ALMOST (saved) by Official P4CM Poet Ezekiel Azonwu

[@ALLAN92ism]

2023 and I’m still here. I listened to this for the first time 10 years ago and it feel the same and even more impactful 🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@dennisrivers3918]

In this very moment!

[@mariahpierce6710]

'I was a "male" enveloped by guilt because I was stamped a sinner. My message couldn't be received because I didn't represent the sender, yet I was almost delivered.' SO DOPE!!

[@kamrynetia5835]

“we all worked in sin and death was minimum wage but if it wasnt for Christ we wouldve almost got paid” wooowee thankyou Lord💯❤️

[@eccross]

Good job to the poet Ezekiel Azonwu. Some people can't help but to be critical, they ALMOST listened to what you said.

[@attlevi]

Wow! I want to be fully live a real Christian life. I don't want to be denied access into heaven for having had entertained the world and fleshly pleasures. They mean nothing cz they're the devil in disguise. May God help us and remind us daily to live right as Christians. May God bless P4CM to continue this beautiful job.

[@Tori7Turquise]

LIFE CHANGING!!!! I don't want to meet God one day and hear Him say he never knew me! The words i long to hear are "Well done good and faithful servant!" I'm done being an ALMOST Christian!

[@born4this7]

Yes!!!!!! Glory to God...This brother right here is the truth!!!! Conviction at its best right here that will stir up sorrow in your heart and push you to repentance and change your ways and surrender ALL not All most to the Lord!!

[@kidusbahiru4369]

Ezekiel Azonwu's poems are really great. Salvation is not a one time thing. Salvation is a life time of repentance, faith, and good deeds. Faith without works is dead and work without faith is dead. He is an orthodox christian even though he don't know it now.

[@gears2burn]

God be the Glory he speaks threw you Ezekiel. I've watched this I don't know how many times. Please make more heavy hitting poems they are so inspirational to us.! God bless everyone watching let this flip over your boat so you have to walk 😀

[@neiahchelle]

" we have all worked in sin and death was minimum wage, but if it wasnt for Christ we would've AMLOST go paid"!!!!!! Thank the the Lord!!!!

[@shebrownsuga]

oh my...I absolutely love this. I too have done spoken word but am now sleeping on it. I got bogged down by school and in classes where I felt I could not measure up to other poets. I could not interpret the writing. I realized I am more of a spoken word type poet. I pray I can write and speak on a subject that will influence people spiritually, like this young man did. He is straight preaching the truth! I just love this..Very inspirational...spiritually and as a poet...He was hitting it at every angle and allowing God to use him!

[@RandomShortguy]

We've all worked in sin and death is the minimum wage, but if it wasn't for Christ, we would've almost got saved. Powerful words.

[@rebecca5932]

[@crazystreamer85]

Remember listening to this the first time during a men meeting back in 2012 Meanwhile performed it myself a couple of times already 😇 mof JUST did it from the top of my longs in my room!! Just love the fire and the double entendres in this poem🔥💯❤️

I would love this ministry to come to my church during Children's week and minister not only to the youth, but the adults too. "The minimum wage for my sin is death and we almost got paid, WOW!" So Amazing, so Amazing...He's a mighty God!!! It's late and I'm still up watching videos! Glory be to God, but I'll watch one more and then I'm going to sleep 4 real, POL(praise out loud)!

[@Beautifulbeula]

He knows you're too beautiful and too precious to suffer in life, and he wants to set you free.

[@Aqueenswisdom]

This poem was extremely deep the life I'm living feels like it's so idol now WOW! I thought I was living right but now that I look back I wasn't and if it wasn't for Christ I would already by in hell. Thank you Jesus me being on a teen I still am trying to live a blessed life while also living a teenage dream but now I know I gotta make a change!!!

[@RearviewWisdom]

I don't understand what is it that the Bible says that Christians don't get.. . That's the religious strong holds on your mind but Christianity is NO RELIGION!!!..... "Religion is humans trying to work their way to God through good works. Christianity is God coming TO men and women THROUGH JESUS CHRIST".....if the Bible STATES this is our only way to salvation, this is our only way to the father who are we not to submit to his word?? Who are we to question his word?? Even after Christ Sacrificed for you. Do as many charitable things as you please but it profits you nothing in regards to the kingdom. You can't ALMOST have faith. You either believe Christ died for your sins or not and if you do....then you strive daily to live according to his word and die to your flesh.

[@Quayn05]

Religion is any attempt to HIDE yourself apart from GOD. Ex. Adam and Eve tried to hide themselves with fig leaves…Christianity mean to be like Christ, God has Already come to us thru Jesus now it's out turn to seek his face and his kingdom.

[@NaruAMV1]

[@Rerdeleon0810]

Man this is so good, He has motivated me to step it up in how I live my life for Christ, not almost sold out but completely. The Lord definitely knew I needed to hear this.

[@4TheMostHighJesus]

That was ALMOST the truth. We are saved through faith alone in Christ alone. We are most assuredly called to godliness and holiness once we are born again. We are not saved by our good works. Which this poem strongly implies. Romans 4:5 "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness." Belief in the Lord Jesus Christ and His death, burial and resurrection and trusting in that for your salvation is what saves.

[@the204cool]

We don't do good works TO be saved. But we do good works BECAUSE we're saved. Faith without works is dead. The good works are still a part of the Christian walk

[@4TheMostHighJesus]

I absolutely agree, but look at the title of the video..." Almost Saved," you are conveying the exact opposite message of faith alone in Christ alone with the title and the poets assertion that one is "almost saved" because of works.

[@the204cool]

No I think you're missing the point of the poem. He's more referring to professed Christians who have a form of Godliness. DOING all the right things, but not having Jesus.

[@Dr_Dera]

4TheMostHighJesus "Sought out your salvation with fear and trembling" said the one who worked with God. If we say we love Him and do not obey His words, what becomes of us?

[@janeah.taylor]

Let me ask you all this!!! Do you all keep all the LAW ...? The ENTIRE LAW. If you break 1 you break ALL ? Does anyone live perfect ? Do you have a thoughts that go against God and his Holiness ? No I didn’t think so, can we stop making this message about how we live ? At the end of the day your saved because of what Jesus Christ did ALONE ! Not how we live ... there are ppl that sinned against God and he still declared them righteous... the “ ALMOST saved “that he really means is wether we believe that or not ! Not by our works or actions.

[@medgine11]

"we've all worked in sin and death was minimum wage and it wasn't for Jesus we would've almost got paid" All I gotta say is phenomenal, gifted writer, I was most definitely touched,i'm speechless right now...

[@switzerland93]

To the person below i say tht to myself all the time by far the best poem i have ever been blessed to hear sick man God bless

[@WalkingWithFaith2009]

One of the most dangerous terms in English diction. If it could be translated into audio, it would sound like (pbpbpbp) From the saxophone of Lisa Simpson. Two words designed and strategically combined to form the biggest oxymoron in the history of mankind. All. Most. But see, as far as the world is concerned, you could live your life foul and could almost get away with murder if you have a nice smile. You could almost meet folks just to almost sleep around Then stop at your local clinic. Well, you almost had a child. See, almost is no stranger to Satan. Here's proof. He only tells lies when they're almost the truth and its amazin' And on incompleteness, we find complacence. But if almost is one of Lucifer's many traits, then we are inadvertently good, that's Satan's impersonations. But on the contrary, Christ did his job fully and He proved He was God when He died on the Cross like it was His duty And to pardon my iniquities that I committed rudely, He resurrected from the Grave just to tell death to excuse me. But excuse me, this is your life and that's something I can't impose on, But your body is God's home, which was alone to get foreclosed on. See, an almost Christian looks right, but lives wrong. Can't stand the conviction in Romans, so they sit down to be comforted in Psalms. Never understood worship, but loved to sing songs like "I surrender al....MOST!" Cause its far too expensive for you to spend your life on something that doesn't appeal to your five senses. See, nowadays, Christianity's like a louie rag, No functional use but we just rock it cause its stylish. Not righteous, but right-ish. So now all God sees is a pile of Ish-males (Ishmaels) when he intended for Isaacs. We're moved by how we feel, so we're saved when we feel like it, So technically we've never really been saved, we merely tried it. So no wonder why we're never sold out when we return it after we buy it. Now, let me break it down because you need beware that your life could lack the very standards that need to be there Cause on that final day of judgement when God's receiving His heir, Will He say "Son, well done" or "puh, medium rare" Cause even by worldly standards, it would be highly insane for you to start spending all of your money days before you almost get paid Like, parents, you wouldn't send your kids to a school that's almost safe. Hey ladies, would you really date a man who claims he's almost straight? And this is the very thing about God that we all try to get around But His standards are like between two mountains, no middle ground. So a half way life is unprofitable to you cause after all the Sunday services, Bibles studies and prayer meetings, and everything that goes between, God will say I never knew you. But that's not even the worst part of living your life as neutral Its that you were once octic, but its your warmness that is causing Him to spew you. And this is the very thing that had me, I was bound and held down by the unforgiving gravity of my spiritual reality. I was a Christian, or at least I portrayed the fantasy with a filthy personal life, but a "God bless you brother" "How you doin' sister" personality. I was a male enveloped by guilt because I was stamped a sinner. I said, I was a male enveloped by guilt because I was stamped a sinner. My message couldn't be received because I didn't represent the sender, yet I was almost delivered, till that one day that I totally absolutely and completely surrendered. I took heed to a modern profit who proclaimed it was time for change Now I'm now longer bound to sin. Point blank. Off the chain. You can ask Umar Abdul Mutallab, he'll tell you the same. You don't almost go to jail, when you almost blow up a plane. Like you don't almost go to hell, when you almost get saved. Despise the cross that He was slain and thus the cause in which He came, But don't worry, I'm almost done. But before I leave this stage, We have all worked in sin and death was minimum wage, I said, we've all worked in sin and death was minimum wage, But if it wasn't for Christ we would've almost got paid.

It's about feeling a true joy, and being able to abandon (if needed) all earthly ties. It's about faith, and being certain of what you have no proof of. You might think it's a shot in the dark, but it was the best decision I ever made. Don't listen to people who tell you God is this judgy, hateful being, He isn't. He loves you so much, and sees you so beautifully, with so much potential. He wants to show you what you can do, and bless you. But He can't if you don't let him.

The audiences reaction was terrible, such celebration for the sad truth we encompass. The spoken was well thought out and proclaimed God's grace, but the audience reacted as if it was something other than convicting truth, who cheers on their demise?

Well the holy spirit was speaking through him, when the holy spirit speaks, you can't control how you react. I am laying in my bed and because of these spoken words, my body jumps by itself like something bigger than me is controlling me and goosebumps run up and down my whole body. When the holy spirit is in the room, there is no telling what a person will do, and when you react it will be the real thing not almost.

[@woofy021282]

The thing I respect about this message is that it was more geared towards the Christians. It is calling out a generation that has allowed themselves to be less than fully in His presence to not only become the norm but the requirement. It's not him ranting about how the world is wrong or those filthy sinners etc. It is looking at the deeper cause. Christians unable to represent and provide God's manifested presence. The only thing that can truly change our world.
