WHAT IF THEY UNDERVALUE ME?
The reason why many people are not entering into their purpose is that they're asking:
What if others overlook or undervalue me?
They have not started yet but this is their "if" for not starting.
They are helping people contemplate their own value in their minds and as a result, they are stuck!
If you are one of these people, I want to encourage you to quit this habit right away!
Listen, do you know the story of David, in the Bible?
He was overlooked and undervalued by his own father and brothers - his family, to simply put.
They never thought he was fit to be king! They didn't even call him to the anointing service. Can you imagine?
Nobody thought he would amount to anything. In fact, they gave him a suicide assignment - which is to look after a flock of sheep in the wild, where Lions and Bears play.
What kind of family love is that?
I don't know if you are that overlooked or undervalued. If you are, then you must learn from David and study his life.
David did not let that deter him from purpose.
From my study, there are 5 principles we can learn from how David dealt with the situation:
1. While he was been undervalued, he kept on serving! Service was his lifestyle. He was developing himself and refining his gifts, skills, and character.
2. He was even picking up new skills - he played the harp so much, it took him to the palace!
3. He was faithful to the task. He wouldn't even let a Lion or Bear take one single sheep! So much dedication!
4. He was humble. Even when he was anointed, he returned to his duty post! WOW! What a heart!
5. He allowed God to be the judge of the situation. He didn't take laws into his own hands. He didn't hate his family or try to hurt them.
So, which of these principles are you doing to start putting to work from today?
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!
