COME OFF THAT HIGH HORSE

COME OFF THAT HIGH HORSE
Recently, I bought some quite pricey shoes.
My wife saw them and she couldn't believe I bought them myself.
You see, in the past, I would often query why people buy and wear expensive shoes.
I would say things like "would it help them get to heaven?" I would even say "I can never buy those kinds of shoes" whereas deep down, I loved them.
Unfortunately, at the time, I didn't realise it was because I couldn't afford them. I was hating on them because I could not afford them.
Now that I can, I see no wrong in them; and I'm almost getting addicted (says my wife) lol.
Why am I sharing this with you?
Could you be hating on the life you desire because you can't afford it yet?
Some people hate rich people because deep down, they want to be rich but they've abandoned their dreams.
Some people hate happy people because deep down they want to be happy but they don't know how to.
Listen, stop hating and start learning.
Whatever you desire deep down is still possible.
Learn to celebrate the people who have it now and pay the price to sit at their feet to learn.
Stop being a hater and start being a learner.
No one makes it hating on other people. Fulfilment doesn't come through hate or competition, it comes through humility and servitude.
The life you want is not farfetched, your pride and ego are the problems.
Your fulfilment and happiness are possible if you only you would come off your high horse.
Yes, you can!
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!
