HOW DO YOU WANT YOUR DAY TO GO?

HOW DO YOU WANT YOUR DAY TO GO?
Last Sunday, my eldest son was excited when I came into their room that morning.
He said with excitement, "Daddy, it's going to be a good day today".
Stunned by the proclamation, I asked him why he said so, and he said...
"Daddy, today, my teacher will give me a price for memorising and reading Psalm 23, and also, Uncle Joshua (his favourite uncle) will be acting".
I laughed but I learned a lesson I want to share with you.
The boy had decided that no matter what, that day was going to be a good day, even before anything happened!
I had an epiphany! How your day would be is your choice!
If you decide it would be a great day in advance, nothing can change that.
External things cannot control if you are internally determined.
I can almost hear you ask, "what if bad things happen? What if your boy's teacher forgets to give him his price or his favourite uncle refused to act?"
I believe the declaration he made into his day was enough to save him from those disappointments.
I have since started practicing it. I decide every day that I'm going to have a great day, no matter what.
I am going to add value to people, no matter what. I am going to inspire someone, no matter what.
You too can make that decision early every day! Decide and make a choice of how you want your day to go.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue!
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!
