I was in West Africa but felt so close to the noise, amusement and anticipation that surrounded the announcement of the bout between Floyd Mayweather and McGregor.
World media succeeded in making a lot of boxing enthusiast out of this announcement because it was a match you wouldn’t want to miss.
The build-up and interviews towards this event just escalated the interest of people, because now, all were curious about the results of the bout based on comments from both athletes.
One day I sat and thought through this event of life and the level of attention it had being given, all because it involved two champions who had made their marks in their respective divisions and deserved all the respect they both commanded.
Delving deeper into my thoughts I figured out there was a secret champion in life men have chosen to ignore and also to give 0% anticipation to HIS bout, even though HE is an undisputed champion, never lost a bout and will never loose a bout.
HE is the only champion who knocks you down and out without throwing a fist but with HIS name. (Philippians 2:10, that at the name JESUS every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth)
A champion who never uses HIS fist because records have it that no one can stand HIS wrath. (Revelation 6:17), for the great day of HIS wrath is come and who can shall be able to stand?)
HE is the only champion who defeats out of love for love and in love.
HE is a champion to behold, a fighter to enjoy, and yet the cameras frown at HIM denying HIM the audience He deserves, the doors of anticipation shuts at HIS name blinding people about HIS reign and second coming.
HIS interviews are echoes in an empty room, no one to hear HIM, and no one to cheer HIM on.
HE bypasses all these ill-moments and always steps in the ring to fight my battles for me.
Now I hold the “MORE THAN A CONQUEROR” title in all divisions yet never came or sat close to the boxing ring.
I don’t know about you but I think, HE deserves my full attention and I’m anticipating HIS return to reign as the champion HE was, HE is, and will always be.
Thank you.
