Kanye West made a name for himself over the years with his rap music, marriage to Kim Kardashian, wild ways and publicity stunts, but now according to The Christian Post:
"2019 everything changed for him, and he began his Sunday Service events featuring a Gospel choir that reimagined mainstream songs with Christian lyrics.
West said he became a born again Christian during this process and has now devoted his life to 'working for God.'"
Some wonder about the sincerity of West's "conversion," while others like professing Christian Patrician Heaton, star of Carol's Second Act and Everybody Loves Raymond, worry that West will encounter difficult opposition that he may not be prepared for.

Never-the-less, West's bold declaration of his Christian faith is making news—and even more so now that his latest album, called Jesus is King, is Number One on Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart.
According to Billboard, "Kanye West returns to a familiar spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart, as his latest release, Jesus Is King, debuts at No. 1. It’s his record-tying ninth consecutive debut at No. 1, matching Eminem’s still-active streak for the longest in the chart’s history."
While writing in chains during his imprisonment, Paul declared in Philippians 1:1-15, that no matter the motives of those doing the preaching, he rejoiced when Christ was preached.

So we can follow Paul's example and rejoice that Kanye West has made an outspoken declaration about his Christian faith and decision to "work for God." and that his "Gospel" album has the attention of much of the press and world—and will no doubt lead many to consider faith in Jesus—the Lord of life and risen Savior!
God is so Good.

If you don't already know Jesus as Lord—you can begin your life with him today:
---------------------------------
Romans 10:9-10
9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
---------------------------------
If you've made this decision—believed it in your heart and confessed it with your mouth—let God speak to you by reading the Bible—and seek out fellowship with others who also believe.
Pour out your heart to God in Prayer (simply speaking to Him in reverence)—asking Him to reveal Himself to you and to provide for your needs.
Life in Jesus is the best decision you will ever make.
God Bless You!
