WHAT DO PEOPLE COME TO YOU FOR?

WHAT DO PEOPLE COME TO YOU FOR?
No one is born a mistake. In fact, your existence is proof you’re needed. There is something you’ve been tasked to do, a problem you were born to solve, a need you’re equipped to meet.
The real glory of our existence is not in the luxurious things we own or have, it’s in doing what we have been tasked to do, solving the problems we’re born to solve and meeting the needs of our generation.
You are as valuable to your generation as the solutions you bring to the problems in it. If you fail to birth forth God’s purpose for your life, you will live ordinary and die with your potentials untapped.
My question to you in this post is: WHAT DO PEOPLE COME TO YOU FOR?
What is that specific theme, area, niche, need, problem that people come to you to help them solve or shed light on?
– Have you found it? If you have, what are you doing about it?
– If you haven’t, what are you doing to find it?
The Bible says “you are the light of the world” [Matthew 5:14]. That problem you were born to solve is the light you carry in a dark world. The need you’re equipped to meet is the solution you carry in this chaotic world.
Let me say that again in plain English – you are a light in this dark world but until you choose to shine, YOUR WORLD will remain dark.
The reason it appears you are in obscurity, and no one is noticing you or appear to even care if you exist is because you have refused to shine your light. You have refused to give expression to the purpose of God for your life.
Purpose gives God expression in your life. And God is THE LIGHT. No wonder the Bible says, “And THE LIGHT shines in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not. [John 1:5].
I love how The Message Bible says it – “The Life-Light blazed out of the darkness; the darkness couldn’t put it out”. Hear this, no one can block your shine or put you out if you are fulfilling God’s purpose for your life.
A purposeful man or woman isn’t just beaming ordinary light. You are shining THE LIGHT! God is THE LIGHT – the one expressing Himself through you.
And no one shines THE LIGHT and remain ordinary! You become more than conquerors. You become a force to reckon with.
Again, what are people coming to you for? What problem are you born to solve? What are you doing about it?

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!
