OUR JOB IS TO RESPOND TO HIM

OUR JOB IS TO RESPOND TO HIM

I took my boys to their soccer training recently and just as they were about to finish, I noticed another coach setting up the pitch before his team arrived.


He must have arrived earlier than them. He was setting up the cones, goalposts, and everything they would use for the training.


I could feel his passion to have everything ready before His team arrived. He has made the provision without them even knowing about it.


He has the entire training sorted in His mind and was making sure the reality matched what he had in mind by the time his team arrived so they can enjoy the training.


I made a realisation that I would like to share with you...


That coach is like God in our lives.

Way before we arrived on the scene, He had been on the scene, setting up, making provisions so we can have an enjoyable experience.


This is what some of us do not know.


God is very much interested in how we live our lives and He's had His purpose for us sorted way before we were born.


All the things we need,

All the provisions we need,

All the materials we need,

All the gifts and talents we need,

He's sorted before we arrive.


Our job is to listen to Him. Our job is to follow Him. Our job is to respond to Him. Our job is to follow His plans and leading.


If we do this, our lives will be smooth.


If we decide to do our own thing, we forfeit His plans for our lives.


A life that forfeits God's plans will struggle and be frustrated. But a life that aligns with and to His purpose, enjoys the miracle of living fully!


So, what is your choice today?


Do you believe God has made provision for you before you arrived on the scene or are you struggling to make provisions for yourself?


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!
