Yesterday, the worship team at church sang “Nobody Greater” by Vashawn Mitchell, a song also known for the beautiful remix by Maverick City Music. I’ve heard it many times before, but yesterday it moved me to tears. It hit my heart in a way I hadn’t felt before. Now I understand why, when we were kids, certain songs would make the adults around us break down crying, The music spoke to their struggles and everything they had overcome. And this song spoke to mine.
The song opens with the lyrics, “I climbed up to the highest mountain, looked around and couldn’t find nobody. Went down into the deepest valley, looked all around down there, couldn’t find nobody.” The chorus continues, “Searched all over, couldn’t find nobody… Looked high and low, still couldn’t find nobody, nobody greater than you.” It serves as a moving testimony that resonates with my experiences studying or engaging with other religious beliefs.
From exploring Egyptology and Greek philosophies to poking my nose in Jehovah Witness, Muslim, Islam, Buddhism, studying with Hebrew Israelites, and many other beliefs out there. I was on a journey to find the one true living God. Over time, I realized that these paths all had similar traits: self-reliance, no sin reconciliation, no accountability for wrongdoing, an easy route, and false promises of paradise while often dismissing the reality of hell. They were all waiting on the messiah and did not believe he had already come to be the sin offering. With everything I went through, only the supernatural power of God could truly set me free. This freedom comes through Jesus Christ. Accepting Him brings liberation, but the key is to believe in Him and hold Him in high esteem!
Thankfully, each time the Lord pulled me out of the meddling I was doing. The last time, my sister Jacquese’s prayers were answered, and through her as a vessel, He rescued me once again! Not only did He rescue me, but He also spoke to my heart, and I heard Him through dreams. God knew the intent of my heart and that I was earnestly seeking to know Him for myself. Unfortunately, the seek lands us in some of the weirdest predicaments. If you have a family member or a friend that is trapped in false religions don’t stop praying. Never stop praying, even if those around you tell you to give up. Gods’ mercy is truly unmatched. It endures forever. Always remember he left the 99 for the 1.
No other religion or path of self-freedom has brought me the peace of mind I receive from our Father through Jesus. Listening to “Nobody Greater” on Sunday reminded me that, after all my searching, there is no one greater than the Creator. There’s no better offer than a clean slate, a renewed mind, and eternal life through Jesus. No healing power compares, and there’s no one else worth enduring to the end for. He gave His life for us.
Below, I will link the song for you to listen to. Share a song that represents something you’ve overcome.
