Tasha Cobbs and Nicky Minaj work together

A gospel artist,succcessfully dragged a secular artist to do a gospel song and Christians are the ones Complaining,what a world.

Do you know how many of Nicki's fans,who will be exposed to Tasha's ministry and possibly recieve Jesus afterwards?

Did you think that this might be GOD's 1st step to return Nicki back to his kingdom?

Just before you get really lost in your ideology of Christianity, Jonah who was the same disobedient person was sent to preach repentance?

When the Isrealites were beaten in the bush by snakes,GOD told Moses to make a Serpent and put it up,that they might get healed and the Bible went on in JOHN 3v14 to explain that the serpent was JESUS being lifted up(type and shadows).

Peter who was fresh in the sin of denying JESUS(which humanly speaking can be recorded as betrayal,exactly what Judas did),was handed the ministry of JESUS.

Have you thought that why will Moses's rod become a serpent knowing that the serpent was responsible for the fall of man.

Don't box GOD,remember Tasha Cobbs has a pastor and she would have thought this through with her pastor and prayed about it.

That you don't understand somebody's assignment doesnt mean their assignment is inferior.

"Christians" are meant to be the soap in the world,so why run from dirt.Get in there and clean things up.

We are fishers of men,and as a fisherman,you're required to use a bait..This is her bait.

QUIT BEING CRITICAL AND PRAY FOR WISDO AND UNDERSTANDING.

GOD works in the most unlikely ways.

My Pastor was a cult boy i was an unbeliever also,if CHRISTIANs didnt come close to us we would have remained unbelievers.

A venom today can become a syrup tomorrow.
The syrup that treats snake bite it gotten from the venom of the snake that kills.

Think deep.
