DON'T GIVE UP

DON'T GIVE UP

One day, I got a revelation from God for a video post for my social media platforms.


I remember running to my wife, and telling her that, I believe that the uniqueness of the revelation was going to make the video go viral.


I made the video, spent a few hours making it awesome - adding extra stock videos here and there, making the graphics pop, and effects glow.


To my utmost shock, the video only got 50 views on Facebook, no comment, and just 15 likes! LORD OF MERCY! I nearly cried!


I was convinced, something must be wrong with Facebook. I looked over at the one on Instagram, and the result wasn't far apart. WHAT?!!!


I mean, I put so much into the making of the video, not only that, the message was apt, the revelation from God was everything!


I mean, couldn't people see?! Didn't anyone catch the revelation? But my wife caught it, nau?!


Do you feel me?


Why am I sharing this with you?


I know you got that deep revelation or message from God and you knew it would take the world by storm yet no one bought into it.


I knew you have read so many books to write that one article or post you thought everyone would share and it would go viral, and it is as if only blind people read it.


I know... I've been there!


Listen, if the only thing that excites you about delivering your message to the world is the way the world accepts it, you will always be in pain.


If you judge the effectiveness of your purpose and message by how many likes and comments it gets on social media, you will miss your calling.


If Facebook existed during the time of Jesus, I am very sure He won't get any likes on His posts. I am so sure the Algorithms of that day would not have favoured the message that people need to repent for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.


Why then do you trivialise your calling and reduce it to the conditioning of 'likes' on social media.

Yes, I feel and I get you, but it would be too myopic to think your message is not effective or your purpose is not valid because social media doesn't embrace it.


Let me shock you - studies have shown that 80% of the people who consume your post don't respond to it. Yes, 80% of them, read it, get inspired or blessed, and never like or comment.


If you quit because you didn't see their comments or likes, you will deny many people of all that God wants to do through you.


If you give up because you only saw 5 likes and 2 comments, you will fail God and your generation.


My point - "do not grow weary of doing good, for in due season you will reap, if you do not give up - Galatians 6:9. Do not grow tired, weary, or discouraged. People are getting inspired, blessed, and challenged.

Keep writing. Keep posting. Keep sharing. God is watching your faithfulness, and people are getting blessed even if they are not commenting.

 

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!
