I do believe the challenges you endured caused you
to have a greater annointing. You would have never sung make me over again the way you do if the struggles are not there. Everytime you sing that song it is done differently and more power is being added as you speak. There will be another powerful song that god is going to trust to you. There is work to be done and can't nobody do it but you. the tone in your voice is annointed. it is simple keep focused you will continue to obey him because he will ride your thoughts and mind, body and soul. You be encouraged.

God will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Him. Tonex, at least you can remember this verse in the bible. It is so obvious that you are focusing on the wrong things rather than the Lord who gave you these gifts to affect lives. If your reasons for leavin is becos you were lied on, player hated.... then you need to go back and re-build your fellowship with the Father. He will talk to you and guide you.

Well, I must say it is about time that God used somebody to expose the gospel industry for what it truly is, and has been for many years! People singing
about the love of Christ out on stage, but yet, not showing it behind the curtains. I encourage you to work out your own soul salvation in fear and trembling! Yes it's true what Kirk said about labels, because I was also an artist they could not put in a certain box, but whatever God has for you, they can't stop it, block it, nor label it!!
Encourage your soul, and keep journeying on!!!

Please retire crybaby. All those pioneers who have gone on before you ... unrecognized, unpaid, even not allowed to sing in their own churches. Are your "trouble" greater than theirs? I doubt it. You wanna cry about a bad contract that YOU signed. All the young folks shouting your name. But YOU signed a newbie contract, so instead of paying your NEWBIE dues like EVERYONE else in the industry has, you wanna take your ball can go. Quiter. True ministry is ministry with or without lucartive money deal. BYE. Such a let down.

hi Tonex firstly l express my great PAIN for what you are going through.l want to remind you my friend of how a servant of God must suffer so as to get the crown that is what you are aiming for isnt it? Jesus said "If the world hates you remember it hated me first" him as your master was misunderstood,mistreated and falsely accused but he held on to the promise of God.I encourage you to pray. king David went through it and prayed l ask that you also pray Psalms 3 and Isaiah 50:4-11 may the good Lord help you l love your music Remember "God has not forgot"

Doc,
I know that there are some mistakes we make, but with God there is no mistake. I know what its like to want to give it up, but press toward the mark... As with waitlifting, its not always easy, but it always leaves you stronger... Praying for you Brah!
God Bless,
Will

i must confess that i am really saddened to hear this.i just heard about you from a friend and ever since i have fallen in love with the message which you bring.i have just an advice,u aren't called in the ministry because of any one.It's a ministry of our saviour and He want you to keep on sharing it.I would keep on praying for you.
