PROVISION FOLLOWS EVERY VISION
I was taking a workshop a while back and a lady in the audience asked me a question. She said, "I know the purpose of God for my life but I can't follow it now because it cannot pay the bills. I don't want to become poor".
While I understand the genuineness of her question, I couldn't help but see through her ignorance.
Why am I sharing this with you?
Are you one of those people who believe that following the purpose of God will impoverish you?
I mean, you feel if you abandon everything and follow God, do you think God is not faithful enough to showcase His glory in your life?
Trust me, this is a question on the lips of many people.
I used to have this question too until I made a discovery that changed my life.
Peter asked Jesus a very important question in Mark 10:28. He said, "Excuse me, sir, "we have given up everything to follow you, what are we going to get?"
The answer Jesus gave is worth studying. He said, "There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life." [Mark 10:29-30]
God's promise is that if you pursue His kingdom, you will be both earthly and eternally rewarded.
No one follows God to become wretched and hungry.
Provision follows every vision God has given you.
While you will suffer persecution in His name for abandoning everything to follow Him because the world would not understand, be rest assured that God is faithful. He will never leave you nor forsake you.
That's why He said, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you".
God wants to give you all that pertains to life and godliness but He requires that you follow Him fully, and wholeheartedly, without doubting His faithfulness in your life.
This is your word.
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!
