Obviously you don't go blindly into any relationship. The point was this is the type of man that the top choice of women are going to make themselves available for.

Thank you for clarifying. That’s true. Though most call it selective.

No, I don’t refer to myself in that manner. I’m goal-driven and disciplined.
What's your niche and aspirations?
I've versed my vision on here several times. They're going to happen. I will be famous one day. Unless you're being careful not to spill the beans, I don't see why you wouldn't tell us what your plans are. Heck, if you want me to sign a NDA, PM me and I'll be happy to do that too. (no kidding)

I’ve mentioned it several times. Fashion design and media (writing, public speaking, media ventures). I’ve discussed school too. :)

No NDA is necessary. I am mindful of what I say. Just out of prudence. Public comments can be taken out of context.

Do you have any samples for the fashion designs yet? What type of writing and public speaking?

No, I’m learning. My focus is classic ready-to-wear and couture fashion. At the moment I’m developing sewing and patternmaking skills. Design is inspirational. Their conceptions are brought to life by others. If you’re able to draft patterns you can do it yourself.

Motivational/inspirational. Its natural and resonates with me most.

What about you?

Ministry speaking for me. I plan on being an itinerant with that. I also have several business models and startups that I'm going to launch that will help fund the vision for the different mission I intend to get off the ground too. One is an original web startup you can check out at www.geoloot.com

The app for it is still under development. I also have plans for a new entertainment sports/military league as well. The latter is going to take considerable investment to start. But that's another thing I'm waiting on the Lord for. But when it comes to pass it will make me famous virtually over night. I know a lot of people will think it's a fluke but I have it documented in the cloud somewhere. And when it's time to unveil then there will be no mistaking Gods favor in my life.

PS - Those things are just the tip of the iceberg of what all God has planned. In the meantime, here are some original rap lyrics for a tune I wrote. Check it out...

Lyrics: Hook 1 Yes Yes Lord Glory in the streets, Lord We see You, Lord And You don’t stop Yes Yes Lord Glory in the streets, Lord We see You, Lord And You don’t stop Shout it out for the Immortal – Heaven’s champ supernal The Great I am – Eternal For a world of lost sinners was slain and I’m one of ‘em He’s the originator, the Author of this faith trip Any other way is pitiful though many are on that ship Me? I’m a brand plucked from the fire My testimony bears witness even if some call me a liar I’m really free, Lord. You did it, Lord. You said it’s finished, Lord. Consuming fire! You told me to go from your Word so I take up my cross and follow you wherever there’s room to sow With Your seed as my portion I’ll go out for the fortune The inheritance for which You died A bride spotless and dove-eyed To which I will search far and wide To bring back to your side You’re the One that’s got Heaven’s bells ringing You got saints singing the good news Joyful sound in this world still banging And I’m just thankful that you aint changing And for that I’m exchanging – my life for You You are the faithful and true. Witness Don’t care about social status. Angry at injustice. Got a big vision. And know the world listens. So I’m sending the entire globe a love note Authorized by the very blood which wrote: I love you. I died for you. I rose for you. And I’m alive for you. Hook 2 So keep it real with Him. Go to prayer with Him Read the Word with Him. Share the life with Him Because every day when we wake up we know that you don't change Your truth will always be the same x2 I run in this world manifesting His glory like a show Holy holy holy is my theme to know I’m the world system’s rival. A good soldier – A fighter But I fall on my knees just to get a sight of.. The One who looks down on me The One in whom I am well pleased I love the way He sweetly says to me ____________ Lord give me 7 decades to display your Word Keep me in your strength to get more served When the devil catches me let me upon you gird My spirit to entrust and my prayer to be heard I wanna wear a white robe in glory And a palm branch to wave the story Hosanna to the king O mighty One to save I love you here, Lord. I love you there, Lord I wanna stand at a distance and just stare, Lord. I know I’m not the smartest saint clapping And I know I still have room to grow But one thing I know My sins have been washed away to the depths of the oceans flo (floor) Jesus, that’s my goal No matter the highest toll What else is there to say except voice from the Apostle Paul That I might know Him. And the power of His resurrection. And the fellowship of His suffering. Being conformed to His death. That by any means I may attain to the resurrection of the dead.

Ministry speaking for me.

Are you going to represent a church, denomination or fly solo?

You’re planning to launch multiple businesses. Are you funding them through the ministry earnings? Is this a tiered approach or are you doing this all at once?

Why do you desire to be famous?

What I didn't mention was that I'm going to plant a church and it's going to be called The Church of the Upper Room. The Lord told me this years ago. The businesses will go to fund the church and the different ministries involved with it. I've already purchased the domain for the flagship ministry of the church. It's going to be a 24/6 ministry of teams working around the clock. They'll go wherever there's a need and body to minister to. It will truly be a ministry unto an audience of One, reaching the world one person at a time. Everything will be video recorded and handed off to a production company for editing and broadcast. I've been laying the foundation for this for years. You can check my blog out to see what I'm talking about. As for the celebrity part.. that really wasnt my desire to begin with. But when Holy Spirit invited me to take the mantle of someone that has gone on to be with God, I accepted the call. I didn't at first because I knew the tremendous responsibility it would entail. I would've much rather stayed low key. But with this calling comes humongous privilege to minister to some real powerful people. And of course to answer your question, the only reason is for the glory of God

I'm 35 years old. God told me I would enter full time ministry at 40. I've asked why so late and the answer came by him telling me I need to be more refined in love. Granted, I'm pretty rough around the edges still so that's understandable. Itll be around 39-40 that I find my future wife too. She will be younger than me and will have a celebrity type status too. I could go on. But this thread isn't about me.

For those called to the public space, the most successful attacks are waged through pride, greed, sexual immorality, and vainglory. Most failures and falls from grace are the result of one of these.

Fame and celebrity are ruled by a spirit of vainglory. And pride always follows.

Hmm. Those are good warnings to heed. Although, I dont see all famous people succumbing to these things you mentioned. What safeguards would you suggest people put up to avoid these pitfalls?

What did John say when the people mentioned Jesus baptizing? “He must increase; but I must decrease.”

We are servants not celebrities. You cannot use your platform as an avenue for recognition or fame. Or a position others should covet or envy. If any part of you desires it; you’re in trouble. The hook is already in.

There is a secular tone to some of your comments that isn’t consistent with the level of responsibility you’ve presented.

Wealth and notice are privileges which come with many hardships and pitfalls. Don’t allow the glitter to blind you from the risks.

what i have realized since then was i was in no way ready to get married. a man has to have real ambitions and goals and must show tangible ways in which he has taken steps toward these goals. this is part of going into marriage as a whole person and not a piece looking to be completed. a woman is to be a compliment to a man, not a suppliment. you go in whole and a woman adds to you, not completes you.
If you have read my threads you will see I have said I know a woman now would not solve anything - would be more rebound that would lead to further problems - not the way to go.
I know very well a man must have plans and goals set - once they are achieved a woman will fall in lie - that is what happens when a man handles his business accordingly.

I am going to talk raw for a second here - but [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] is always going to be around on planet earth - that is a fact - I know taking a year or 2 out will not change that.

Women (Godly or not) are always available and on the market.

Women are like cars - you see one you like - you think about it then a few days later you wanna get it and BOOM it is gone! You are disappointed - but later searching again you will see a better car at a better price with less miles (or NO MILES - even better!).

So I know this very well.

My thing is I struggle atm between the bored of wanting to chat to women (cos I have been so used to that in my past time) now I am TRYING to move in a different light. Cos as Galatians say sowing into the flesh is corruption and I know this VERY WELL! SO sowing into the spirit I am trying - it is taking time cos I am moving in a NEW DIRECTION to what I have been VERY used to.

My goals will always be there! I am on track to fulfilling them by August 2020 - God willing (just between that time I feel I need action of women talking)

But I need to reject that and try to move from the dog crap past. Being deep in the word - building on my spirit - and realising that things will come together as I am BUILDING my little empire.

The Bishop at my church today said an excellent point about men and woman (relationships) a man must have himself together before woman (he never said that word to word but it was the basic paraphrasing).

So what I do now:

1. Go Church.
2. Read verses/studying
3. Gym (cos I am about looking as great as I can and self love - nobody on earth will love me as much as I love myself).
4. This forum seeing what people are saying.
5. Enjoying the outdoors and seeing people (talking to different people here and there BEING A HUMAN BEING ON GOD'S EARTH).

Some people will say THAT IS NOT ENOUGH!

My response to that? KICK ROCKS!

Cos from where I was - I am trying to move differently - not overnight thing! If I could become this new being overnight I would do it in a HEARTBEAT!

Doesn't work that way.

Bologna. Says the unregenerate person or the redeemed? Take that verse in context. Kthnx

The Pharisees think the are redeemed. There are many who call on Jesus thinks they are redeemed but are not.

There are many who thinks they are unregenerate but are redeemed. I'm giving examples from the Bible.

So how do you determine you are redeemed? According to examples given in the Bible, you cannot.

This means you cannot completely trust even yourself. Keep testing even things you already believe. Perhaps, never settle on a set of beliefs, keep testing them.

I'm aware that Apostle Paul gave teachings to become "redeemed" in Romans 10. But it's only an instruction... How would you know you have truly believed, how would you know you are truly calling on the lord?? Because we have Matthew 7:22-23 to remind us know we can't be certain.

Most Christians hate the notion of uncertainty but it's the only thing that seems certain in this world.

Rather trust myself than have all my trust in somebody else.

There's always a place "in between" You can't trust yourself completely. Partially, yes.

Only partly trust yourself, keep testing even things you already believe in.

We grow and mature. I still find the same physical attributes very appealing. But there are other things I need besides that.

For me even the desire for physical attributes have changed. The whole attributes, including personality, beliefs, etc.

If I married earlier, it would have been a huge mistake. Thank God, I waited!
