LIVE FULLY AND DIE EMPTY
Do you know that 80% of people on their deathbeds wish they had done more with their lives?
They wish they had done more, loved more, became more, given more, and impacted more people,.
As soon as it's announced to them that they are about to die, they start to regret not doing enough with their lives.
---
Without being unnecessarily morbid, I want to challenge you today, please don't wait till you're about to die before you start doing more with your life.
Don't wait till when it's a few days to go and then you start impacting your world and trying to make a mark.
Begin today! Start NOW!
Now is the accepted time, today is the day of salvation.
Even if you are still on the journey of purpose discovery, begin to do something with your gifts and talents.
Start small. You don't have to be great to start but you have to start to be great.
Start adding value to people every single day.
Decide that you will not die ordinary. decide that your life would count.
Decide that you will live fully and die empty; that you will not add to the wealth of the grave.
The world is waiting for your manifestation and God is counting on you.
I believe in you.
- Dr. Samuel Ekundayo | The Purpose Preacher.
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!
