STAY COMMITTED

STAY COMMITTED

Recently, I hosted the graduation ceremony of a Bootcamp put together by a mentor of mine, Sir Fela Durotoye.


I realised while over a 100 people started the programme, despite the qualification for graduation being 80% attendance, only about 70 people graduated.


After giving this some thoughts, I realise, our generation is suffering from a disease called lack of commitment.


Why am I sharing this with you?


I need you to realise, there is a stark difference between intention and commitment.


It’s not enough to want your life to change.

It’s not enough to want to do great things.

It’s not enough to want good things...


You must commit to the process. Intentions don’t make inventions, commitments do.


If you are never committed to anything, your life will be void of result, and will be full of abandoned projects.

This is why many people never get to complete or finish anything they start. They lack staying power

.

Intentions alone won’t make you a good husband or wife,

Intentions alone won’t make you a better student,

Intentions alone won’t help you grow or fulfill purpose.


Your intentions, have to got be backed up by determination and commitment to the process.


For that change or improvement you want to see next in your life, I hope you will be determined enough to commit to the process till the change you desire happens.


If this post has helped you, please let me know in the comments.


I believe in you.

Your Breakthrough Is Worth The Wait

September 29, 2025
Not long ago, my wife and I went to a restaurant for brunch. We ordered something simple; pancakes and French toast. Within minutes, our plates arrived. But there was a couple seated nearby who had ordered a grand wooden platter filled with all sorts of delicacies. They waited much longer. When their food finally came, everyone in the restaurant turned and whispered “Wow!” They had this sizzling whole fish platter that I had never seen before in my life. That day, I learnt a truth: nothing “Wow” comes quick. Beloved, maybe you’re in a season where it looks like others are being served before you. Their careers are moving faster, their prayers seem answered sooner, their dreams unfolding while you’re still waiting. But remember this: waiting is not wasting. God is not late; He is preparing something bigger, something weightier, something that will make others say, “Wow, only God could have done this.” Hebrews 10:37 says, “He who is coming will come and will not delay.” Delay doesn’t mean denial. Waiting is God’s way of maturing you for what He is bringing or maturing what He is bringing for you. So hold on. Your platter is being prepared. And when it arrives, it will have been worth the wait. I believe in you. Dr Samuel Ekundayo | The Purpose Preacher

Are you an eagle in a cage?

September 8, 2025
Picture an eagle in a cage. No matter how beautiful the cage is, the eagle was not designed to live in a cage. It was designed to soar on the highest heights and mountains with courage and flair. No matter the lure of the cage, it can never surpass the freedom of the eagle soaring in all expanse of the skies in all of its glories and strength. Like the eagle trapped, too many brilliant, gifted, called individuals are trapped in the cage of careers they were not designed for. They can never command their true worth and value, they can only eat the crumbs they are being fed by their captors. The lure of salaries and pennies that will never satisfy keeps them in such cages. They would rather remain in the rat race than take the risks for their freedom and glory. The Bible says, "If the Son (Jesus) sets you free, you will be free indeed." - John 8:36 As a child of God, you can break free! You were not designed to be caged! Any job that does not give you the freedom to express your gifts, talents and calling is a cage. One of the biggest graveyards of purpose I see is this graveyard of unfulfilling careers. People get jobs only for the sake of earning, rather than fulfilling their life's calling and pursuing what matters to them. But here's the truth: The careers you were not designed for will not satisfy you. They will leave you with voids and emptiness. At the end of your career, you would lack true legacy, influence and impact. Your time to break free is now. I believe in you. Dr Samuel Ekundayo
