Jesus said, if you are ashamed of me before men, I will be ashamed of you before my Father. The problem with many Gospel influencers today is that they fear being cancelled esp by the media. As such, instead of standing up for the right thing, they compromise and allow evil to prevail, all for what? That radio/tv interview? That blog? That endorsement deal? That collaboration? That sponsorship? Etc.

I am not afraid to speak the truth, it has cost me alot of friendships, alot of opportunities that could have propelled my ministry but do I regret it, NEVER! I'll rather die poor and alone than to turn my back on Yeshua.

At the end of the day, Jesus didn't shy from speaking the truth, the disciples didn't shy from speaking the truth, Paul didn't shy from speaking the truth, John the Baptist didn't shy from speaking the truth and it cost them a lot, some their very lives. 

So be encouraged. Stand boldly for the gospel.

[8] We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. [9] We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.

[13] But we continue to preach because we have the same kind of faith the psalmist had when he said, “I believed in God, so I spoke.”

[16] That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. [17] For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! [18] So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever. ‭‭
