DON'T WASTE YOUR EXISTENCE
Earlier today I was chatting to a colleague of mine at work.
After telling her I'm about to publish my second book this year, she asked, "WOW! Where did you get the time?"
Before I responded, she said, "I write poetry too and I enjoy writing them".
I was quick to ask, "do you publish them anywhere?" and she said, "No, I don't think they are good enough to be published".
The conversation went on about why she thought they were not good enough, and then I realised, she was being held back by what people think.
Why am I sharing this with you?
See, until you are delivered from the 'what would people think' syndrome, you will never fulfill God's purpose for your life.
That colleague of mine, I told her, "I wish you knew how many destinies are connected to you sharing your poetry with the world". If only she had any idea.
It's selfishness to hold back from sharing your message, your story, your pains, your gifts with the world. In fact, the Bible calls it wickedness.
Enough is enough letting what people would think to hold you back!
If you have to get a coach to break free from that limitation, do so!
If you have to get a mentor to help you break free, ask God for one.
You cannot afford to go to the grave and allow your story to be buried with you unheard.
You cannot afford to die unfulfilled.
You cannot afford to die selfish with your song inside you.
Don't waste your existence!
There are people waiting to find hope from your story, from your message, don't deny them.
Generations are calling! The world needs you!
Allow me to scream these words into your ears:
Your story is good enough.
Your poetry is good to go!
Your song can make the studio!
Your book can still be written.
Don't let what people would say or think hold you back.
Be delivered today in Jesus' name. Somebody who has just been delivered, say AMEN?!
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!
