YOU TOO CAN RE-WRITE YOUR STORY

My father in the Lord, Pastor David Adelowo often says, that if traveling overseas and being successful is being sprinkled like water on people, it wouldn't have touched him and his siblings, if not for God's mercies.

He grew up in poverty and the few opportunities he had growing up, he had to struggle for them.


He stayed with a relative of his whose kids were traveling overseas almost every year yet, while he watched his cousins go for summer holidays overseas to nations of the world, he never got the opportunity to even step on a plane.


Today, he is successful, serving God and empowering many others.


Why am I sharing this with you?


It is possible that you were born poor.


It's very possible that you were abandoned and rejected by your parents.


It's possible that no one liked you growing up and no one cared for you.


It's very possible you grew up wishing you never came to this world.


Whatever permutation and combination life had for you when you came into this world, I am glad to announce to you that they do not count when it comes to who you will turn out to become.


Your success has been predestined, irrespective of your past.


The world was designed for people who believe they can rewrite their own story. You too can rewrite your story.


History is laden with men and women who chose to defile the horrors of their background and refuse to lay their backs on the ground.


Men and women who chose to take responsibility for their lives and not blame anyone for their predicaments.


Jesus was born in a manger but He didn't let the manger define His life. He was determined to fulfil His purpose here on earth.


You too change rise up and beat the limitations of your past, usurp the pains of your upbringing and defile the shame of your background.


Your purpose is more valuable than your past. Don't let your past divorce you from the future God has for you.


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!
