DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP

DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP

Some time ago, my wife and I got the vision to begin the School of Purpose and Influence (SPIN).


Even though I'm a lecturer, I didn't really know how to go about the vision.

While I understood some of the components that would go into it including the curriculum, vision, and objectives, etc., I was unclear about so many other things.


I was praying one day when God dropped the name of one of my friends in my spirit. She runs a successful academy with thousands of students. I shared it with my wife.


We didn't hesitate to reach out to her. We scheduled a zoom call straight away and discussed the vision of SPIN.

In less than two hours, everything became very clear. She graciously shared with us had the blueprint to kickstart the vision.


As I speak, the school is going strong with hundreds of students enrolled and over 20 volunteers.


Why am I sharing this with you?

So many of us have successful friends or people in our community but we are afraid to approach them and ask them for information, direction, or guidance.


Either, we are afraid of rejection or pridefully, believe we could do it all on our own.


If you are afraid of rejection, let me ask you, what is the worst that could happen?


They won't tell you what they know, right? That's not a loss, is it? You already don't know, so it can't get any worse. Don't let your pride get in the way.


Interestingly, most successful people are usually very willing to share what they know or mentor others.

If you are thinking about doing it all on your own, then be ready to go the hard, long, and boring way.


The reason God puts people ahead of us is so that we can learn the way because they've gone the way. Humble yourself and send them a message.


Fulfilling purpose is not a competitive but collaborative endeavour. God's purpose for you takes into account the relationships and people you would work with.


Let me mention, you may need to pay for the time of that successful person or serve them to get into their circle, but don't let that stop you.


Also, you might need to go through someone close to them to get their attention. Do it respectfully, and humbly too.



I believe in you.

No Golden Spoon, Yet Helped By God

May 5, 2025
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!
