The Vision and the Ministry (Updated Saturday January 9th 2021) We are all blessed with talents and gifts and as Christians, our purpose in life is to glorify God first and foremost, as well as to bless others with the gifts that God has given us. It's hard to realize the talents you have until others help confirm them to you. I believe revelation comes from God Himself and confirmation comes from/through man. God has given me a passion for rapping and poetry (Therapy - Prayeth - They Rap) and a burden for today's youth. With that, He has given me a vision to preach the sermons that He has laid on my heart in hip-hop (Holy Inspired Praise - Healing Our People) format, a sermon that can relate to young kids and our current generation. In order to effect (affect) change, we need to transform the mind's of our youths because they are the ones that will change the world. The moral decline of our nation (and world) calls for drastic measures. We need to reach our youths and bring them back to the path of righteousness and purity. God has called me and I have answered Him. He has given me a vision and I have taken the step of faith. With the help of the church, the body of believers, a great impact will be made if the youth can get their ears tuned in to the lyrics that God has inspired me to write for Him (to advance the Kingdom of God). I'm ready to stretch God (or Im ready for God to stretch me) to the limit with this ministry and I know that He will answer my call because He has promised me that if I call to Him, He will answer me and show me "great and unsearchable things that I did not know (Jeremiah 33:3). My ministry is called Words That Build because the words we speak are so powerful. The world speaks words that kill and tear apart, and I'm here to speak words that encourage, heal, and build. The tongue is one of the most powerful weapons we have. Forget about weapons of mass destruction; if people spoke words of love and actually loved their neighbors, would there even be wars? We are all accountable for the words we speak and I have made up my mind to not let any "unwholesome talk come out of my mouth, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it will benefit those who listen (Ephesaians 4:29). My vision is that every youth (or everyone young at heart) in America and even worldwide (made possible through the internet) will have access or an opportunity to listen to the ministry of Verbal Chemistry starting with my very first album, "His Favor, My Offering," because the words I speak are not my own. The words I speak are from Jesus Christ and are life changing. "Divine inspiration...Christ gave His blood, I give my perspiration, combined with patience, my lyrics will nurse the nation back to health. Verbal Chemistry

Lyrics
Track 11_Strike It Rich (His Favor, My Offering) Lyrics written by: Verbal Chemistry Music Produced by: Urban Noize Entertainment Man, the other day I was just thinking...just about life in general, and you know in life they have what is called the ladder of success and you have all these people trying to climb up that ladder trying to be successful in life...and the society determines success by how much things you can accumulate, whether it be cars, houses...it's not just enough to have one car, we need like three or four of them, and my house is never big enough, it can always get bigger. But in the Bible it says store your treasures in Heaven, treasures that thieves can't steal and it won't never rust and moths can't eat from it; treasures up in Heaven... (Verse) Yo strike it rich, no more worries, no car problems cuz I got five kinds of whips; I could go down the list of how I dodge cats with the Viper, the type to hit sixty before second is clutched; I drive fast cars like NASCAR that pass yall, but I stay cruising at 80 cuz what's the rush; and I know that some of these cats are mad at that, can't stand the fact that I have more TV’s in my Cadillac than they have in their one room shack; that's why I pack the gat, cuz I know your crew's strapped and clap with guns; they the envious type, want what you have but can't have, yup, that's the one; quick to collapse your lungs and widow your first lady; I stay incognito, tint the windows, throw on the diplomat tags on my Mercedes and ride out to my hide out where I rendezvous with 6 untamed cats who wild out; pass the brew while getting high now, we're pass acting a fool, someone's gonna die now; load the Suburban with these cats swearing and cursing, explosives strapped to their chest headed for the urban development; we gonna do more than make a statement, we gonna represent! These bombs just tell you my temperament; I have a short fuse, ready to hurt you, disperse crews, do my work from 12-3 a.m., no curfew; look at my treasures, you know where my heart's at; the Viper, the Escalade, the Benz, the Suburban, aka HAZMAT, hazardous materials cuz I love money; dead presidents, greenbacks, even blood money; can't get enough of it, always hugging it, quick to murder anyone touching it; but let me tell you about my fifth car, it will literally take your breath away; it sits on chromed out twenty twos, interior has plenty room, its best feature is its trunk space; I never thought I would ride in it, but I knew it would happen one day; one day came really soon; death is always tragic, and the thing is, I'm not even sitting shotgun, I'm sitting casket; back to the clay, but for some reason I don't think that's where my cash is...
