YOUR REAL GOAT IN 2023
Until recently, referring to someone as a goat was an insult and so it is, still, in its original context. However, popularized by Hip Hop and perfected in use by football lovers, the acronym, Goat, has come to stand for the Greatest Of All of Time within professional fields. “The Goat” has become a contextual argument, but recently about who may be the Greatest of All Time in various fields especially football.
Zooming in on football, the Goat in football is still controversial. Lovers of football are divided as to who is the Goat in football. The argument is unending whether it is Pele, Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi or C. Ronaldo who is the goat. Among these footballers, Pele seemed to be popularly favoured because he is the only champion to have won three world cups for his country Brazil but unfortunately, he just died of Colon Cancer at age 82.
My question is, who is the Real Goat among the human family? In other words, putting all professions and fields together, who is the Real Goat?
Before sin entered the world, there was no need for the Greatest of All Time among humanity. However, after the fall of mankind, God the Father defined the Greatest of All Time among the seed of Eve when God said, in relation to cursing the serpent who lured Eve into eating the forbidden tree, “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.” (Gen 3:15) (NKJV).
The “He” in “He shall bruise your head” refers to the Greatest of All Time among humans Who will bring an end to sorrow, pains, troubles and disappointment by crushing the serpent’s head—Satan. The Real Greatest of All Time is Jesus Christ, the Man-God Who died on the cross to redeem mankind from eternal death. Do not let these professional Goats distract you from believing in the Real Greatest Of All Time Jesus Christ of Nazareth (John 3:16).
“If our greatest need had been information, God would have, from heaven above, sent us an educator; Had it been technology, God would have sent us a scientist; Money, an economist; Pleasure, an entertainer; But our greatest need was forgiveness, so God sent us a Savior, the Man-God Jesus Christ.” The Real GOAT (Greatest of All Time) is not the one who can eat oat and wear a neat coat but the One Who defeated Satan to fulfill God’s oath—Jesus Christ. God bless you.
