SEEK YE FIRST...

SEEK YE FIRST

Not too long ago, I was talking to my wife. I said, "Dear, do you realise our prayer points have changed lately?"

"How do you mean?" She asked. I told her that we no longer pray for a bigger salary or a bigger car or more money. She affirmed.

What's changed? I realised since we became more focused on fulfilling the Purpose of God for our lives, our desires have soon changed.

Our minds are no longer set on "things". We no longer lust after them. Every single day we wake up, it's the desire to make an impact in people's lives that fills our hearts.

It's not like we don't wish for those things but they have become of less priority in our lives.

Nowadays, we're always talking about what to do to add value to people, help them fulfill purpose, and expand the kingdom of God with our gifts and resources.

Why am I sharing this with you?

The principles of God are everlasting. His words are true, even if heaven and earth pass away.

He said in His Word, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added to you". [Matthew 6:33]

If our preoccupation is the Kingdom, then our needs will be met by Him.

I've come to realise when a man is busy with Kingdom business, he doesn't need to pray about his daily bread.

The Bible also says, "You shall serve the LORD your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you." [Exo 23:25].

When you serve God and His will for your life, He will take care of your bread, water, and health. The key to Kingdom blessings is service!

I want to challenge you to serve this faithful God. He is true to His word. I have seen it in my life and family.

Consistently follow His will, plans, and purpose for your life, and watch how your prayer points too will change.

I believe in you.

I hope this post has helped 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!
