There have been so many times that I was inspired to either write or speak but held it in. The Divine gave me a message and instead of speaking my truths, I looked around for someone else to speak it for me. To this day some of those messages remain undelivered. This morning, I was reminded that there are times when a message is given to me, for me and is to be delivered by me.
To give you an example of what I’m writing about, I can go as far back as Biblical days with Moses. You see Moses was ‘called’ to speak to Pharaoh. The message he was to deliver was short and the instructions simple….’Let my people go’. Yet, he came up with excuses as to why he should NOT be the one to deliver the message. He was concerned that no one would believe him. He was concerned about the fact that he stuttered and was not an eloquent speaker. He even suggested that God send someone else. Yet God remained God and explained to him that he would allow Aaron, his brother and Miriam, his sister to ‘assist’ him; however, he (Moses) was the chosen messenger. (KJV Exodus 3rd and 4th chapters)
Even today, we still come up with excuses as to why we do not live the lives God has set before us. We have reasons (EXCUSES) as to why we can not deliver the message that has been given to us. We complain that we need help. That we can not possibly do it alone. God understands this and that is why She sends us angels to help. We are never alone in our appointed tasks. There are always angels (and sometimes demons) to help us along the way.
You may or may not have heard of the term ghost writers. Ghost writers are professional writers who are paid to write books, articles, stories, reports, speeches or other texts that are officially credited to another person. Some famous ghost writers in the music industry are: Gillie Da Kid, The Dream, Missy Elliot, Keri Hilson, Faith Evans, Neyo, Babyface, and Timbaland. The fore-mentioned talented ghost writers have written for many performing artists. And those songs have reached #1 on many billboards. This is a perfect example of being ‘assisted’ in delivering your message. Both the ghost writer AND the artist had a message to convey and by collaboration, the message is delivered to the masses.
Another example is the famous “Normalcy, Never Again” speech given by Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. That speech is said to have been written by 3 of his colleagues, Dr Vincent Harding, Clarence Jones and Stanley Levison. I think we all know the powerful messages conveyed in this speech. However, most people do not know that Dr Martin Luther King, Jr had a little help in putting that speech together. Now the thing I LOVE most about this speech is that it was empowered by a little prompting of an outside force. That outside force was none other than the late great Mahalia Jackson. At the end of this speech, Mahalia Jackson cried out to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr to….. ‘ Tell them about the dream, Martin’. Upon hearing her cry, Dr King begin to deliver another message…..the message inspired by the Divine and given only to him. That message is now entitled, ‘I Have A Dream.
I could go on and on giving out examples of other ghost writers and their counterparts (The Messengers); however, what’s most important now is….Who’s gonna deliver YOUR message?
Waiting anxiously to hear what you have been given to share,
