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?

Are you an eagle in a cage?

September 8, 2025
Picture an eagle in a cage. No matter how beautiful the cage is, the eagle was not designed to live in a cage. It was designed to soar on the highest heights and mountains with courage and flair. No matter the lure of the cage, it can never surpass the freedom of the eagle soaring in all expanse of the skies in all of its glories and strength. Like the eagle trapped, too many brilliant, gifted, called individuals are trapped in the cage of careers they were not designed for. They can never command their true worth and value, they can only eat the crumbs they are being fed by their captors. The lure of salaries and pennies that will never satisfy keeps them in such cages. They would rather remain in the rat race than take the risks for their freedom and glory. The Bible says, "If the Son (Jesus) sets you free, you will be free indeed." - John 8:36 As a child of God, you can break free! You were not designed to be caged! Any job that does not give you the freedom to express your gifts, talents and calling is a cage. One of the biggest graveyards of purpose I see is this graveyard of unfulfilling careers. People get jobs only for the sake of earning, rather than fulfilling their life's calling and pursuing what matters to them. But here's the truth: The careers you were not designed for will not satisfy you. They will leave you with voids and emptiness. At the end of your career, you would lack true legacy, influence and impact. Your time to break free is now. I believe in you. Dr Samuel Ekundayo
