The Delayed Promise of God

When God instructed Samuel to anoint David as king – Saul’s replacement – David was a mere child about 12 years old (1 Sam. 16). From that very day, the ‘Spirit of the Lord’ was on David (1 Sam. 16:13).

Despite the anointing and alignment with God, David faced many giants (1 Sam 17), trials, and pitfalls. Some had David literally running for his life. These obstacles impeded David from his rightful seat on the throne as king. God’s promise was delayed.

Many people have experienced their “David Anointing” but have become bitter, angry, and in many cases, given up all because God is taking too long.

Throughout David’s journey, he could have given up or even taken matters into his own hands. However, David seeks God’s advice. Whenever he strayed from God, David always found his way back to God. Whenever David had opportunities to pursue vengeance or “alter” the outcome he always took the higher road, allowing God to handle the problem.

When David finally took his throne as a king reigning over all of Israel, he was 30 years old (2 Sam 5: 1-5). It took about 15-17 years for God’s promise to become a reality.

What has God promised you? Do you have the endurance and faith to trust and wait on God like David?

Every closed door or broken promise by man is only a temporary setback to your promise. God’s promise to you may be delayed but it will not be denied. God’s promises are always fulfilled, you have to trust God in the process…

Wanda Mo'net - Driven By Purpose

Every Friday record labels and independent artist inundate online music stores with new product.  Betwixt and in between all the artful choices of timbre, there are a few digital recordings worth listening. The odds grow even slimmer for those worth purchasing. Wanda Mo'net is that Diamond in the rough project! Her debut album - Driven by Purpose - is the project worth purchasing. I had an opportunity to sit down with Ms. Mo'net in the studios of Soulful Sundays - A Place Called Soulsville and she talked candid about Driven by Purpose (see link below) 

Wanda's powerful voice actually draws you into the music.  Her sultry blend of Gospel mixed with an Urban Contemporary style; brings forth a refreshing sound. As with many projects, you are lulled in by the music alone.  Driven by Purpose captivates you with music as well as Wanda's anointed testimony, on many standout tracks: “BREAKTHROUGH”, “HOLDFAST”, and “AVAILABLE”. Wanda has the crossover appeal that should hit the Contemporary Christian Music audiance with "WE SING HOLY." There is on cover song on this album which is a cover of Al Green’s classic “LET’S STAY TOGETHER.” You clearly understand the artist’s intent to illustrate a love affair with Jesus and no one else.

Though this is Wanda’s freshman solo project, she teamed with Grammy-Nominated and Stellar Award Winner Producer, Kenny Smith, WaKyn Foundation Group, and Airtight Entertainment Inc.

Wanda Mo'net is the artist you need to watch and  Driven by Purpose is the CD worth the download.
