This Can Make You Loose Everything

Today, I'd like to talk about something that can sneak up on us and steal everything we hold dear—pride!


Pride is like a thief in the night; it can creep in unnoticed and rob us of our relationships, our joy, and even our connection with God. And the scary thing is, we often don't even realize it's happening until it's too late.


But here's the thing: pride is anti-God. When we let pride take the wheel, we're essentially saying that we know better than God, that we can handle things on our own without His help. And that's just not true. God is the one who gives us life, who gives us breath, and who gives us purpose. When we let pride in, we're pushing Him out.


So, what does pride look like in our lives? It can look like an inflated sense of self-importance, a need to always be right, or a refusal to listen to others. It can also look like competition, comparison, and criticism. And if we're not careful, pride can lead to damaged relationships, missed opportunities, and even lost dreams.


But there's hope! We can overcome pride by recognizing the signs in our lives, humbling ourselves, and asking for help. We can choose to listen to others, to learn from their perspectives, and to walk in kindness and empathy. And most importantly, we can choose to surrender our pride to God, and let Him be the one to guide us.


So, let's kick pride to the curb and build stronger, more loving relationships - with God and with each other!

ALWAYS SEEK DIVINE CLARITY

You Need Clarity of Purpose

When Clarity is Blurry...

August 24, 2025
In 2017, I applied to speak at TEDx. Rejected. In 2018, I applied again. Rejected. In 2019, I applied twice—both times, again, rejected. But I didn’t stop. Why? Because I was stubborn about my purpose. Like the widow in Luke 18 who kept returning to the judge, pleading for justice, I kept showing up. I kept believing that one day, the door would open. Eventually, it did. That TEDx stage didn’t come because I was the most eloquent or the most visible—it came because I refused to give up. I’ve learnt that any success you desire in life will demand persistence. Not talent, not applause, not connections—persistence. When all else fails, try persistence. When clarity is blurry, try persistence. When the applause is absent and the doors are locked—try persistence. Seest thou a man diligent in his work? He shall stand before kings (Proverbs 22:29). If I could share one counsel with every dreamer, it would be this: Be stubborn about your purpose. Be relentless in your pursuit. For in due season, you will reap—if you faint not. I believe in you.
