WHEN PEOPLE ENCOUNTER YOU, WHAT'S THEIR EXPERIENCE LIKE?

WHEN PEOPLE ENCOUNTER YOU, WHAT'S THEIR EXPERIENCE LIKE?

My wife and I went on a getaway for our eighth wedding anniversary recently, and we had lunch at a particular restaurant. It was an Indian restaurant.


The food was so amazing, it's been weeks since we came back, yet our tastebuds can't seem to forget the taste of that food.


We had the Indian butter chicken. While we have had several butter chicken dishes in our home city (Auckland), but there is something about that particular restaurant in Queenstown that got us hooked.

It was such an unforgettable experience, we're still reliving it.


Why am I sharing this with you?


When people encounter you, do you leave them with an unforgettable experience?

Or, have you become so common you have lost your uniqueness in the everyday struggles of the common man?


To lose your authenticity is to lose your value.


Every time people spend time with you, they must feel your authenticity. They must experience the uniqueness you carry.


You must leave them wanting more. Let them feel your purpose and passion shine through.

That way, they will keep telling others about you, and how you make them feel.


Here are some keys to help you:

1. Be yourself - don't try to copy or behave like anyone else.

2. Don't try to impress people, try to impact them instead.

3. Genuinely care for people, and put them first

4. Be selfless and sacrificial - give more than you take

5. Speak with grace on your lips.


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!
