IF MONEY WASN'T A FACTOR, WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH YOUR LIFE?

IF MONEY WASN'T A FACTOR, WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH YOUR LIFE?

A pastor friend of mine made a post on Instagram recently asking people this question - "if money wasn't a factor, what would you do with your life?"

I saw the post and The Purpose Preacher in me wouldn't let me go without reading some of the comments.

I scanned through the comments and I realise money was not the problem for many people; many of them lacked purpose and were full of fears.

Why am I sharing this with you?

You see, money is good, and surely, "money answers all things", says the Bible but money is not everything you need to prosper and succeed in life.

The first thing you need is PURPOSE!

When you know God's purpose for your life, you know what to be passionate about. You know what to give your attention and time to. You live for dominion instead of survival.

The second thing you need is FAITH

See, many people are just using money as an excuse not to lift a finger in chase of their dreams. They wake up and the excuse on their lips is "if I had money now, I would have applied to Harvard". Excuse me, have you at least found out the requirements to apply to Harvard first? Do you know what Harvard is looking for?

If you do, then put your WILL POWER to work and make that application. Trust God and have faith. Just as money is a currency on earth, faith is a currency in heaven! In other words, faith with God just as money works with men! With faith, you can ask God for anything!

The third thing you need is GROWTH

Your life is capped by the level of your growth! Growth is the only guarantee you will make it in life. If you are never growing or don't have a plan to grow, nothing will become yours.

Whatever God has created you to be, you will have to become it. God's part is done, your part is what's left. God's part is settled, your part requires your commitment to growth and learning.

God doesn't do magic, He only does miracles. His miracles require your involvement in putting to work His principles.

So, stop using money as an excuse! You have more than what it takes to deliver your dreams and purpose.

God is counting on you, and earth awaits your manifestation. 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!
