The Kind of People You Should Keep Off

Let's get real for a second.


We've all got people in our lives who can be, well, draining. And I'm not just talking about the occasional bad day or misunderstanding. I'm talking about the folks who consistently bring us down, make us feel bad about ourselves, and hinder our growth.


You know who I'm talking about - the lovers of self, who only care about themselves, their needs, and their feelings. Newsflash: we all need a little self-love, but not at the expense of others! Then there are the lovers of money, who prioritize wealth and material possessions above all else. Remember, money can't buy happiness or true friendship!


And don't even get me started on the boastful and proud, who constantly brag and look down on others. Humility is key, folks! We also need to be cautious of those who are abusive and toxic, who hurt us physically, emotionally, or verbally. No one deserves to be treated this way - ever! And let's not forget those who are disobedient to their parents, spiritual and biological, who refuse to listen, learn from, and respect their elders.


But that's not all - we also need to watch out for the ungrateful, who never say thank you, never appreciate the little things, and always expect more. Gratitude is a game-changer! And finally, there are the selfish, who only think of themselves, their needs, and their desires. We all need a little self-care, but not at the expense of others!


Here's the thing: we can't pour from an empty cup. We need to surround ourselves with people who uplift, support, and inspire us to be our best selves. So, take a close look at your inner circle.


Are there any toxic relationships that need a little pruning? Let's focus on nurturing the good stuff and cutting off the bad.

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!
