CHOOSE TO EXPAND

One day, on my flight to Brisbane, Australia, something happened that taught me a big lesson.


As we were taking our seats, one of the hostesses made an announcement that FREE WIFI was available on board and that there are instructions to access it right in the pocket of the seat in front of us.


I found the instructions and keyed the details in and straight up I got access to the WIFI. I was able to watch a LIVE football match, chat with my wife, and so on.


The shocking thing was, that was probably my 8th time on a Virgin Australian flight that same year and had no idea I could use free WIFI on it.


I am sure the same announcement was made on all the flights I boarded but I just didn’t pay attention enough to avail myself of the opportunity.


Many of us have information that could potentially change our lives around us. Some of them are even free but we just never pay attention or avail ourselves of them.


We tune off from the important people, programs, books, seminars, church messages, that could potentially change our lives yet have no idea.


Attention is one of the greatest commodities in life. What you give your attention to can determine your destiny.


I want to challenge you to look around you with intentionality, and pay attention to the things that matter.

Give attention to them, and avail yourself of the opportunities around you.


Refuse to be comfortable with what you know, and where you are now.

Choose to stretch. Choose to grow. Choose to expand your horizon.


Start reading the books on your shelf.

Start buying more books to read.

Start subscribing to podcasts.

Start attending webinars and seminars that will enrich you.


Befriend people of value who would add value to you.


Change your environment to match where God is taking you.


Give attention to the things that matter.


I believe in you.

Looking at my life today, some might assume I was born with a golden spoon in my mouth. They see the progress, the platforms, the opportunities, the impact—and they conclude, “He must have had it all figured out from the start.” But here’s the truth... I wasn’t born with a golden spoon. In fact, I wasn’t even born with a spoon at all. The circumstances surrounding my birth were far from rosy. My beginning was rough, humble, and almost forgettable by the standards of this world. There was nothing to suggest that I would one day stand where I stand today, speak as I speak today, or do what I do today. But I was helped. I was helped by God. That’s the only reason I’ve come this far. And that, dear friend, is why I’m writing this—to remind you that it doesn’t matter where or how you were born . Your background, no matter how limiting or disadvantaged, cannot stop God’s plan for your life. You may not have had the best education. You may have been born into poverty. You may have been rejected, neglected, abandoned or overlooked. But when God steps into your life , He rewrites the story. He is not intimidated by your limitations. In fact, He specializes in using the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. He lifts the poor from the dust and sets them among princes (Psalm 113:7-8). You don’t need a silver spoon, golden spoon, or any spoon at all. All you need is His help . My life is a testament to this truth: God still helps men. He still lifts. He still promotes. He still turns nobodies into wonders. And I believe the same will happen for you. If you will let Him, If you will trust Him, If you will surrender your life to Him… You will become a miracle. You will become a wonder. Your story will be one that generations will talk about. So here’s my charge to you: Stop disqualifying yourself based on your background. Stop underestimating what God can do through you. Stop comparing your journey with someone else’s. Instead, start seeking God’s help. Start walking in faith. Start declaring His promises over your life. Because your story—yes, YOUR story—is not over yet. In fact, it’s just beginning. You are next in line for a miracle. I believe in you!
