THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE A TERRIBLE FUTURE — BUT I CHOSE GOD’S PURPOSE // REV CHRIS OYAKHILOME
When I was a teenager, I made a firm decision about the direction of my life. I knew the cause I had chosen was greater than the opinions of people, and I was willing to pay whatever price came with it.
Some people told me, “You may end up with a terrible future. You may become poor. You may suffer.” But they didn’t understand that I had already counted the cost. I had made up my mind that nothing in this world would be valuable enough to make me abandon God’s calling.
I reached a point where material possessions no longer controlled me. Whether I had clothes, money, recognition, or comfort was secondary. What mattered most to me was the Gospel.
I remember praying and telling the Lord that even if my journey required me to walk through valleys, mountains, and difficult places, I was willing. Even if I had no permanent home or worldly comfort, I would still serve Him.
I was willing to preach to the poorest of the poor. I was willing to go wherever God sent me, whether people knew my name or not.
Today, remember this: God is trusting you with something bigger than yourself. He is trusting us to reach people, rescue lives, and carry the message of Jesus Christ to the world.
Never allow the fear of your future to make you abandon God’s purpose for your life.
