Michael Jackson, a childhood star that became a walking legend by leaps and bounds because of the moves he made. As a child he rocked the world and stole the hearts of girls during his time. His music, his childhood innocence, and his ability to win the world made him the greatest performer in the music industry. He revolutionized music and earned the title “King of Pop”.
When Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 came on the scene they were an instant success. At that time I was a few years older than Michael Jackson and wondered what does he know about love and not to mention asking a girl to give him one more chance. But his high pitch boy-like voice, the lyrics of ABC, and the moves of an up and coming star did nothing but send a power surge of energy throughout the world. He was hot! During this era where racial tension and prejudices were high, Michael Jackson was able to penetrate the atmosphere with his God given talent and sing his way into the hearts of mankind.

Michael’s life took many turns throughout his career and the moves that he made on stage were none to compare to the moves made off stage. What man or woman does on stage gives him or her an opportunity to live out a dream, a fantasy, or even a personality that wants to come out from the imagination of that mind. But what we do offstage, when we leave the office, when we go home and shut the door, the decisions, or moves we make determines the course our lives will take. This sets forth the name that we establish for ourselves. At the end of the day the conclusion of the matter and all that has been done will be culminated into our name.
Mankind has always been given a free will by its Creator, the Almighty God. In His creation He made us a living soul and when He breathed the breath of life, His spirit, in us He gave us a conscious. “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” (Genesis 2:7) This separates us from the animal kingdom. This conscious(ness) tells us when we are right or wrong, displaying behavior of good, bad, or evil. We have from the very foundation of this world within us the ability to choose the course of our lives. In Deuteronomy 30:19 it says “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:” The Almighty Elohim, the supreme Being, in His infinite wisdom put before us the will. This will is the will to choose. This will allows us to make the moves that determine our destiny and dictate to our purpose. This determines the legacy that we leave and it will show forth the character and integrity that we have chosen for our name by the moves that we make. But He is so glorious that He tells us what the right choice is for us to make. This choice is His will and this choice will give us life here in the earth and life eternal where our souls shall live throughout eternity. That choice is salvation through Jesus Christ. He did not want us to make a mistake and choose the wrong move. When we choose Christ that is the last move that we make and from that point forward it is His will that is in motion. What will be your last move? The choice is yours.
Our hearts are before the Lord in prayer for the family of Michael Jackson and that the peace of God and His comfort that is here in the Holy Spirit will comfort and care for his family and his loved ones.
