YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE

YOU HAVE TP PRACTICE

Have you made enough mistakes yet?

Have you given yourself permission to make mistakes in the process of refining your gift?


See, you cannot be great by watching other people while you are idle. 

You cannot be a great speaker by watching other great speakers on TV.


You cannot become a valuable musician just watching others do their thing.

You cannot become renowned by locking yourself indoors.


You have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone and into your destiny.

You have to get out there.

You have to risk the criticisms of others.

You have to step into your destiny.

You have to try and fail and try and fail, till you get it.


Practice. Practice. Practice. 


John Maxwell, in his book Talent is never enough said that, "successful people practice harder and practice longer than unsuccessful people".


Destiny is not attained in the secret or being idle. 

Let me say that again! You cannot be great in secret and you will never be great without showing up. You need a platform. 


If no one is giving you a platform, create one for yourself!

You are the light of the world, not the light of your room!


After attaining what you think is excellence in the secret, you have to get out in the open!

Come out! Be known! Be seen.


The brothers of Jesus once said this to Him and I think they are right: 

""...Leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples there may see the works You are doing. For no one who wants to be known publicly acts in secret. Since You are doing these things, show Yourself to the world." [John 7:3-4]


I feel like screaming that last phrase - "SHOW YOURSELF TO THE WORLD!"


Even Jesus knew they were right. He responded by saying, He is aware of His time and He is not out there yet because His time hadn't arrived.


If your time is right, you cannot afford to be in the secret any longer.

If you have to learn the secrets of personal branding, learn it.

If you have to get a mentor, get one. 

If you have to pay to be coached, do it!


I believe in you

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!
