WILL YOU STILL PRAISE HIM?

WILL YOU STILL PRAISE HIM?

Some weeks ago, I put in an application for an opportunity I so looked forward to.

I prayed, sought the face of God, and did all I possibly could, including preparing well before, during, and after my application.


But I didn't get the opportunity.


When I was called about it today, I was disappointed. I cried. It was very painful.


Amidst the tears and disappointment, I looked up and realised God is faithful regardless.

I have since wiped my tears and been singing because the one who holds the future is still my God.


He knows what's best for me,

He won't deny me what is mine,

He is my father and He loves me no matter what I get or didn't get.


This is my testimony today.


I won't only thank God for when things go well, I will praise Him even for the things that do not go well.

My testimony and story are not complete without the disappointments and rejections, because they are blessings too.

 

 

So, Lord, I give you praise!


I worship you because you know what's best for me.


The same I would have rejoiced, and shared with the world how good you are if I got the opportunity, I have decided to share how faithful you are even in rejection.


YOU ARE STILL GOOD. YOU ARE STILL GOD! I PRAISE YOU!


Why am I sharing this with you?

No, it's not to seek your pity, and it's not that you will be sorry for me but that you will praise God with me.

And that you will also realise that you too can praise God in disappointments, in loss, in rejections, in failure, in what seems like a drowning or overwhelming situation. He is a loving and faithful father, and He knows what's best for you.


So, will you still praise Him?

No Golden Spoon, Yet Helped By God

May 5, 2025
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!
