MAGIC DOESN'T HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE

Some weeks ago, one of favourite young persons made fun of my protruding belly.


See, at the time, I was becoming careless about my eating habit.


While I was sure she meant no harm, her little gesture reminded me I need to take responsibility for the change I want to see in my life.


There and then, I decided enough was enough; I was going to change!



Why am I sharing this with you?

I need you to realise that the true test of maturity in life is not age but taking full responsibility for your life.

Accepting that if anything would change in your life, it will have to begin with you, not someone else.

If you want a different life, then you must be different.


Realising that nothing changes unless and until you change.


Some people love change, as long as it has nothing to do with them.


The moment it has something to do with them, they quit, they refuse to commit or try to find someone to blame.


Listen, if you want more from life, then you have to give more...


Magic does not happen in real life, you make happen what you want to happen.


☑️ Stop complaining about your life, commit to the change you desire.

☑️ Stop blaming anyone for your carelessness, start your journey of personal development.

☑️ Stop wishing you had richer parents, begin to educate yourself financially.

☑️ Stop wishing you furthered your education, and get to it.

☑️ Quit all the negative emotions that hold you down, tire you out and stress you; change your mindset.


Don’t like the blame game swallow your happiness and devoid you of the drive to succeed. You can change your life today!

Your Breakthrough Is Worth The Wait

September 29, 2025
Not long ago, my wife and I went to a restaurant for brunch. We ordered something simple; pancakes and French toast. Within minutes, our plates arrived. But there was a couple seated nearby who had ordered a grand wooden platter filled with all sorts of delicacies. They waited much longer. When their food finally came, everyone in the restaurant turned and whispered “Wow!” They had this sizzling whole fish platter that I had never seen before in my life. That day, I learnt a truth: nothing “Wow” comes quick. Beloved, maybe you’re in a season where it looks like others are being served before you. Their careers are moving faster, their prayers seem answered sooner, their dreams unfolding while you’re still waiting. But remember this: waiting is not wasting. God is not late; He is preparing something bigger, something weightier, something that will make others say, “Wow, only God could have done this.” Hebrews 10:37 says, “He who is coming will come and will not delay.” Delay doesn’t mean denial. Waiting is God’s way of maturing you for what He is bringing or maturing what He is bringing for you. So hold on. Your platter is being prepared. And when it arrives, it will have been worth the wait. I believe in you. Dr Samuel Ekundayo | The Purpose Preacher

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
