GOD IS NOT SLOW - HE IS STRATEGIC

Wait On Him

When I moved to New Zealand at the age of 23 with nothing but a word from God, I had dreams burning in my heart.

But doors didn’t open immediately.

I faced rejection, financial hardship, even near-quit moments during my PhD.
But every “not yet” was really God saying, “I’m preparing you.”

Today, looking back, I see how His timing made all things fall into place—better than I ever imagined.

Why am I sharing this with you?

See, God is not slow—He is strategic.
Sometimes, what we call delay is actually divine timing.

We want things now, but God is more interested in you, in your growth, in your development, in your readiness for what you're asking for.

The Bible says, “He has made everything beautiful in its time…” (Ecclesiastes 3:11). That means beauty is tied to timing.

Let me say that again - beauty is tied to timing!

Beloved, you can't rush destiny. You can't hasten purpose. You can only submit to it - to the process.

You may feel overlooked, but heaven has your name on schedule.
You may feel late, but you’re right on time in God’s plan.
Wait well. Trust God deeply. Prepare quietly.

Purpose has a time. And when it’s time, no man can stop it.

I believe in you.

ALWAYS SEEK DIVINE CLARITY

You Need Clarity of Purpose

When Clarity is Blurry...

August 24, 2025
In 2017, I applied to speak at TEDx. Rejected. In 2018, I applied again. Rejected. In 2019, I applied twice—both times, again, rejected. But I didn’t stop. Why? Because I was stubborn about my purpose. Like the widow in Luke 18 who kept returning to the judge, pleading for justice, I kept showing up. I kept believing that one day, the door would open. Eventually, it did. That TEDx stage didn’t come because I was the most eloquent or the most visible—it came because I refused to give up. I’ve learnt that any success you desire in life will demand persistence. Not talent, not applause, not connections—persistence. When all else fails, try persistence. When clarity is blurry, try persistence. When the applause is absent and the doors are locked—try persistence. Seest thou a man diligent in his work? He shall stand before kings (Proverbs 22:29). If I could share one counsel with every dreamer, it would be this: Be stubborn about your purpose. Be relentless in your pursuit. For in due season, you will reap—if you faint not. I believe in you.
