Normalise praying. People aren't jealous of material things no more. They are jealous of your aura. Your personality. The way people respond to you. The way people love and support you. Your natural leadership abilities. Things money can't buy.
Lemme tell you SOME of the things that you’ll go through when you’re chosen:
- Delay
- Witchcraft
- Discouragement
- Smear campaigns (character assassination)
- Lies against your name
- Some will try to steal your destiny
Don’t fret. Stay in God. Never defend yourself. Shh 🤫
I saw a post that said: ‘One thing about God, He lets the scene play out. He allows them to mock, lie, and gossip. Then He blesses you in a way that makes them choke on their own words. “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord” (Romans 12:19).’ Be still, and let God fight your battles.
Be intentional in your prayers. Tell God exactly what you need and desire. He cares about the details. God is faithful, he will give you the desires of your heart, like he promised. ❤️
I urge you to study Ezekiel 37:1-14.
You will understand the importance of speaking into your life. You can literally recreate your future with the words you speak, especially when you declare the WORD of GOD over any circumstances.
I charge you to start speaking to your finances, start speaking to your marriage, speak to your job, speak and declare your expectations over all that concerns you. And watch what will happen!
History does not suffer from amnesia. The lives you touch, the knowledge you produce, and the paths you redirect cannot be erased by noise or detractors.
The work remains.
Grateful for this moment with Graça Machel at the University of Cape Town.

Not to sound delusional, but please pray for grace. Life isn’t really about hard work. It’s more about alignment, meeting the right people, grace, mercy, and favour.
