🔴 Why⁉️

Your Job Is Not an Excuse to Compromise
Stop saying,
“It’s just my job.”
No...it’s your idol in disguise.
You don’t have to shoot in the nightclub.
You don’t have to work with nudes.
You’re not “just doing business.”
You’re just not bold enough to set a standard.

You Own the Brand...But You Bow Like You’re a Slave
You say you’re a believer.
You say you trust God.
But the moment the bag’s involved,
so is your compromise.
You prayed for the business...
but now you won’t even dedicate it to Him unless it’s convenient.
Let’s be real:
It’s not about survival.
It’s about being liked, being booked, and not losing connections.

Compromise Disguised as “Strategy” Is Still Rebellion
Some of y’all are just addicted to being liked by everyone
so you move like a chameleon and call it “favor.”
No...it’s fear of man in a designer outfit.
And others?
You just enjoy the sin.
So you hide it behind your job,
and say “God understands.”
But God doesn’t co-sign what He already called unclean.

“No One Is Perfect” Wasn’t Meant to Justify Patterns
Let’s kill the excuse:
“Yes, people make mistakes.”
But don’t hide behind grace to defend a lifestyle of deliberate sin.
You’re not being “real.”
You’re just rebellious.
And when someone corrects you, you scream:
“Holier than thou!”
Nah.
You’re just convicted and don’t want to admit it.
Just because your conscience is screaming
doesn’t mean people are judging you.
That’s God trying to rescue your integrity.

You Can Have Standards and Still Be Successful
Stop acting like righteousness and relevance can’t coexist.
They can...if you actually trust the God you keep claiming to serve.
Set boundaries.
Turn down gigs that compromise your faith.
Let your business reflect His holiness, not just your hustle.
Because if your brand forces you to bow at altars He never built....
it’s not your calling.
It’s your compromise.

Obedience Will Always Offend the Applause-Addicted.
If you’re going to walk in purpose,
you have to choose between being liked and being led.
God’s approval doesn’t always come with a platform.
Sometimes it comes with silence and scars.
So stop saying “only God can judge me”
if your life still moves based on everyone else's reactions.

Because until their silence doesn’t shake you,
and their praise doesn’t sway you...
you’re still bowing.

😥TRUTH IS...😥
Sometimes obedience feels like walking blindfolded into fire, not knowing if the flames will consume you or refine you. It feels like handing God the knife and laying your Isaac on the altar, praying He remembers the promise even when your arms ache from surrender.

The scariest obedience will always wrestle with the loudest fears: What if I lose everything? What if this breaks me? What if God doesn’t show up? But buried in that trembling yes is a hidden key...the kind that only unlocks when tears stain the floor and faith stretches past logic.

Think of Esther: heart pounding, whispering, “If I perish, I perish.” That step into the throne room wasn’t courage dressed in confidence....it was obedience dressed in trembling. Yet nations were saved.

Think of Peter: his first step on water wasn’t about conquering waves....it was about trusting the voice that called him forward. That voice was louder than gravity, louder than fear.

The truth is, blessings rarely live on the side of comfort. They are hidden on the side of surrender...the terrifying, breath-catching, pulse-racing kind of surrender. And if you’re standing at the edge right now, wondering if you should leap… know this: the same God who calls you into the unknown is the same God who prepares miracles in the dark.
Your most trembling yes may become the testimony that saves generations.

Your Mouth Says “God First” ... But Your Mind is Still on Their Approval
You claim “I only want to please God.”
Cool.
Then why does criticism crush you more than conviction moves you?
Why does one negative comment outweigh a thousand confirmations from Heaven?
Why do you hesitate when the assignment doesn’t trend?
You’re not delivered from opinions..
You’ve just Christianized your fear of man.

A Word Before the Journey Begins...

Not every introduction is a formality. Some are a declaration.
This is not just another page ...it is a doorway.

My name is Joseph , servant of Christ, husband, son, and friend. The world may call me Apostle, but before the title, I am a man whom grace refused to abandon.
The Image of Christ Ministries International (TICMI) is not here to build a brand, but to echo a truth: “You are complete in Him” (Col. 2:10).

In an age of fractured identities and shallow pursuits, my life is committed to one thing... unveiling the image of Christ in men and women, until destiny is rebuilt, hope resurrected, and purpose ignited.

This space will not be for noise, but for light.
Not for clout, but for Christ.
Not for performance, but for presence.
If you have stumbled here, I believe it is not by chance.

Perhaps you too are searching, yearning, or simply longing to stand firm in a world that keeps shaking. My prayer is that as you walk with me here, every post becomes less of my words, and more of His voice calling you deeper.
Welcome, beloved. The journey is sacred.
And it begins here.
