YOUR PURPOSE IS VALID

YOUR PURPOSE IS VALID!
I saw something in the Bible today that really touched me.
Let me share with you because I know it will help you too.
You see, I was studying Matthew chapter 3, where Jesus came to John the Baptist for Him to be baptised.
Before Jesus arrived at the scene, John had been telling people about Jesus saying,
"I baptize with water those who repent of their sins and turn to God. But someone is coming soon who is greater than I am—so much greater that I’m not worthy even to be his slave and carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire" [v11]
When Jesus got to the river and saw John, he asked to be baptised.
John recognised him and said, "I am the one who needs to be baptised by you.. so why are you coming to me?"
Jesus' answer is worth studying for months. He said, "It should be done, for we must carry out all that God requires" [v15].
Jesus was simply saying, "This is out of our hands, it has been ordained for you to baptise me. It's your purpose and I can't carry out my own purpose if you don't do yours".
WOW! Did you catch that?
No one's purpose is insignificant!
Let me say that again! Your purpose is very valid! Your purpose is very significant and crucial.
From today, never ever look down on yourself or think your life does not count.
What God requires of you is the source of your significance and influence.
When you see people who appear greater and bigger than you, don't be intimidated.
Realise that they are in their calling and you just need to find yours and begin to live it.
We all are a part of God's big plan! We need each other to bring God's kingdom down on earth.
Don't let anyone look down on you. You matter.
Say to yourself, "I MATTER! MY PURPOSE IS VALID".
Say it loud and let the devil hear you!
HALLELUJAH! I feel like screaming! Do you feel me?!
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!
