SUCCESS LEAVES CLUES
One of the things that have helped me a lot in life is those I surround myself with.
Some years ago, I surrounded myself with people who have no idea about their purpose in life.
So, none of our discussions had anything to do with purpose, making an impact, or pursuing the kingdom of God.
We were always talking about becoming rich or making more money, getting a better/bigger job, and buying properties.
Now, my circle has changed. My friends consist of people we want to fulfill purpose together, win souls together, and pursue God's kingdom together.
As a result, my motivation and drive for life have gotten better and I live every day charged up to fulfill my purpose.
Why am I sharing this with you?
If you want to do great things in life, surround yourself with others who are doing great things too.
The people you constantly talk to and see will have an effect on the direction of your life, whether you like it or not.
What you are beholding consistently, is what you will eventually become.
The language you speak daily, you will soon become fluent at it. If it's the language of failures, you will soon be speaking fluent failure! If it's the language of success, you will soon become fluent at it.
When you surround yourself with great people, you either start to feel like you're not doing enough, your life wasting away, or that you could do more.
Trust me, those are great feelings, as long as they prompt you to action and not depression.
If you have been feeling this way, now is the time to swing to action.
Don't be ashamed to ask that friend of yours who is an achiever their secret to success.
When you ask them, please don't just be curious, be determined to apply whatever secret they share with you.
See, success leaves clues. If you want to be successful, learn what successful people are doing, learn the principles, and begin to live by them.
If you don't desire to be successful, check your friends or circle!
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!
