COMPETITION
Earlier we have uncovered the fact that most
Trinidad "Gospel Reggae" artists who
made a deal with Lion of Zion Entertainment no
longer want to work directly with them either. But
none of this can be found on the Lion of Zion
website, where the artists are all still listed as
official "LOZ Artists".
What is "Lion of Zion Entertainment"
exactly?
It's a label run officially by Christafari's front
man Mark Mohr. Lion of Zion also runs "the
world's largest Gospel Reggae webstore",
which can be found on the website GOSPELREGGAE.com.
Mark Mohr, as said, claims that "God chose
him to plug the reggae gap in the Christian
Industry". But others jump on the bandwagon
as well. And so you can not only go to Lion of
Zion's GOSPELREGGAE.com
and GOSPELDANCEHALL.com, you can equally pay a visit to
their competition at... DANCEHALLGOSPEL.com
The competition has a webstore, and they
advertize on the GOSPELREGGAE.com fora as well as
numerous other places on the Internet where the
Gospel Reggae Industrial Complex is being formed
on the Internet. Researching this all leads to
reading the most bizarre discussions on message
boards.
In a 2005
interview with mainstream Christian magazine
"Christianity Today", Mark Mohr admits
that the competition is growing:
When we first started, we were the only CD you
could find in stores, but now there aren't that
many CDs in stores, but there's hundreds and
hundreds [of reggae CDs] available on the
Internet. We're not the only ones doing it
anymore.
Did "God" chose several "Gap
Pluggers", or is Lion of Zion experiencing a
growing competition where they equally experience
an exodus of artists?
Now ofcourse, we're being
sarcastic here. Because we know the answer. The
competition is growing, and Lion of Zion
appearantly experiences an exodus. And the
Internet is strong.
It show the parasitive nature of CCM too. The
demonic nature, even. For it is obvious, how the
Good Lord God Jah would never "elect"
people to "plug gaps" in
"industries" where His very people and
message become products because of their faith. Visions in which
supernatural beings tell people to "plug gaps in
"Christian" industries" can
therefore never be from the Most High.
The Good Lord wiped the merchandizers away from
the Temple Yard. The Good Lord warned His children
against the false teachers:
And through covetousness shall
they with feigned words make merchandise of
you: (2 Peter 2:-3)
And it shows. After Mohr was tempted with
feigned words about becoming a monopolist in an
industry, to become the "founder of Gospel
Reggae" with the "annointing" of
"god" similar as that to King David and
Moses, he is now faced with the evident lie he
believed in.
Christian Reggae artists and listeners have now
become merchandise in the "Gospel Reggae
Industry"...
And that fact reaches way beyond any personal
problem, any personal feeling. It is a thing which
should be exposed. We pray for Mark Mohr, and we
pray for those around him that know all of this
and try to reach him too.
We have
actually warned and spoken out against the forming
of a "Reggae" branch in the CCM
Industry. Like the Divine Saviour didn't want the
merchandizers to be on the Temple Yard, He equally
doesn't want His message of salvation and the
Livity one can receive by becoming born again
through the works of Jesus Christ to become mere
products in a so-called "Christian
Industry".
Christafari's front man Mark Mohr, however,
still has
a completely different vision on that. He actually
claims that God called and chose him to become the
Monopolist in an industry which only carries the
name "Christian" as a trademark. In
publications, he compares the Christian Reggae
Industry with the Kingdom of Israel and himself
with "leaders like Moses and David". This
very serious and blasphemic teaching stands at the
cradle of Christafari and the "Gospel
Reggae" business.
Business?
Oh yes!
Christafari, as said, is no longer the only one
trying to get some place in the Christian
Industry. We have a complete "army" of
"christian soldiers" all screaming that
"Gospel Dancehall" and "Gospel
Reggae" is going to have "dominion"
over the
"secular" Dancehall and Reggae.
And so, well over a decade after Mohr started
to believe that he was called by "God"
to become the monopolist, he is now faced with the
reality that he was fooled. He was only used by
the powers behind the CCM Industry to start
another money-making enterprise: "Gospel
Reggae".
Our Lord and Saviour Yesus Kristos has said,
that the pharisees go on world tour in order to
make disciples worse than they themselves are:
“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make
one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him
twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.” (Matthew
23:15)
And so we see that the competition is not only
growing, it's going further away from anything
related to true Christianity than
Christafari.
