christ that I sometimes find myself to be unfamiliar with, and few preach the Christ I am familiar with. And overall, some do not preach Christ at all!
What does this have to do with Beyonce? From the very little I've heard, Beyonce made an album of sexually charged lyrics that exposes her sexual desires for her husband. I am glad Beyonce is married and loves to have sex with her husband. I am married as well, and LOVE the intimate encounters my wife and I experience. However, I believe the Holy of Holies is a sacred place where a worshiper does not have to always disclose the intimate experiences that are shared between the worshiper and Jesus Christ. Jesus said when you pray, and I am summarizing His point, go into a secret place to pray. In other words, do not go out into the streets flaunting prayer words. There is a principle behind what Jesus is saying. Jesus is saying, "the relationship I have with you is ultimately between you and I (Jesus Christ). What goes on in the secret place or prayer closet, which is ultimately your heart, should be between you and I."
The secret place is a place of high level intimacy involving high level passion. We must be watchful when people stand up and testify about their experiences with God. Many times, it is done from a spirit of boasting attempting to make it seem as if they are more "spiritually endowed" than others. This is immature behavior and these individuals should be sat down, taught about timing and prayed for as well. In addition, these individuals must understand that Jesus did compare the least to the greatest and what He resolved was the greatest was the least. Meaning, the person who does not crave attention, boast, and attempts to flaunt blessing over those that do not seem, from the outer appearance to be blessed, is the greatest of these because he/she is the least.
The servant is the least of these. If you saw the movie entitled, the Butler, there were some rules the Butler had to adhere to when in the room of the elite. He must remain quiet at all times unless a request is made known. Even when a request was made, very few words must be spoken and normally those words were, "yes and no sir" and "yes and no mam."
Many immature prophets blurt out everything God says to them without mastering and understanding the art of timing. Even musicians know that timing is essential to the beauty of some sort of "fill-in" or "chop." Even D.J.'s know when to change the environment from an 80's mix to a 21st century mix.
Ok, back to Beyonce! Beyonce has indirectly and directly ministered topics from the various sexual positions she gets in, the numerous times sex is experienced with her husband, to the size of her husbands phallic potential calling it a "Big Ego." I love music and listen to different genres of music and I respect the art. However, I have a problem with unrealistic descriptions of Jesus Christ. Yeezus is the not Christ! Most married couples know, especially those with small children, do not have sex numerous times a day. In addition, those men out there who struggle with their genetically endowed phallic potential should read what SEX EXPERTS say about size. Porn is unrealistic; take it from me I know! And the message Beyonce is ministering to her worshipers is unrealistic!
Let's put this in perspective. Beyonce is at the top of the charts in hits, sales, and best songs. Jay-Z is a winner. Do you really believe winners have that much sex? First off, they are never home, more than often away from their spouse and children, extremely tired, and always about the dollar. My short list does not even scratch the surface of the stress they encounter, which will impede the desire to have sex. So this is my question: Why do people dislike fake and phony people so much, yet they worship the lyrics and trends of Beyonce? And they do not even know her personally!
I have the answer! I believe she is a goddess! Beyonce is a goddess! But she is not my god! Jesus Christ is my Lord because He is real! He has never said anything unrealistic, never giving me any false impression, and never painted a picture for me that I would not be able to attain, experience, and live with on earth. Jesus is not phony. He is REAL!
I met Christians that love Beyonce more than Jesus! They spend more time listening to the ministry of Beyonce than Jesus! They try their best to look like Beyonce rather than to be formed into the image of Christ! They sing Beyonce's lyrics rather than sing the songs of Christ! They quote more Beyonce lyrics than Jesus' infallible, flawless, perfect, Word!
God had a problem with Israel because they honored, loved, imitated, and patterned themselves after false gods. They were false gods because they lied to the people.
Maybe in the beginning months of marriage, if your really fortunate, will you and your spouse have sex multiple times a day. And that isn't guaranteed nor realistic. If both of you are making over six figures, you may have sex three times a week; especially if you have kids. Even if you are both making a sum of $40,000 a year you really ain't having sex a lot because you are stressed because bills need to get paid. I'm just sayin!
True love does not entertain sex, but entertains intimacy. Beyonce is having sex with Jay-Z, but she rarely talks about their intimacy. Intimacy is different than sex. Intimacy does not worry about positions, size, the amount of times, and seductive outfits with high heel pumps (although I love it when my wife does that for me...) But I do not bang my wife out and Beyonce's lyrics insinuate a bang out session! I am sorry, what Beyonce is describing in her lyrics is not intimacy. 1 Corinthians 13 describes love as not parading itself.
Christians! Who is your Lord? Please do not be deceived! Open your eyes and ears and listen to yourselves talk! Many of you may not like this, but I had to say something because I want the truth of marriage to be discussed and realized.
Those of you who are unmarried and desires to be married must know that marriage is more than a license of grace to partake in sex! Intimacy exceeds and transcends sex. My wife and I do not have sex! We make love....hahahahaha...I am joking....we enjoy intimacy! Intimacy is eternal, people of God. Intimacy is what Christ desires you to have with Him.
I love you in Jesus Christ!
I hope you spread this message I wrote and talk about it within your groups of friends, sororities, fraternities, Bible studies, and etc.....dialogue is always good and if we are afraid to have real conversations, we are not being real!
Blessings to you!
