"Ain't No Denyin"

What up tho. Aight, so, I don't know how but I came across "Death of a Pop Star" the joint album by David Banner and 9th Wonder, and I YouTube'd a few songs cus I wasn't sure if I wanted to buy it off of iTunes or not, since I saw in an interview with Banner speaking on the industry and how diff this album would be. So, I was checking out "No Denyin (Channel 3)" and loved Banners lyricism on the song and fell in love with this beat. So I felt like I had to write something to this. I'm praying you enjoy it. I will also post the original song as well cus the song is just dope. Be blessed :)

                                        "No Denying (Channel 3)" by David Banner and 9th Wonder



My heart hurts
Cus they'll never understand Your worth
They'll never believe You died and raised up from the dirt
They'll never confess with their mouth Your works
Or how God sent His Son to die cus He loved us first
Or how He predestined us before He formed the earth
Cus He forgave and loved us without us putting in work
See grace is unrightfully deserved
Most of us misuse it, cus we clueless, and don't properly observe
The sacrifice of Christ's life that gave eternally worth
We must die to Christ and properly oblige to His word
If we don't then we'll be excused like a sneeze or a burp
"Depart from me I never knew you" are some heart breaking words
I'm sanctified by His blood and set apart from this world
Justified by faith, I'll forever stand on His word
The dead shall rise upon Christ's return
And if you live in the world, in hell you'll eternally burn
Sorry, I'm just speaking the truth
And I apologize if what I'm saying is offensive to you
But to share God's word is what I'm sent here to do
And show His work in me, prayerfully others will too
I'll die for my beliefs while fighting like a foo
I'll remain a Jesus junkie in this combat of fools
The word of God is for correction and reproof
And my occupation is not to condemn you
But to lite a dormant fire for God within you
I got the heart of the biggest lion dog, Shih Tzu
Haha, maybe that last line didn't hit you
Then again maybe that last line wasn't meant to
The enemy is always attacking our mental
Telling us lies, enticing sin like a menu
We need to accept the greatest gift which is atonement,  
Patiently wait on the return of Christ and the Kingdom's involvement

(A lil chorus I wrote)
Ain't no denying that He rose in 3
That God sent His Son unselfishly
To die for you and He died for me
To give life after death abundantly

"Curse God and Die!"

Job 2:1-10

*Job 2:9-10*
9. His wife said to him, "Are you still trying to maintain your integrity? Curse God and die."
10. But Job replied, "You talk like a foolish woman. Should we accept only good things from the hand of God and never anything bad?" So in all this, Job said nothing wrong.

If we leave God in the midst of adversity we were never truly with Him in the first place

Quick review of Job in the previous chapter:

What we learned in Ch. 1:
(Job 1:2-3)

Job's possessions:
7 sons and 3 daughters
7,000 sheep
3,000 camels
500 teams of oxen (10,000 oxen)
500 female donkeys
many servants
He was, in fact, the richest person in that entire area

Also in Ch. 1 we learned:
Job lost everything he possessed; including his own children

God should be praised even when we feel like we have it all or lost everything

Why?

Job 1:6-12
Satan, wanted God to test Job's intergrity; his righteousness or purity to God
*this is the first real conversation between God and Satan*

Now in Ch. 2 Satan is doing the samething
2:1-5
So God, knowing Job's integrity to Him, allowed Satan to test God

Everything that happens, good or bad, is not out of God's control
God doesn't tempt us but he tests us. (James 1:13)

It is not God's nature to see us fail but to see us succeed.(1 Corinthians 10:13)
I believe that the whole book of Job is amazing. It teaches us as believers that  through adversity, true righteousness is shown. That even with things are tough we must finish strong; persevere through adversity. (2 Timothy 4:7)

3 things Adversity does:
Adversity defines our true character
Adversity examines the wholeness of our hearts

Adversity determines whether we can endure suffering to tranquility

Proverbs 24:10: If you fail under pressure,
your strength is too small. (NLT)


How we handle our day to day situations shows our true character

God values our integrity but honors us even more when we endure suffering and come out an overcomer

God this pains too hard for me to bear
But I'll stay fighting cus I know that a champion is here
Like Ali I'll float in the air
Fly high from the wrath of my enemy's snare
The devil is lie saying that my God isn't here
In reality He's been there even when I didn't believe He was there
"the game ain't right they ain't playing it fair"
To Christ I give my life and to Him I cast all cares
Through Him I gain eternal life free of charge no fare
The world's having they fun like little kids at a fair
Instead you can find me in front of God naked and bare
As the deer panteth by the water, my soul thirsts for You as well
Speak to me Lord I'm willing to hear
The plans for my life is in Your hands I have no reason to fear

Some scriptures I thought would be really good to also study:
2 Corinthians 4:8-10
2 Corinthians 12:9
Phillipians 4:12-13
2 Corinthians 1:4
Isaiah 45:7
1 Corinthians 9:25-27
1 Peter 5:10
Ecclesiastes 10:10
James 1:12-18
